Dragonslayer (tribe)

The Dragonslayers were a tribe of lizardfolk dwelling in the Vast Swamp of Cormyr. As their name told, they claimed to have slain a number of dragons.

Base of Operations
The Dragonslayers had territory on the central eastern side of the Vast Swamp, where it flanked the Thunder Peaks.

Relationships
Around 1367 DR, Dragonslayers territory lay south of the lands of the Darkstar orc tribe.

History
The Dragonslayers tribe was known to live in the Vast Swamp around 1367 DR.

They had claimed the credit for slaying several black dragons over the decades. The last kill they claimed was of Tyra (last recorded alive in 1373 DR ). The victorious Dragonslayers then moved into her lair.

However, Tyra's brother Despayr had a dream of her death to the Dragonslayers, and of her unguarded hoard. Following his visions, Despayr came to Tyra's lair, massacred many of the lizardfolk, and enslaved the survivors. He then took her lair and hoard as his own, before he was visited by Esvele Graycastle, who retrieved from the treasure the shadow shard. With this, Despayr transformed the lizardfolk slaves into the first of the undead Shadowscales. The Dragonslayers were no more.
