## Physical description

### Species

Aspect

Tethlaen was the Aspect of Fear. Child of Mari, the Aspect of Man, Tethlaen could instill fear in the hearts of men. Legend says he died by flying too far north and flew off the edge of the world.

Tethlaen is a main boss fight in the map, and is a reskin of the Ender Dragon. Defeating Tethlaen supposedly completes the main story of the map. However, unlike normal Minecraft, there is a postgame and final bossfight which can be started by reading the End Credits.

On top of this, there are 3 other crystals each hidden in a structure around the end island. To destroy these crystals, you must climb to the window on the each structure. You must then break in, and the crystal will be inside. It will be sealed in yellow stained glass, which must also be broken to destroy the crystal. In each of these structures, there is a special mob called a "Zealot of Nothing" which acts the same as a normal Illusioner mob.
 **Special Attacks** | Tethlaen has 2 special attacks. Two it uses periodically and one it uses whenever it perches in the middle of the arena.
Tethlaen's first special attack is a fireball attack. It uses this attack ocassionally, however, it uses it more and more often as its health gets lower. 4 reticles will appear around the player, warning them about where the fireballs are going to land, before it comes down, dealing some damage. The damage of this attack is low unless you are directly hit by a fireball. The way to dodge this attack is to run away from the reticles as soon as you see them on the ground.
 **Strategy** | In regards to destroying the crystals, bringing a bow is recommended in order to shoot at them from the ground, or to climb to the top of one pillar to make it easier to shoot the others. The legendary elytra, Avsohm'Kohl is good for this fight, as you can climb to the top of a taller pillar, and slowly glide down towards other lower pillars, or the caged crystals. For the crystals located in the 3 structures, you are not required to fight the Zealots of Nothing guarding each crystal, and you can more easily rush in and break the crystal and leave, not engaging the Zealot when it attacks you. After the crystals are destroyed, you may pelt Tethlaen with arrows to deal damage. Power 4 or 5 is recommended. Ultva's Bowblade is a great option for a bow as well. Normal Ender Dragon strategies also apply to this fight, so you can use beds to deal huge damage to Tethlaen when it perches, and even kill him before he can use any special attacks. (The final hit must be a player hit to trigger the Advancement Myth-Slayer). For armor, diamond or netherite with protection level 3-4 is recommended, as well as the Feather Falling enchant for your boots. This allows you to not take much damage if Tethlaen launches you into the air, or if you want to jump down from an obsidian pillar.
* The boot slot should be class boots, as the highest tier you can manage, with protection 3 or 4, as well as feather falling 3 or 4
* The helmet and leggings should be diamond or netherite gear with protection 3 or 4
* The chestplate can either be a diamond or netherite chestplate with protection 3 or 4, or it can be the legendary chestplate, **Rehntite Plate Mail.** This chestplate gives a large amount of health, and defense, approximately the equivalent of 4 netherite chestplates in one, however it halves the players movement speed, attack damage, and attack speed, effectively making your DPS 1/4 of its original. Some players may choose to use this.

### Lore

Tethlaen, child of Mari, is one of the many aspects of the realm. He created fear and was also able to twist the definition of Fear itself. He is worshiped by tribes in the Frozen Bite, and some people of Highfall (although Tethlaen Worship was outlawed in Highfall). Legend has it that he died by flying too far north, off the edge of the realm. However, he was corrupted and turned into a slave by the Mythoclast, who use him to bend the definition of fear to its will.
