Yandra Din Ma'az
Life
According to Tdjaia'ucchan, she was a mystic and visionary. She was from a people who were on the verge of extinction, dying of an inherited disease for which there was no cure, which worsened with every generation, and for which their gods would not aid them. The portraits owned by Ambrosius depict her as a goblinoid; it is assumed that she was a Bhuka.Archive of the Anima

The Call of the Second
And the second spoke: “I seize divinity for my people; that we might master shape and form, and bring forth that same mastery - let there be no sickness nor impediment of the flesh within my domain. I claim Form, for I have beheld the Face of the King, and pledge myself thus to Victorious Night”
Aftermath
Tdjaia'ucchan claimed that she lost control of her physical form, and constantly shapeshifted between myriad bodies. Tdjaia also claimed that she lost control of her mind, in much the same way. The mummified scribe Erubal of the Tomb of the Five Physicians claimed that one of Yandra's priorities - and greatest achievements - following her ascension was the remaking of the Bhuka into four species of "goblinoids".The War of the Paragons
Tdjaia'ucchan claimed that she allied with Cendra and Velzarn against Oruban. Tdjaia'ucchan claims that she abandoned Cendra's cause after the destruction of Shas'Ellith. Visionary evidence, and elements of the Fragment of Storms, has suggested that she may have been the lover of Tzumeqiel at some point in time. Her throne is believed to have been in Caer Daru.Binding
Tdjaia'ucchan claims that she worked with the Oathcircle, continuing to oppose Oruban. It is believed that she was bound at the White Grove, her body separated into nine parts and buried so that she could not regenerate. Morkath's Account names the location of the White Grove as Caer Daru.Followers
Little has been learned of the followers of Yandra since her fall. It is likely that at least some of her followers undertook the Oath of Night and have reincarnated over the intervening centuries.Legacy
The full extent of Yandra's influence on the world has yet to be established. Her most obvious influence is in the creation of the four "goblinoid" species, each of which was derived from an aspect of the Bhuka: the Goblins Hobgoblins, Bugbears, and Verdan. The original Eusocial Bond is speculated to have been somehow linked to her magic, though the specifics are somewhat unclear.
