Vestapalk

Rousted from his lair in the Cairngorm Peaks by dark visions, the green dragon Vestapalk and his kobold wyrmpriest companion are bound by what they believe to be a common destiny.
Stretching twenty-five feet from tail to toothy maw, with a wingspan to match, the great dragon Vestapalk is a fearsome sight to behold. As an adult green dragon, Vestapalk has rough scales that range in color from emerald to viridian, though their luster is muted and flat. The inner scales on the wyrm’s left forelimb are scarred with long, even lines—nine deep slashes from wrist to elbow. These marks denote kills of worthy opponents in Vestapalk’s estimation, nearly all of them fortune-seeking adventurers.
Like many of his kind, Vestapalk prefers the flesh of sentient mammalian prey. The great wyrm has traditionally feasted upon the orcs of the Stonemarch to satiate his appetite, but in recent years, Vestapalk has widened his hunting grounds to include the wilderlands south of the Cairngorm Peaks. These increasingly frequent incursions have spread much fear among Winterhaven’s populace.
The Vision: For most of his life, Vestapalk was content to lair and hunt in the wilderness of the Cairngorm Peaks, with little thought to greater conquests or glory. This pattern changed a few months back when the green wyrm received his first prophetic vision. During a trance, Vestapalk witnessed himself as the subject of worship and adulation by a tribe of green-scaled kobolds. Intrigued by the notion, Vestapalk set out to test his vision. Most kobold tribes he encountered fled before his awesome might, but the Greenscale tribe did not. Its leader, a wyrmpriest named Tiktag, had received a vision similar to Vestapalk’s. As time passed, the green dragon’s visions took on greater and greater significance, and Vestapalk has become obsessed with finding new signs and omens. The dragon believes that the Elder Eye has looked upon him and blessed him for greatness.
Greenscale Tribe: The kobolds of the Greenscale tribe have long hunted in the wilderness north of Winterhaven, competing for limited resources against rival tribes and roving bands of goblins. Their fortunes have risen considerably since the arrival of Vestapalk, whom the kobolds venerate as their god. Under Vestapalk’s protection, the Greenscales now control much of the hunting grounds along the King’s Road, from Winterhaven to Lake Wintermist.
Tiktag: As the tribe’s leader and prophet, Tiktag works tirelessly to raise the standing of the Greenscales. Above all else, he wants to have other races fear him as they fear Vestapalk. Before the tribe came under the wing of Vestapalk, Tiktag’s divinations were often muddled and confused. Now when the wyrmpriest tosses his bone fragments, he is amazed at the clarity and relevance of each divination performed at Vestapalk’s request. These miracles and others have convinced Tiktag that something momentous will come of his relationship with the green dragon. Though neither would scarcely admit it, a close bond has formed between Vestapalk and Tiktag; the dragon and wyrmpriest are seldom encountered apart. Vestapalk even allows Tiktag to ride on his shoulders, rather than risk danger by traveling overland.
