a fabled Large Shadow Dragon
“In the caverns where the River Lethe carves through oblivion’s stone, there sleeps a dragon who feeds not on flesh, but on remembrance.”
Born from the shadow cast by the first mortal lie, Lethefang is said to have clawed its way out of the Styx itself. Its wings are woven from the reflections of those who have forgotten their names, and its breath steals not life, but memory. Where it hunts, prayers unravel and oaths turn hollow.
In the Underworld, even shades whisper his name in terror, for he is both archivist and predator — a dragon whose hoard is composed of memories once precious to the living. It was Lethefang who devoured the recollections of the Titan Mnemos, ending an age of perfect remembrance. Since then, he has slept within the Caverns of the Forgotten Pulse, dreaming of all he has consumed.
His scales drink light. His eyes reflect only what you have lost. And his hunger is endless. He takes the mortal guise of @Letherion
Letherion, the Pale Warden
When the ancient shadow dragon Lethefang must walk among mortals or veil his power, he assumes the guise of Letherion, a tall, silver-eyed man draped in shifting shadow. In this form, he serves as both emissary and warden of Lethean memory—an echo of the wyrm’s true self bound within mortal flesh. Those who meet his gaze often feel a fleeting sense of déjà vu, as if he remembers a part of them they have long forgotten.
“When the heart of shadow was offered sanctuary, it ceased to be a beast of hunger and became a keeper of echoes.”
Bound by Eiraneos of Hades through the Ritual of Consecration, Lethefang was not enslaved but enshrined. Within the Lethean Soulheart, his essence coalesced into a realm of mirrored caverns suspended in a void of silver mist — a sanctuary where all forgotten things drift like motes of starlight.
This inner dominion is known as the Lethean Hoard, a domain of obsidian spires and still pools reflecting memories instead of light. Here, Lethefang slumbers coiled around the treasures of memory — each gem, a life once lived; each breath, a whisper of what once was.
He can be talked with telepathically using the heart or his realm can be entered. He can be summoned in true draconic form as @Lethefang, The Memory-Eater or in mortal guise as @Letherion
