Neriscyrlas

==Summary==
Neriscyrlas is a powerful ancient undead dragon and is the primary antagonist of the Beast of Winter expansion of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. In her desire to gain immortality, she encroached into the frozen realm of White Void of Rymrgand, God of Erosion and Collapse, which includes concepts like death, famine, plague, entropy and bad luck. Her underestimation of the god led to her existence itself getting eroded and she would certainly have died then and there. In a flash of inspiration, she bound her existence to an Engwithian phylactery that happened to be there. This enabled her to withstand and survive Rymrgand's wrath, as he was incapable of destroying it. However, it also caused her to be trapped in the White Void. Through sheer willpower, she is able to will herself into existence in the material world, but is always inevitably sucked back into the White Void.
Rymrgand was powerful enough for him to tolerate Neriscyrlas' presence in his realm, but she was also an existence his pride wouldn't allow. When circumstances forced the Watcher of Caed Nua into the Deadfire Archipelago, he seized his chance to get rid of this nuisance.
