Palasiraks was a red dragon daughter of the dracolich allied with the Cult of the Dragon, Pelendralaar, circa 1369 DR.[1]
Description[]
In her youth, while she dwelt with her undead father in Myth Drannor, Palasiraks was 17 feet (5.2 meters) long.[1]
Personality[]
Palasiraks had a cunning personality, valuing survival over mindless aggression. She was a capable diplomat, and a good liar. Her eyes glistened with malice.[3][1]
Abilities[]
Like other red dragons, Palasiraks was a flying creature. She utilized her mighty jaws, claws, and her tail in close combat. Her fire breath had a 40 feet (12 meters) range and she could see in the dark as far as 60 feet (18 meters). She also possessed blindsight of 200 feet (61 meters), keen senses, and like her kin, she was immune to fire, sleep, paralysis spells and effects.[1]
History[]
In 1369 DR, Kya Mordrayn and Palasiraks's and Marjon's father, Pelendralaar, led the Cult of the Dragon to occupy the ruined city of Myth Drannor. The cultists intended on using the raw magical power of the pool of radiance under the Castle Cormanthor to infect the cities in the Moonsea with the pool's corrupting soul-consuming magic and empower the dracolich by submerging him into the pool's depths.[3]
Palasiraks followed her father into Myth Drannor, and she laired in the Elven Catacombs connected to the subterranean levels of Castle Cormanthor. She could often be found not far from the chamber where the pool of radiance was located, and Pelendralaar's phylactery was kept,[3] standing guard in front of her father's underground lair.[2]
Soon after the resurrections of the corrupted pools, two independent groups of heroes found themselves opposing the cult. One of the groups managed to infiltrate Castle Cormanthor and destroy Pelendralaar's phylactery[4], allowing the other group, the Veiled Ones, to slay Palasiraks's father and defeat Kya Mordrayn. Palasiraks was alerted by the sounds of struggle echoing through the catacombs and peeked into the pool chamber. The young dragon hissed at the intruding adventurers, promising them Pelendralaar's vengeance and left conflict unscathed.[3][2]
Rumors and Legends[]
It was rumored that following the destruction of her undead father, Palasiraks embarked on a quest to find and slay the adventurers that were instrumental in the fall of Pelendralaar. The Veiled Ones and the adventurers that passed through the gate in Darnarest's tower were the targets of her hunt.[2]
