“I wish I could destroy the wicked.”
“Then you shall be an instrument of death.”
Taranth heard the news of her sisters death in a foreign land. She was distraught, and fell into a deep depression. It took weeks for her friends to convince her to seek help, to talk to someone. She was eventually dragged to therapy, and began to unravel her issues. The Empire had fallen to infighting, the forces of Tharizdun worked against those who served Rohini, all fighting amongst the cultists who sought to bring an Elder Evil to the Material Plane.
She merely told her therapist that she wished to cut them all down. Her therapist smiled, and granted her wish. Taranth was no Storm Tamer, and was instead grafted with the ability to control it. She worked tirelessly, to ensure the Storm ravaged the Empire, creating enormous hordes of undead. As the Lightning disintegrated Elven flesh - all that remained was the Skeletons, reanimated by Tharizdun’s touch; intelligent creatures reduced to creatures designed only to kill.
Taranth was ultimately cut down by Weyland, for her army had marched upon the Sea of Fallen Stars. The Umbral Court claimed her soul for declaring herself a champion of good, but ultimately serving evil.
