Xandria Welltran was a resident of Phlan that lived in the city and died some time during or before the late 15th century DR.[1] There was evidence that they were a member of, or otherwise associated with the first iteration of the Cult of the Dragon.[2][note 1]
History[]
Xandria was buried within the stone-and-marble Welltran Crypt in Valhingen Graveyard.[1]
At some point in the 1480s DR,[note 2] Brother Keefe and the Kelemvorite clerics of Phlan were offered some manner of evidence showing that Xandria was not in fact human but rather a green dragon that had been polymorphed.[1] This information originated from the Lords' Alliance from the far off Sword Coast region of western Faerûn. Phlan's thieves' guild, the Welcomers were also informed as well.[2]
Rumors and Legends[]
Xandria's crypt included oddities associated with dragonkind and the Cult of the Dragon. Notable among these were humanoid skeletons with dragon-shaped skulls, a secret door opened with gems representing the five types of chromatic dragons associated with the goddess Tiamat,[3] and cursed alchemical solutions that could reanimate the bones and flesh of draconic beings.[4]

Notes[]
- ↑ While not explicitly stated, allusions to the formation of dracoliches and use of chromatic dragon imagery associated with Tiamat (not to mention the theme of the Tyranny of Dragons Adventurers League storyline), suggest this character is associated with the Cult of the Dragon.
- ↑ 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.
