Falazure
Falazure, the fearsome Night Dragon, reigns over domains of energy depletion, Undeath, deterioration, and fatigue. Depictions vary, with some describing him as a decaying skeletal figure, while others envision him as an aged black dragon with taut skin stretched over his bones.
Though he is the master of all Undeath and is the supreme deity, he is also described 'the pupeteer', the one that allows all death to flow through him. It was told that once all undeath deities tried to overthrow him, but failed miserably and thus, all became direct subserviants to him. He is ever meticolous, not allowing those that reach Demi Power to become unacquainted with him and acknowledging him.
He is using his subservients and siphoning theire power, limiting their ability to challenge him again, he continously helps them and thus making sure that no would be able to make an alliance against him as this is unworthy of their time.

He requires a continuous stream of death to maintain his beauty and perfection; if he goes without death for too long, he becomes gaunt and skeletal.

It is widely believed among his followers that Falazure was the son of Asgorath and brother of Bahamut and Tiamat.

Around 980 AB, the black dragon Gryznath, a Chosen of Faluzure, was sent by his god to topple the theocracy of Aluda'ar. Gryznath took the chance to try to convert an Orc horde to the worship of Faluzure. While his plans were thwarted when a band of adventurers killed the dragon, some paladins of She'eros believe Gryznath was later revived by Faluzure as an undead, as his remains were never found.
