Throstulgrael, or "Velvet", was a young male black dragon who laired in the Flooded Forest in the lands of the Moonsea and the Vast in north Faerûn.[4][1]

History[]

By 1369 DR, Velvet was waging a feud with the much older green dragon Malachite, who lived in the forests south of Mulmaster. Velvet sought to move in on Malachite's territory.[4][5]

Velvet still lived by 1374 DR.[1]

In 1489 DR, Throstulgrael tried to enslave the lizardfolk tribes of Twilight Marsh near Phlan,[6] but his plot was ruined by some adventurers.[7] The black dragon also captured the skilled drow assassin Yusten Karas, who was forced to work for him. Later that year, he was confronted by an adventuring party sent to recover some items from the dragon's lair but when he seemed to have been killed, he mysteriously resurrected as a dracolich and flew away.[2]

Allies[]

In the 14th century, Velvet was supported by a Cult of the Dragon cell based near either Calaunt or Kurth. Though not particularly large or powerful, the cell was well organized and its members were close-knit. They feuded with Malachite's own Cult cell.[4][5]

Relationship[]

In Twilight Marsh, he had one half-dragon son: Graxxygak.[8]

Notes[]

  • Cult of the Dragon places Velvet in the Flooded Forest and Malachite in the woods of south Mulmaster, but Dragons of Faerûn's "Roll Call of Dragons" switches their locations, likely in error. This article uses the original locations.
