Maelshyve

Maelshyve was the blackened keep of Despana in Rhoska-Tor, which fell to the lightning strike that ended the Undead War. The Faendryl forced her horde back into the fortress with lesser demons, and imploded it in order to irrevocably destroy everyone inside in an instant. The Elves were horrified by these dark magics, and banished the Faendryl to the ruins of Maelshyve. The construction of the fortress began in -18,756 and it was destroyed in -15,185.

Behind The Scenes

Maelshyve is the name of a demonic demi-goddess in DragonRealms, who was expelled from "The Void" by a death god, and escaped her imprisonment in her wasteland fortress. She is their most powerful known necromantic entity.

You see Maelshyve, a hulking beast of great stature.
She has radiant green eyes that cast a sickly glow upon the dusky midnight-blue scales that cover her body. Long tresses of willowy black hair cascade elegantly down around her, giving her form an almost alluring apperance despite the menacing capabilities evident in her massive triple-tined claws extending from bulky arms wrought with uncompromising musculature.
Two deathly black reptilian wings are folded behind her back, tipped with spiked talons that glisten malevolently in the light.
Her massive, yet shapely torso tapers down to an elegant waist, supported by heavy trunk-like legs. Her feet are hideous implements of war, bearing gruesome black claws that glisten with the blood of her latest victims.
A gargantuan tail slithers from behind her back, thickly plated with armored scales and bearing stiletto-sized spines.
