Tr̈aaghak Khaagachoozgeook
Tr̈aaghak , Khaagchioozgeook ("Venom Spreader") (a.k.a. Nîrumîto Nereymjeny)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
In both her orcish form and her true form, Tr̈aaghak appears small and frail compared to others of her kind. However, this is misleading. Although she is petite, she is neither weak nor unhealthy. In fact, she is significantly more resilient than most dragons of her type and age.
Body Features
In her orcish form, known as Nîrumitô, she has a slight build and a short stature, giving her a gaunt appearance. Her eyes are a striking amber, and her brows arch menacingly above them. She wears her green-black hair oiled and shoulder-length, brushed back away from her face. Although her pale skin appears lined with age, this is merely superficial, as she is quite young for a dragon.
In her draconic form, she is quite small for an adult dragon, resembling more of an adolescent in size despite having fully matured. The scales on her back are glossy and a rich lincoln green. She has a tall, leathery, webbed crest that is a translucent pale green. The scales on her sides are a greenish-yellow, while her belly scales are a vibrant lemongrass color. Her wings are dappled with patches of lemongrass, brown, and tan.

Personal history
Tr̈aaghak hatched spontaneously from an egg buried beneath the earth of the Dragonblight for centuries. For two decades, she survived in a feral state as a wyrmling and young dragon. Around twelve years after her birth, awareness and knowledge came to her, though the source of that knowledge is uncertain. At this time, she began to scheme and grow in the same ways as others of her type.
In the early fifteenth century, she grew tired of the arid badlands of Dragonblight and decided to journey south in search of a more suitable home for a dragon of her kind. Eventually, she arrived at a small, swampy forest in the Æmy region. Enveloping herself in magic, she explored the area and discovered a rocky promontory that jutted out from the brackish waters. Carefully, she carved a cave entrance into the stone, just below the waterline, creating a lair for herself.
Once she established her stronghold, she set out to explore the surrounding area. Nearby, she discovered several tribes of Skogsalver, whom she found fascinating. She manipulated some of their warriors, deceiving them into becoming her slaves. She also found an orcish village called Tîzhu. Recognizing the opportunity to collect treasure and people for her hoard, she disguised herself as an orcish woman and approached the village during Cansidas Hiagarnas in 1406 LE.
She quickly ingratiated herself with the orcs, patiently weaving stories among them that allowed simmering jealousies and feuds to surface while subtly stoking tensions behind the scenes. This strategy eventually led her to gain control of Tîzhu, where she has ruled for the past five years from a small, unassuming apothecary hut just outside the village boundary. Most days, she remains in her hut, preparing toxic poisons that she uses to maintain control over both her orcish subjects and her elvish captives, who also reside in the village. She only returns to her lair occasionally to deposit particularly valuable treasures.
The villagers have become well aware of her true nature, but they are powerless to stand against her.
Gender Identity
Education
The wyrm gained her education through a mysterious and profound epiphany in her youth, acquiring extensive knowledge of history, arcana, and religion. She is fluent in Calpian, Orcish, Draconic, and Elvish.
Employment
Though she doesn't know her benefactor's identity, she serves Puava as if the Husk was a patron to her. She recognizes this otherworldly influence as the source of her education and knowledge, and even a vain and evil dragon like herself is not without gratitude when rescued from a bestial and feral existence.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Tr̈aaghak has eliminated the Skogsalver of her forest, save for two male warriors and a female bard, whom she keeps as her treasures (slaves) in Tîzhu.
Intellectual Characteristics
The dragon is clever, cunning, and a master of schemes. She prefers to engage in battles of wits and charm rather than relying on brute strength. She extensively employs stealth, deception, and persuasion to reach her goals, resorting to physical violence only as a last resort when other methods have failed.
Morality & Philosophy
Tr̈aaghek is dedicated to three main principles: loyalty to Rogiq, service to Puava, and the advancement of her own personal interests. She will never betray Rogiq or Puava; their word is absolute law for her. All other considerations are secondary to her compulsions to control, manipulate, and acquire.
