Svanearl (Ss-van-earl)

Scalamagdrions
https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Scalamagdrion
Though looking like a normal Scalamagdrion, one would be surprised to notice the dense muscle and well trained acrobatics of Svanearl. A dragon once described as "The Fist that stopped a King", Svanearl stands no taller then 12ft and just as long. His wings are noted to be quite shredded from ages of combat. And though he is believed to be older then any current dragonlord, it is actually unknown how old Svanearl is.

Temperament

Svanearl is known to be a intellectual who seems to prefer talking to fighting. Noting that he can be commonly found amongst a large pile of magical tomes that he reads yet cannot understand. Preferring discussions of magic and history, Svanearl is noted as the least dangerous of the Apex monsters. Primarily due to his lack of interest in violence, a dragon who prefers to learn and train makes for a poor "Apex" beast. Though do not let this give you false confidence, as Svanearl is as great a fighter as he is an educator, having masters the art of Fist. He stands as the only dragon not willing to submit to Mov'Asi and having managed to stay independant his entire rule.

History

Though from an age before writing and even the collective of pyrus having come to the continent. Svanearl is one of the few dragons that had his early years well documented by visitors and those who enjoyed his company. Though to tell you the entirety of it would take four more books then the collection was permitted. Thus the short end of it will have to do, Svanearl was born in Crakec during the first years of Mov'Asi's predecessor. He would spend his early years traveling and learning of the younger races and there magic, even mastering the forgotten magic of the Fist. Though that would be destroyed upon Svanearl's leaving of the dark continent or so the rumors would go. For as he would spend the first hundred or so years traveling he would accidently find himself one day stuck in a new land as his wings would be sundered from a wild Tempesthoofed Headbutt said to have been the size of a small city. As Svanearl landed it is said he would have to spend the next part of his life trying to survive on the continent, "getting lucky for those close to death were easier targets" as he summed it up to. It would be only when Mov'Asi would take power that Svanearl would manage to return with the strange help of an elven man that called himself Svanearl's "Greatest Disciple". And though the apex monster would find himself quite weakened, somehow the creature was said to have awoken a power that no other dragon in the world had as of writing. The true title of Dragon Lord. Though he currently spends his days healing and recovering from the harrowing experience, all should fear for what this creature will become once his heart has adapted and his bodies returns.
