TDahak's defiance and his hatred for all of creation brought loss to dragonkind. It is said that the first wyrmwraiths rose from the souls of dragons hurled into the Void by Dahak, but whether this is true or not is still a matter of debate. What is undeniable is that the wyrmwraiths are unliving conduits of the Void, shaped but unshackled by the plane's hunger for indiscriminate destruction.
Wyrmwraiths dwell in remote areas marred by catastrophes and death, where they can better hide their undead nature or indulge in their grim research. Their lairs often have a single, hidden and highly defensible antechamber where the wyrmwraith confers with its agents as it engages in a war with distant rivals through expendable proxies. This dimly lit antechamber is usually filled with death and many undead servants, some raised from the bodies of those whose usefulness has come to an end.
Wyrmwraiths might enter temporary alliances with other undead, cults, or necromancers, especially when it comes to unearthing powerful secrets or striking a blow against a common powerful threat. While wyrmwraiths take great pleasure in acting against those who wield the power of the gods, often targeting them first in battle to rend their flesh and protective spells with their claws, they are often very cautious, striking only after stacking the odds in their favor.
