Smargad

❌

Smargad was a great wyrm emerald dragon and a thane of the gem dragon god Sardior.

Abilities
Smargad possessed all the common powers of emerald dragons and was a master of psionics, focusing on clairsentience. In particular, he knew the powers domination, hypnosis, and teleportation and all the psionic attacks (mind thrust, ego whip, id insinuation, psychic crush, mind blast) and defenses (empty mind, thought shield, mental barrier, intellect fortress, tower of iron will).

As a thane, Smargad had a continuous mental contact with Sardior and could be used for his remote viewing, though he could choose to block it.

Activities
Smargad and the other thanes normally resided within Sardior's Ruby Palace as part of his court, but on occasion would wander a world of the material plane alone. Creatures that earned his favor might be rewarded with gems, or sometimes some other gift or favor. He represented a certain facet of Sardior's personality.

On worlds where Sardior was worshiped, some 10% of later temples to him were dedicated to Smargad. At these temples, lesser in size and overlooked places, Smargad was revered by the faithful and served as the messenger and conduit of their faith. They attracted psions specializing in clairsentence. There were also small shrines alongside major Sardioran churches in larger cities. Followers of Smargad were called Smargadians.

Relationships
Smargad served Sardior as his thane, alongside fellow thanes the amethyst dragon Aleithilithos, the crystal dragon Hrodel, the sapphire dragon Charisma, the topaz dragon Tithonnas, and the destroyed obsidian dragon Seradess.
