Malrian Ikess

Malrian Ikess, more popularly known as the Black Goddess, is the neutral evil goddess of deception, cruelty, and darkness. Legends say that once the Black Goddess was a powerful half-elvish sorceress who turned upon both her races and seduced the humans of the Algostam  into attacking Unuviel Belore through the use of enchantments and illusions. By the time the humans realized they had been tricked by this sorceress and attacked her, she had already managed to achieve her true goal: through the sacrifice of a thousand souls hidden away inside Spirit Trees, she managed to perform a ritual that granted her godhood. It has been millenia since then, but both humans and elves remain constantly watchful for her presence and her agents, who exist only to cause strike and suffering. The acolytes of the Black Goddess do no strike openly if they can help it, and avoid any implication that they serve their dark mistress; instead they goad and manipulate others into fighting for them.

Malrian's magical prowess was so great that she formed a new technique of magic that was subtle and hard to detect -- part of why she went unnoticed for so long. She has passed the knowledge of this technique, known as The Black Goddess's Kiss, on to her followers, which frequently allows them to use magic to manipulate people without it being noticed.
