The Omnivangelist

Ryven Cedrylle 26 July 2010 DnD, RPG No Comment

Deep beneath the surface, in a natural cavern surrounding a henge of arcane power where ley lines meet, lies Q’Riyr, the Thorn Dragon.  Left to guard this location until the she-demon who titled him with it returns, this massive beast generally sleeps peacefully on a bed of low-growing ground cover and shrubs.  A pool of water surrounded by a natural earthen ring feeds the plants, though if one is very quiet and careful, he or she might notice the root structure sprouted from the dragon’s tail into the earth as well.  When roused to defend his charge, however, his bellow animates the very bushes and vines that decorate his subterranean home into a maelstrom of slashing, spiky danger.
