Galvan, or
Galvan the White, is the current White Wyrmspeaker of the
Cult of the Dragon and one of the two leaders of the
Cult of the Dragon Civil War.
History
In the 1480's, Galvan was a member of the
Cult of the Dragon during
Don Rel's reformations. Though he personally believed the cult's true purpose involved the creation of dracoliches, as it had been under
Naergoth Bladelord, Galvan was nevertheless loyal to the Dragon Cult. As part of an olive branch extended to the traditionalists, Galvan was the made the White Wyrmspeaker and
Naergoth Bladelord, the cult's former leader, was made the Black Wyrmspeaker.
On the 2nd of Marpenoth, 1492, Galvan was assigned to protect the
Aethercore, alongside his personal iron golem, during the
Battle at the Well of Dragons. He was approached by the
Breadwinners, who were already battered and bloody from fighting up multiple stories and killing
Naergoth Bladelord. Galvan, knowing how capable the
Breadwinners were, assuming
Bladelord was dead since the
Draakhorn silenced, and losing faith in
Don Rel's leadership, offered the adventurers a deal. He would leave the
Well of Dragons unharmed and, in exchange, wouldn't aid in the ritual to summon
Tiamat. The
Breadwinners agreed to his terms. Galvan fled the
Well of Dragons, safely making his way out before the cult became overwhelmed.
Following the
Great Dragon War, Galvan began mobilizing the surviving members of the
Cult of the Dragon back into performing their original purpose: creating dracoliches. However, Galvan was opposed by High Marshall
Amara, the only other surviving Wyrmspeaker from the battle, who believed in
Don Rel's reforms but thought the cult needed to move into more subversive methods. Galvan and
Amara clashed repeatedly until their disagreement broke out into a
civil war between the two factions. As of today, there appears to be no clear outcome to the conflict.
