 The Bleeding confined Y'shendra to Bel, as with all of the Corrupted Gods. This, perhaps more than the physical corruption of her form, slowly drove her mad. For a creature defined by what she perceived as her motherhood to be only capable of observing the eradication of hundreds of millions of her children, the near-total annihilation of the Elves and the downfall of the peace and civilization once thought attained, her pain became melded with an overbearing chorus of self-doubt. Y'shendra believed the Bleeding to be her fault. Worst of all, many of the mortals who once adored her seemed to concur, spiting her and her kin for ''creating'' the Bleeding; for showing themselves fallible, without the expected foresight of the Gods.
-In her mind, these critiques were right. Y'shendra, always kind and congenial, thought to harden herself from within her prison of rot. She believed that had she been harsher and more decisive, she could have stopped the Unbroken [[Draedan]] from revolting in the first place. Who ''were'' her children if not the very literal children of the Gods, the ones who conspired against them and sundered Venadak to begin with? First, she realized, she had failed them. Then, by extension, the world.

 These thoughts were made with an addled mind. The influence of Bel's corruption drove her thoughts darker - a desire to become fiercer and more resolute turned into a disciplinary creed; her self-image, that of a benevolent matron, altered over time. She began to view punishment as the correct path forward, lashings for the disobedient, atonement and desperate forgiveness. She found the tortured souls of the Draedan who had caused the Bleeding, who all lied still within Bel, and did not allow them to rest. Instead - as their 'mother' - she committed them to a sort of purgatory, an eternity in her service. From these trials of manipulating the mortal and immortal soul, Y'shendra learned how to twist life into undeath. The taboo Malek had always despised, that of infinitely prolonging the soul's ability to sustain the body, no longer interfered with her thoughts. Y'shendra knew why Malek had confined mortals to a limited life: so that he, and the other Gods, could consume their souls as batteries from within [[Muid]].

 She decided she would deprive them of that, for the Living Gods had failed to do anything at all; they were the cowardly who did not stand for Venadak, who were content to allow their brother and leader to die. Instead, Y'shendra would gain power through souls in a different way: by condemning them to her service for as long as their bodies could still dare to move.

 Her first terrifying creations, the Night Wraiths - or the undead Draedan who once conspired against the Gods - became the first of many nightmarish births. Y'shendra learned to master undeath, a concept originally touched by ancient Necromancy, yet without going far enough. She found a way to manipulate the soul with a disease made for it. She practiced on mortals in the form of the [[Kohrun]], then [[Dragons]], then all other life. By the end of the Fifth Age, in the continent of Icheron, Y'shendra built a horde; an army unlike any ever seen.
-Unlike the other Gods, Y'shendra moved forward from the Sundering with no desire for minimal interference. Wherever she could, she staked her claws into the world and expanded her influence. She sought new children, more obedient, and fashioned herself a crown of bones. It is not purely understood by the people of Atharen just how foul and wide-spread her influence has become, ignorant of the affairs of the eastern continent, which has gone wholly dark.

 The few aware of Y'shendra's games, however, know of the depth of her threat: one in danger of consuming the mortal realms.

-Y'shendra has had very few Draedan, despite her providence over life. The sterile nature of Adac amongst one another has caused no small amount of sorrow between her and Malek in the past, and neither considered reproduction with mortals for a long time, despite the imperative of the Gods to expand their own species. As a result, all of Y'shendra's children from before the Sundering came as the result of divine or miraculous conception, as 'gifts' to loyal followers, or simply methods of implanting her influence within specific regions.

 ===Silas===
 Silas is one of the oldest Draedan of Y'shendra's that is still alive, and is one of the most influential Draedan on Atharen. The Duke of Vendígad's
-Wildlands, he was born and awakened long before Y'shendra's fall. A virtuous, honorable man, the Draedan serves as a reminder of the benevolent deity his mother once was, the Goddess once fostering his good nature herself. A Druid, Silas is said to be the practitioner of a lost, ancient magic, and it is largely through his influence that the [[Elven Gods|Elven God]] Lachrann has survived since the Sundering, and therefore Vendígad itself.

 Born before the genocide and corruption of the old Norai, Silas appears to be similar to ancient [[Ald'Norai]] depictions, some perceiving him to be the last 'pure' Elf, free of the diminishment of their natural traits. He is an impressive and powerful man, and has long fought to keep the last vestiges of the Elven world alive.
-Silas' relationship with Y'shendra has waned to the point of unfamiliarity, since the Sundering. Though she called on him to join her side within Bel, he did not answer her call, and has only disappointedly looked on upon the Adac's recent activities.

-Y'shendra's influence is more extensive than most Gods, especially those locked within Bel. She has forged an effective and powerful network of followers on the surface, largely led by a Blight of her creation, the [[Blacksworn]]. The Necromancer believes it is her duty to create order and prosperity within Atharen, and to allow mortals the full bounty of eternal life. For this reason, she has distributed undeath on an industrial scale in the last century, nearly converting the entire continent of Icheron into an undead mass. Much of her influence, and what she would like to enact upon to the world, is shrouded in mystery however, as the theology and affairs of the eastern continent has largely gone dark. While some in continental Atharen are aware of her threat, none truly understand its scope.
