Nymbryxion
The Great Silver Wyrm of the North. Nymbryxion is a Silver Dragon that has spent thousands of years among the chilly reaches of the northlands, in what is modern day Impiltur, Varaskien, and Kvasir. His lair during this time was likely on a frozen chunk of rock in the Sea of Black Ice, but he spent his time watching the burgeoning people and appearing in some fables, most often as the wizened sage, only once appearing as his magnificent true form.
The most renowned of the dragon's actions however came during The Convergence. As the world was flung into elemental chaos, the red dragon Vyin'denar made a show of power to assert his dominance over the Sea of Fallen Stars, to cull all dragon kind beneath his claws. During this time, the people of the Impilturian Peninsula rose up and challenged the mighty dragon, a conjoining of many races and creatures against the servants of the wyrm. With the arrival of Vyin'denar on the landscape, his wrath became known across hundreds of miles. Such a display couldn't go unnoticed nor unpunished, and during the height of the Convergence, Nymbryxion arrived to challenge his ancient foe.
Both dragons were of equal strength, and their clash was legendary. What won the day for the silver dragon however was his connection and faith in the other creatures of the world, namely the human hero known as Impilturas I. This day of heroes brought Vyin'denar to his knees, and subsequent burial beneath Calamity Peak. The Impilturian Empire was founded after this, with Nymbryxion a guiding force in the burgeoning nation, counseling the Emperors for several generations.
With the guidance of Nymbryxion, Impiltur flourished and expanded, most often peacefully as many peoples were drawn to the quality of life brought by the Empire. However, this wouldn't last forever, and selfishness and malice began to root among the Impilturian line, the purity wrought at the beginning diminishing. Still the dragon remained, holding court near Lyrabar, until the decision was made to expand to the southern lands across the sea, where the great realm of Sildeyuir held sway. The two empires came into conflict, and a great war raged between men and elves.
After 400 years of assistance and counsel, Nymbryxion abandoned Impiltur to its fate, and made his lair among the Earthspur Mountains. At the center of the expansive Glacier of the White Wyrm, a massive castle of ice was erected by dragon breath, building a spire to scrape the sky, and equally as deep. Here Nymbryxion has remained for nearly a thousand years, retiring from the world, holding the glacier as his personal realm.
It is said Nymbryxion shall return for no mortal, but is willing to give advice to those brave enough to challenge the relentless cold of his realm. However, action has left the old dragon, and only the cataclysmic return of Vyin'denar from his volcanic prison will spur the silver dragon to fly once more to combat the destructive evil of his ancient foe.
