Tinâthlíen, known as the Darklight Dragon, and also as the Thunder's Shadow, is a mighty and monstrous dragon, sired of a forbidden bloodline and the source of many ancient evils. He makes his lair in a pit hundreds of feet beneath the earth, where his servants guard him and bring him tribute at the heart of their monstrous city.
Tinâthlíen is a truly ancient Dragon, with the blood of both Shadow and Blue dragons in his veins. He seems physically almost insubstantial, and is often lit from within by sharp purple glows, making him difficult to spot. When he hunts, he stalks his prey for some time before descending upon them to wreak absolute destruction upon whatever he chooses. His claws are like scythes of adamantium, and his teeth are like a forest of blades. Even without his immense strength, his attacks seem to shear through almost any material, and his breath weapon alternately obliterates its target into ash, or makes it fade away into the Shadow plane. Foes who truly earn his ire take both effects simultaneously. Physically, he measures over 200 feet long from nose to tail tip, and his wings span half that distance again. Statistics: Tinâthlíen is a Great Wyrm Shadow Dragon, advanced to 50 Hit Dice. He can freely choose to deal either 10 negative levels, or 24 d8 electricity damage, or half of each, with his breath weapon. He has the spellcasting capacity of a 21st-level Epic spellcaster, and knows many unique dragon-specific or metabreath spells, including some which can animate his breath weapon to grant him aid against foes, or teleport through shadows. He has even mastered several Epic spells, which makes him incredibly dangerous even to Archmages or equivalent heroes. His cunning and ferociousness must not be underestimated, and he has been the bane of hundreds of heroes over his two thousand years of life. His Challenge Rating is approximately 29. Treasure Hoard: Finding the treasure hoard of the Darklight Dragon is quite a feat, and should be everything that any adventurer's tiny little shrivelled heart has ever dreamed- wagons overflowing with coinage and jewelry, magic items galore, and more.
