XD Well Miyread is a very old entity and has been through a lot. She can suck souls out of people and has been known on many occasions to go hunting with her Generals and eat rotten flesh off of carcasses while in her beast-like form. There's a lot of back story to her and how she came to be what she is, but in the Darkling Lands she's Queen too that's part of how they are. And as Queen, her life is bound directly to the castle (living crystal) and has to regularly do blood and soul sacrifices to it to keep it alive.<br/><br/>So there are scenes (which have been done with the people who play her Generals) where they guard her as she goes into the belly of The Mount (aka palace) and gets hooked up to a strange machine that basically pumps her blood and essence out so the castle and dormant troops (located in a hive-like core) can be maintained. And in turn The Mount pumps it's own essence into her form. So her life is directly bound to The Mount. If it's damaged she has to give up part of her life and power to help restore it.
