Vaeryss the Tempest-Wing
Vaeryss the Tempest-Wing was a blue dragon of immense power and cunning who carved a maritime dominion across the Dragon Sea during the height of the Draconic Age. Unlike many of her kin who hoarded gold and brooded atop mountain lairs, Vaeryss ruled from the sky and surf—commanding fleets of drake-prowed warships and coastal strongholds. Sailors whispered her name with reverence and dread, for storms were said to follow in her wake, and entire islands bent the knee to her banner after witnessing her fury made flesh. She wove alliances with sea giants, enslaved thunderbirds, and shaped weather itself to keep her foes off balance.
Her legacy lives not only through blood, but through her doctrine—"Strength is found in the storm, not the stillness." Vaeryss established rites of power and succession still honored by House Velostra, and her bones, or at least what are believed to be her bones, are said to be buried beneath Stormrest Keep. Whether a tyrant, protector, or something in between, Vaeryss remains a towering mythic figure among storm-blooded Dragonborn, invoked in times of crisis and change, when only thunder will answer.
