History: Talyth Azuryth was once a legendary slayer of monsters. She was a Huntress at heart, constantly seeking the greatest challenge, the biggest, most ferocious, and most terrifying creatures to hunt and kill. She spurned the secluded confines of the Dark Elf empire, not content to sit in eternal night torturing the weak and helpless. For her, there was only the thrill of the hunt. No kill was worth while if it was not earned. It must be fought for and taken through skill and guile.
Her exploits earned her fame and recognition throughout the lands, and eventually a group of like-minded followers formed around her. Between her own legendary ability and that of her new found allies, no challenge proved too great. There was nothing she could not fell with a hail of well timed arrows, be it man, giant, or even dragon.
Eventually, her quest for ever greater prey lead her to the Black Jungle. And it was in it's twisted depths, she lost herself. The terrible creatures within the Jungle proved to be every bit the challenge she had wished them to be. Though she and her warriors slew scores of the twisted creatures, the cost was high. After weeks of kill-or-be-killed survival, only she and a handful of her best hunters were left.
By now, the darkness and evil of the jungle had seeped into her mind far more effectively than the casual torture and cruelty of her homeland ever had. Se had come here seeking the greatest challenge to hunt... and was it not true that the greatest prey was in fact... the Hunter, and not the Hunted? The creatures of the Jungle were fearsome, but she had already proved her dominance over them. The followers she had brought with her, however, were just as famous in their own right. To her corrupted mind, the jungle itself was no longer her challenge... but it was the very warriors she had brought with her.
And so her true hunt began. She ceased to be the famed Huntress, and became a ruthless predator. One by one she silently stalked her own former friends and allies. When the time came to make the kill, she would cast aside her bow, overtaken by a blood lust. She soon found that the twisted magics of the jungle had not only corrupted her mind, but her body as well. Her fingers had become claw-tipped, and her teeth had become fangs. It was these new weapons that she used to slaughter her companions, and feast on their still warm flesh.
Fifty years have passed since Talyth's fall into feral madness. Few among the human lands remember her name, or her exploits. There are some who could tell of the lost expedition, but of it's true fate, many can speculate, but none know the tale for sure.
Powers and Abilities:
Shadow Magic: As a Dark Elf, Talyth was naturally instructed in manipulating darkness and shadow. She can create and alter shadows around her, cloaking herself within them, blinding her enemies, and even hurling damaging knives or arrows. She personally developed a technique she calls "Shadow Dancing" where she creates swirling patches of darkness around her and then rapidly teleports from one to another. She also commonly creates shadow clones of herself that can mimic her movements and attacks to further disorient and confuse enemies.
Master Marksman: Trained with a bow nearly from birth, Talyth's skill is unmatched almost anywhere in the world. If Talyth is able to see her target she can hit it, no matter how far. The bow has been her weapon of choice for well over two hundred years
