A highly mystical and enchanted Drake, Daelomin (S."Dusk-shadow" Q."Daiolómin") was often referred to in Second Age legend as the Ghost-wing of the Ered Engrin. Her lair was situated at the Dancing Spire, a little over 40 miles west of the Withered Heath and halfway between Gondmaeglom and Anvilmount.
(character) made her way into the frozen heights of the Mountains. As she did so, a great rushing wind tore at her and a vast shadow momentarily blocked the sky overhead. Looking up in alarm, she found himself faced by a Dragon, one of the Great Worms, Morgoth's mightiest creations. This one was covered with gleaming black scales. Her name was "Daelomin" but she knew nothing more of her. The Dragon regarded her for a moment, then spoke. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am she who holds sway over this region. I am the Ghost-wing of Ered Engrin. And you are known to me." The Dragon rumbled with laughter. "Do not be so surprised," she continued. "I know much. What I don't know is why you are here. Please tell me - before I decide I want to know what you taste like."

Encounter for Carnak at 2802 (DS) when stating allegiance:
"I follow the path of Darkness!" The cry rang out in the confines of the cave as he waited anxiously for the Dragon's response. With a great hissing breath, the Dragon looked down and whispered, "So......? Nothing you can say has any meaning! Now you die... Daelomin looked sneeringly down at the warrior before him. It would be fun to slaughter this puny warrior, he thought. Daelomin watched as the warrior launched an all out attack against what he believed to be the Dragon's weakest points. Suddenly, the warrior doubled over in pain as he was hit by spells of stunning force. Daelomin merely spoke a few words and his opponent fell to the ground gasping for breath and writhing in pain. "You had no chance," he whispered and a ball of fire enveloped his opponent's body. Daelomin turned slowly away and left the scene. The body of his enemy lay wracked and broken on the ground behind him.
Daelomin is often referred to as 'Ghost-Wing'. This response may work to recruit her if you are a DS?
