Lilith was the original Chronicler of the Dread Cult. She was known as the secret flame, as she built a secret chamber to hide the most precious relics and knowledge of the order from a split which threatened to destroy the cult.
The Dread are a cult of Dragon worshipers in Terrinoth. They plotted to bring back the chief of the dragons: High Lord Margath, who they believed was not killed but instead imprisoned. The cult originated as a splinter sect of the Cult of Kellos, and operated from a secret lair in the crypts of Vynelvale.
