Ydajisk, the Mother of Tongues is a blathering, gender-fluid protean lord of language evolution, lost words, and slang. It owns a veritable collection of lost books, including copies of The Withered Footsteps of the Dire Shepherd, the Chronicle of the Righteous, Book of the Damned, Concordance of Rivals, and rubbings of the Codex of the Infinite Planes.

Chaotic NeutralA chaotic neutral character values his own freedom and ability to make choices. He avoids authority and does not fear standing out or appearing different. In extreme cases, he may embrace a lifestyle entirely suited to himself— living in a cave near a city, becoming an artist, or otherwise challenging traditions. He never accepts anything at face value and makes up his own mind rather than blindly accepting what others tell him to do or think.

Chaotic GoodA chaotic good character cherishes freedom and the right to make her own way. She might have her own ethics and philosophy, but is not rigidly held by them. She may try to do good each day, perhaps being kind to a stranger or giving money to those less fortunate, but does so purely out of joy. Such a character makes up her own mind up about what is good and right based upon truth and facts, but does not fool herself that evil acts are good. Her goodness is benevolent—perhaps occasionally blind, but always well meant., N
A chaotic good character can seem unpredictable, giving alms to an unfortunate outside a church but refusing to make a donation within. She trusts her instincts and could put more stock in the words of a beggar with kind eyes than the teachings of a harsh-looking bishop. She might rob from the rich and give to the poor, or spend lavishly for her own joy and that of her friends. In extreme cases, a chaotic good character may seem reckless in her benevolence.NeutralA neutral character is unusual in that she may have one of two distinct philosophies: she may be a person who is neutral because of distrust or apathy toward others, or one who wishes to have a truly neutral stance in the world and rejects extremism., CN
A neutral character could seem selfish or disinterested. She might be driven primarily by an acceptance of fate, and the most extreme followers of this alignment become hermits, hiding from the zealots of the world. Some neutral characters, however, strive openly for neutrality, and shun any act that veers too extremely toward any alignment. This type of neutral character prides herself on navigating her way between law and chaos, evil and good. She may have a fatalistic view in the face of nature and the fundamental power of night and day.Chaotic NeutralA chaotic neutral character values his own freedom and ability to make choices.

She is thoughtless in her actions and acts on whims, regardless of the suffering it causes others.
In many ways, a chaotic evil character is pinned down by her inherent nature to be unpredictable. She is like a spreading fire, a coming storm, an untested sword blade. An extreme chaotic evil character tends to find similarly minded individuals to be with—not out of any need for company, but because there is a familiarity in this chaos, and she relishes the opportunity to be true to her nature with others who share that delight. - Realms

Sibilant (Sp)
Burning Tongue (Ex)
As a standard action three times per day, you can transform your mouth into a serpentine maw with a tongue of roiling sonic energy. This grants you a ranged touch attack that targets a single creature within 30 feet. The attack deals 8d6 points of sonic damage and renders the target confused for 1d4 rounds. In addition, a creature hit by this attack must succeed at a Will save (DC = 10 + half your Hit Dice + your Charisma modifier) or it is unable to communicate by any spoken or written language for a number of hours equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Screams of the Deep (Sp)
As a standard action, you can cast either power word blind, power word kill, power word stun, or word of chaos as a spell-like ability, treating your character level as your caster level. You can cast these spell-like abilities a number of times per day equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1), but you cannot repeat the spell you most recently cast. The saving throw DC, when applicable, is equal to 10 + half your Hit Dice + your Charisma modifier.
