Lucretia
Her Ladyship Lucretia Mallarn (a.k.a. The Flower of Corruption)
Lucretia was a knight who served The Light Bearer and acted by her tenets. One day her home-town received the visit of Tiamat who searched for a new place for her lair. When The Archdevil appeared she felt powerless and turned to Ilona, but her call wasn't answered. She lost everything, her home, her family, her right arm and left leg were irrepairably torn but most of all she lost her faith. She felt abandoned by The Light Bearer and in that moment of weakness her heart broke.
Lucretia woke up different, she was surrounded by a thick dark mist and she felt no pain, she didn't feel betrayed anymore, in fact she didn't feel anymore. Lucretia's body and hatred had fused with nature becoming the epicenter of the calamity known now as The Explorer's Tomb.
Her corruption extends to all the surroundings of the forest and acts as a deterrant from anyone to enter this place. Shadow creatures feel at home in here and so the forest is filled with them. A thick layer of purple miasma covers the forest and it gets stronger the further in you go.
Lucretia continuously wanders through the Explorer's Tomb in search of intruders in her domain which she converts into corrupted woodland beings.
