The Scaly Death were a lizardfolk tribe in the Mere of Dead Men on the Sword Coast North in the late 15th century DR.[1]

History[]

In the 1480s DR,[note 1] the bullywug leader Pharblex Spattergoo killed the leader of the Scaly Death,Suncaller, and destroyed the tribe's self-esteem in the process. Afterward, the lizardfolk entered into service to the Cult of the Dragon at Castle Naerytar. However, the Cult had also allied with bullywugs and they tormented the Scaly Death to no end, because in the alliance that the Cult made with the two groups, they gave the bullywugs the better end of the deal. However, the Scaly Death had an ally in the form of Dralmorrer Borngray, who took care of the castle where the cult operated, and paid the lizardfolk in steel weapons.[1]

Notes[]

  1. Canon material does not provide a year for the Tyranny of Dragons storyline, but in a forum post, Greg Marks stated it was set in 1489 DR. However, the events of the Tyranny of Dragons are discussed in the novel Archmage, which is set in 1485/1486 DR and has events that necessarily put it after The Rise of Tiamat. Since this inconsistency has not been cleared up, this wiki will use the vague term "1480s DR" for events related to this storyline, though it is most likely no latter than 1486 DR.
