Fireblood was born in 212 AC. She hatched in a cave in the Khalkists, and her mother was awake after the Queen of Darkness' first call following the Cataclysm. Fireblood was the strongest and oldest wyrm among her siblings, and she made them respect her by force and by killing even her brothers and sisters who didn't obey her. She gathered more power as the years passed, and she left her cave to join the Red Dragonarmy in late 332 PC.

Fireblood lived in Sanction as the Dragonarmies increased their power and influence over the lands of Ansalon. She admired Ariakas but still saw his as a puny human. She was sure that giving so much power to a fragile human would ruin Her Queen's plans, and she proved herself right in the day Ariakas was killed by the Heroes of the Lance. She escaped from the Temple in Neraka and searched for shelter in the same cave she was born. She laid there until the call of another commander summoned her.

She respected Ariakan more than she ever regarded his father, the late Dragon Highlord Ariakas. She saw stength in the Knights of Takhisis, and she was one of the first red dragons to join a talon before the Summer of Chaos. Her talon conquered part of the Plains of Solamnia, and she was certain that this time Her Dark Majesty would rule over Ansalon. But Chaos stroke.

Fireblood was seriosly injured in a battle against fire dragons, and she once more looked for a safe haven to escape from the menace that endangered her life. When Takhisis summoned all chromatic dragons to the Rift, she refused to answer the call. She had trusted the Queen of Darkness and her commanders for long, but now she wasn't willing to sacrifice her life once more. The Second Cataclysm was over, and then she found herself away from her Queen. She tried to atone herself after her sin, but the Queen of Darkness was gone forever. She found herself without a reason in life until Malys arrived. She saw in Malys a powerful being and a crafty tactician, the leader she always looked for. She serves Malys without questions, especially because she knows she wouldn't be able to defeat her master.

Adventure Hook

Any group traveling the Desolation can encounter Fireblood. She usually acts as a scout, watching Malys' lands while her master is away. Fireblood can also assume the form of an injured kender to lure heroes into a deadly trap, or surprise them with an aerial attack.
