Eriskigal

An ancient dragon of the second generation, daughter of Sin and Ningal, and wife of Ahriman.

Her powers lie in darkness and the uttermost depths, and she is called the Guardian and Patroness of the Dark City.

After the fall of Baal and the death of her huband, Eriskigal left Alusia along with the other ancient dragons, and with them helped create their refuge of solace: Draconia.

Eriskigal could not find peace however -- eternally mourning her lost husband -- and remained flesh while most of the other ancient ones finally gave up their forms and joined in the spirit graal. She lived in a tower of bones in the garden at the centre of Kadath-that-was until met by the Guild party tracing the lost dragons and informed of Ahriman's presence in present day Alusia.

Returning to Alusia with the party Eriskigal rejoined Arhiman and did not leave Alusia along with Baal and most of her kin. Her present whereabouts are unknown, but presumably she is with Ahriman.

In dragon form Eriskigal is some 50 feet long, jet black and wreathed in shadows. In humanoid form she stands about 6'8" with pale skin, long straight black hair, and black (somewhat gothic) clothing.
