Empress Lyriel Vlyn'dara

Several centuries after the demonic invasion of the Drow Empire, the many glorious cities of the Depths were governed by the worst Empress the Empire had yet seen. Her name was Empress Lyriel Vlyn'dara, but amongst the people she was also know as the Cuckoo Queen. According to Drow history, not one people had hated their monarch with such passion as they did during those days. Yet there was one person who became even more hated than Lyriel.  

Early life

Lyriel Vlyn'dara was the successor to House Vlyn'dara. As a high ranking royal she witnessed many assassination attempts. The eventual successful assassination of her mother left her traumatized, as the assassin was disguised as her so it was as if she saw herself kill her own mother. Rumors spread that such a young royal as so ambitious that she killed her own mother to get an early rise to the throne. Knowing it was best to embrace the rumor, she immediately assumed power despite her young age. Understanding that the threat on her mothers life was likely still a threat on her own left her obsessed with staying awake and aware, never trusting to rest in even the most secured locations. The court alchemist was ordered to create potion upon potion that would stave off the exhaustion that came from a lack of rest. Though the physical effects of lack of rest could be largely averted, the mental aspects couldn't. Several years after first starting the habitual consumption of these potions the madness started to manifest. Unfortunately the potions also caused a sense of euphoria which left the empress blind to her own mental decline.  

Death

One of the Empress' consorts, only known by the name of Nimor as his last name was forcefully struck from the records, had decided that the Empire had suffered enough of her lunatic ravings and assassinated her in her bed. He was caught shortly after the act and although he did the Empire and its people a great service, the poor bastard was widely hated for killing an Empress. He was quickly tried and executed in the most brutal way known to the Drow.
