Appearance: The red dragon dives down from the clouds, landing atop the edge of the arid butte. His shoulders are powerful, deep red scales glinting in the blinding sunlight. He flexes his wings once, his nostrils smoking as he smells the air, and looks down toward the orc camp below. Satisfied, he spews gouts of sulfurous fire into the air before he folds his wings and disappears into his cavernous refuge.

​

Personality: The dragon Crannaughfax enjoys using his strength to overpower and dominate weaker creatures. Arrogant and spiteful, he is easily enraged when shown disrespect and rules entirely through brutality, fear, and intimidation. He alternately feels obsession and disdain toward other red dragons.

​

Motivation: How dare she exile me! I will prove to them how worthless they are. I will show them once and for all. My power will grow, nourished by harsh wastes, until I take my rightful place from them.

​

Roleplaying Tips: Crannaughfax is constantly angry, nourishing the wound to his ego since his mother cast him out of the pride. He is an alcoholic, drinking a powerful fermented liquid brewed by the orcs.

​

Background: The first thing Gwyraendring remembers are the corpses of his mother and clutchmates, slaughtered by the fierce dragon Crannaughfax. Gwyraendring escaped, settling deep in the forest above a human city. There he overwhelmed a goblin tribe, claiming their tunnel-ridden warren as his lair. The surviving goblins bring him whatever treasure and captives they can find for his growing hoard.

​

Dark Secret: Crannaughfax still receives messages from one of his clutchmates. Though he doesn’t know her reasons, she sends him news of the other red dragons, especially their mother.
