History
Noxia is a very special black dragon. Unlike any other dragon, she was taken by the god of poison and was born to be a subject of his experimentation. The dragon's naturally strong constitution and the black dragon's resistance to acid would let the god of poison experiment with various kinds of toxins. Yet, Noxia wasn't immune to poison, and was tortured by the god of poison for years, even centuries. The poison, not strong enough to kill her, did let her understand the true meaning of suffering. The various twisting her body, forcing her to shed scale, her skin, thin and corroded oozing a green poison, deadly fumes surrounding Noxia.
But, as she grew and survived those experimentations, her might also grow. Raised among the gods, and experimented on, she was a dragon unlike any other, and when she reached the adult stage, she faced the god of poison. Knowing her physical strength or the poison she was now able to control would be useless, she plotted in secrets. After years of planning, the trap was ready, and soon, the god of poison was weakened, and trapped. Noxia revealed herself as the master of this plan, enjoying the slow and painful torture she was subjecting her former master to. Keeping him alive, she was soon known as the Mistress of Venum, gaining godly power, and thriving when watching the former god of poison losing all of his power.
Legend says, the almost dead god, powerless, is still locked within Noxia lair, which became the new god of poison, the scream of horror echoing through the plane as Noxia keeps torturing him, peeling his skin off, burning his flesh, letting his lungs rot.
