Created NPC page for Lennithon, the blue dragon who attacked Greenest under the Cult of the Dragon's command, detailing his servitude and future potential as a rogue or ally.

New page

== Lennithon ==
**Lennithon** is an adult blue dragon of considerable power and volatile temperament, coerced into serving the [[Cult of the Dragon]] during the [[Siege of Greenest]]. His participation in the attack marks one of the first open alliances between mortal cultists and chromatic dragons in the lead-up to the return of [[Tiamat]].

=== Description ===
* **Race:** Dragon (Blue)
* **Age Category:** Adult
* **Alignment:** Lawful Evil
* **Affiliation:** [[Cult of the Dragon]] (bound servitude)
* **Lair:** Unknown (rumored to be in the eastern Greenfields)

Lennithon is massive even by dragon standards, his scales the color of storm-wracked skies, crackling faintly with arcs of static electricity. His eyes gleam with an intelligent malice, but beneath that is the weariness of a creature forced into service.

=== Background ===
Lennithon once ruled a stretch of desert and canyonlands east of Amn, exacting tribute from caravans and nomads alike. His rule was broken when agents of the [[Cult of the Dragon]] discovered him weakened after a territorial battle with another dragon. Rather than slay him, the cult used relics from the [[Forge of Spells]] and the arcane influence of [[Rezmir]] to bind his will, forcing him into servitude.

Though powerful, Lennithon resents his bondage. He follows orders but avoids unnecessary slaughter, feigning exhaustion or disinterest when convenient. During the siege, he obeyed [[Frulam Mondath]]’s commands but conspicuously refrained from finishing off the town’s defenders, perhaps as quiet rebellion.

=== Role in the Campaign ===
Lennithon provided aerial bombardment during the [[Siege of Greenest]], launching lightning breath strikes against the town’s walls and militia. He demonstrated tactical restraint, retreating after each attack rather than pressing for total destruction — behavior noted as highly uncharacteristic by [[Keyleth Siannodel]], the party’s dragon observer.

His brief withdrawal after the assault suggests internal conflict or a weakening of his magical bindings.

=== Personality ===
Arrogant yet calculating, Lennithon sees mortals as pawns unworthy of his wrath — unless provoked. He detests being commanded but endures servitude with cold patience, awaiting an opportunity to reclaim his freedom and exact revenge upon the cultists who dared enslave him.

=== Relationships ===
* **[[Frulam Mondath]]** – Commanded him during the Greenest siege; he obeyed reluctantly.
* **[[Rezmir]]** – Black half-dragon wyrmspeaker responsible for his enslavement.
* **[[Tiamat]]** – The source of both his fear and his loyalty; he reveres her power but loathes her servants.
* **[[Governor Nighthill]]** – Viewed as insignificant but later remembered as the mortal who defied his storm.

=== Abilities ===
* **Lightning Breath (Recharge 5–6):** Exhales a bolt of pure electricity that can annihilate entire squads.
* **Burrow and Tremorsense:** Blue dragons favor subterranean ambushes and storm ambush tactics.
* **Storm Presence:** His arrival brings thunderclouds and arcing energy across the battlefield.

=== Foreshadowing ===
Lennithon’s servitude under the Cult is unsustainable. Whether through rebellion or release, his eventual defiance will reverberate through the campaign. His name will surface again — as either a reluctant ally or a vengeance-driven storm.

<details><summary>🧩 DM Notes (Spoilers)</summary>

'''Truth:''' Lennithon is bound to the Cult through an artifact fragment derived from the [[Forge of Spells]] in [[Wave Echo Cave]]. The same enchantment linking him to the cult ties the *Rise of Tiamat* campaign back to the *Phandelver Arc*.

'''Future Hooks:'''
* If freed, Lennithon may return as a neutral or even cooperative NPC, especially if appealed to by [[Keyleth Siannodel]] or other draconic scholars.
* His knowledge of Rezmir’s operations could provide key intelligence on the Cult’s hoard routes.
* Alternatively, his reemergence as a rogue storm dragon could create chaos for both the cult and the party.
