Yath-Lhi

Yath-Lhi, also known as The Black Princess, was a character who is spoken of in the H.P. Lovecraft-inspired Cthulhu Mythos.

Description
Nothing is mentioned of Yath-Lhi in life other than that she was the princess of a city named Tyrhhia in Earth’s Dreamlands.

It is known, however, that whilst trekking across the slopes of a mighty and forbidden mountain she and her army were beset by a great landslide. Chancing across an enormous ruby amongst the fallen rocks, Yath-Lhi ordered her warriors to haul the gem back to Tyrhhia, unaware that it contained the essence of an evil being known as the Fly-the-Light.

By the time Yath-Lhi and her forces reached their home city, they were akin to zombies, bereft of any thoughts other than those given to them by Fly-the-Light. Soon this malady overtook the rest of the unsuspecting population, turning them into nothing more than mindless slaves for their new master.

What occured thereafter is unknown, but the city of Tyrhhia eventually fell, it’s people now nothing more than dry bones beneath the sands of the Dreamlands.
