	Vaartox the Red was an ~~ancient~~ red dragon and founding member of the [[Ashen Covenant]], a group of five chromatic dragons allied with the [[Cult of the Dragon]].		''"Ash falls where he walked, but the truth he died with may still burn brighter."''

			—Unknown archivist, Candlekeep

			'''Vaartox the Red''' was an '''adult red dragon''' and founding member of the [[Ashen Covenant]], a group of five chromatic dragons allied with the [[Cult of the Dragon]].

			=== Origins ===
			Vaartox hatched from the bloodline of '''Tazrith the Ember-Wyrm''', an ancient red dragon who once served as Tiamat's personal flame-bearer. Eager to carve his place in the hierarchy of the Cult of the Dragon, Vaartox joined the [[Ashen Covenant]] as a young dragon, representing one of [[Tiamat]]'s five heads.

			His most infamous act was his role in the '''Destruction of Narthalas''', a Glimmerwood village tied to a fey prophecy. During the assault, Vaartox personally burned the forest home of [[Keyleth]], a future member of the [[Emerald Enclave]], mistakenly believing her slain.

	=== Background ===		=== Background ===
	Vaartox the Red was one of the most powerful red dragons in the Sword Coast region. He allied with four other chromatic dragons to form the Ashen Covenant, pledging their service to the [[Cult of the Dragon]] and [[Tiamat]].

Vaartox the Red was one of the most powerful red dragons in the Sword Coast region. He allied with four other chromatic dragons to form the [[Ashen Covenant]], pledging their service to the [[Cult of the Dragon]] and [[Tiamat]]. The five dragons coordinated their efforts to support the cult's plan to summon Tiamat back to the Material Plane.

			The Ashen Covenant was tasked with eliminating individuals, bloodlines, and sacred sites prophesied to one day oppose the rise of Tiamat.

			=== Final Encounter and Death ===
			In [[Session 38 - Now We Have a Hoard]], Vaartox was encountered in the '''Tomb of [[Veylan Duskbane]]''', where he had made his lair. [[Veylan Duskbane\|Veylan]]'s spirit had trapped the dragon within using the tomb's residual magic.

			Following [[Keyleth]]'s pixie swarm, the party engaged in a fierce battle with the adult red dragon in the tomb of the legendary dragon hunter. The combat was intense, with Vaartox demonstrating the terrifying power of an adult red dragon's breath weapon and physical prowess.

			Among those who fought him were:
			* [[Keyleth]] – Orphaned ranger of Narthalas, whose family Vaartox had killed
			* [[Xanphina]] – Descendant of the [[Skarhald Clan]]

	~~=== Role in Campaign ===~~		Weakened and outnumbered, Vaartox attempted to bargain for his life by offering information on the [[Ashen Covenant]]. In his final moments, Vaartox revealed critical intelligence about the Ashen Covenant, including the identity of one of the other members: [[Tharzyzzul the Black]]. His confession reshaped the hunt for cult-aligned dragons and exposed buried histories long thought lost.
