Torthalindrarron

Torthalindrarron, or Torthal for short, was a steel dragon who lived on the continent of Arandron on Toril.

Relations
His mother was Malavauvrantarandra (Malavauvra), an ailing ancient wyrm, and his father was Phaudrantanthildrar (Phaudron), a withdrawn and focused scholar. Torthal was hatched in the same clutch as his sister Rauvrahrileenatandrar (Rauvrahreene), a ruthless and greedy sort, and his brother Velsaertirden. This was Malavauvra's final clutch, and the other siblings died as hatchlings or within their first year.

Lair
The family laired within the castle of Steelspires, which had been built for them by stone giants. It stood on a high, bare rocky ridge behind the bustling port city of Haunvaerune.

History
Of their mother's final clutch, only Torthal, Velsaert, and Rauvrahreene survived. They grew to become "dragonets", capable of taking human form and switching forms with ease, and explored the neighboring human city of Haunvaerune. But Torthal found the humans repulsive, especially in crowds, and had no interest in them or their cities.

One day, Torthal returned to Steelspires to speak with Phaudron and discovered his mother and father slain and his sister Rauvrahreene taking over the castle and filling it with dragon-slaying traps, one of which nearly killed him. Gloating, she openly admitted her guilt to her dying brother. Velsaertirden, also returning and overhearing this, attacked her, but in the chaos of battle, she escaped, injured but alive, while Torthal was obliterated.
