Special

History

The Starlit Dragon is a unique Chaos Dragon. It wiped out an entire contingent of knights, leaving few survivors. The leader of the knights, Lord Stoddard, tried to put together a plan to stop the dragon.

The dragon was going to attack the city of Aramus, but knew that there were some survivors. The dragon waited until Stoddard and his bronze dragon Razer reached the city.

The ambush was perfect. The Starlit Dragon blended into the night sky. Stoddard and Razer never knew what hit them.

Liam of Eldor, the son of Huma, appeared on the scene shortly thereafter. Liam transformed into a half-human, half-draconic state and slayed the Starlit Dragon using a dragonlance, but at the cost of his own life.

Additional Info

The Starlit Dragon was a unique Chaos Dragon. It is not known how it relates to Chaos, or if it had a special mission.
