Ashnephos

One of the Dragons spawned from the divided athanc of Erdross is Ashnephos, regarded by the giants as the more rapacious and cruel of the pair, if also the less clever. Ashnephos is insane, but this insanity grants it periodic visions, which come to it as though instructions from its deceased sire. Ashnephos menaces the northern giants with particular enthusiasm and seems to find no greater joy than burning the flesh from their frames with its blighted breath. None know what plans Ashnephos has beyond obliterating Bemoth. It spends all its time engaged in one campaign or another against its ancient enemies. The giants, who were already suffering badly after the calamity that shattered eastern Immoren, blame Ashnephos for accelerating the withering of their species. Even after that disaster, the three great strands of giantkind stretched across the river valleys and circled the lake of the Suneater Mountains in myriad hardy tribes and villages that struggled against the elements for their survival. Despite triumphing over natural and unnatural forces alike, these lesser communities fell like wounded prey when Ashnephos descended upon them with fang and fire. The giants of Bemoth describe Ashnephos as equally beautiful and terrible. Its scales seem to shimmer like oiled steel in the sun, and its fangs gleam as brightly as polished silver blades. The roiling beauty of the dragon’s fire hypnotizes all who see it, and the dragon’s victims stand paralyzed with rapture even as their flesh boils away. The giants have many poems and songs about the deadly beauty of Ashnephos, all of which tell how those who witnessed its slaughters were unable to shake the memory and would find themselves longing for the beautiful death brought by this unrepentant wyrm.
