Verithrax
Verithrax
Verithrax is an adult bronze dragon encountered by the party sunbathing on an iceberg in the Sea of Moving Ice.
Background
Verithrax is a metallic dragon who normally flies high above the Sea of Moving Ice. He is familiar with the region's inhabitants and dangers, including Arauthator (whom he fears) and Iskralathrax (whom he considers a bane). He is friends with Mick, a marid who patrols the same waters. He knows of Maccath the Crimson and her dragon research.
Personality
Verithrax is cautious but noble. He was genuinely impressed when the party showed him trophies from their dragon-slaying exploits — Vaartox the Red's scales and Iskralathrax's staff. He agreed to help guide the party but refused to approach Arauthator's territory, stating he is "terrified of the old guy." In human form, he is described as very attractive, causing several party members to swoon.
