A once-respected Elder Goddess of the Third Circle, Malmydia served as a member of the Hamadhi who first served under the tutelage of Lantra and Carsini, though the differences in philosophy would distance Her from the former and draw Her closer to the latter. A pioneer of dangerous, innovative, and miraculous work, Malmydia would earn her title of "the Chiurgeon" through tireless dedication and peerless innovation.

Propelled to even greater heights by Fain's Elixir, Malmydia would soon experiment in even more unethical ways. Her skill with a doctor's needle and in manipulating the essence of Her fellow Divine would soon see Her feared in spite of the necessary service She provided to the Hamadhi. Details of Her experimentation and secret projects revealed before the Triumvirate saw Her known by even more monstrous appellations: the Shaper of Maladies, Mother of Plagues, Vivisector, and Lady of Needles among others far more distasteful.

Returned now to the First World, She is known to favour the illithoid, mugwump, and viscanti races.

In-game Description

Appearing as a woman who barely exceeds six feet of height, She is a radiant immortal whose unassuming appearance is belied by the aura of power and menace that hangs about Her which causes every motion to appear cruel. Kept half-lidded, Her large, pale green eyes are the colour of a pond at daybreak and are framed by a thick brush of beautiful lashes. High cheekbones lend Her face an angular slant and Her thin lips are often pressed together in a tight line beneath Her narrow nose. Though the air about Her is refreshingly clean, the sterile scent is almost nauseating as it overpowers something else which hangs about Her in an almost imperceptible translucent haze
