Having lost a wager to my Good friend Wiston the bard, I in payment do hereby write the following lore for whoever may find it years from now. His question "Who or what was the worst dragon I have ever heard of?" It made me think. No one in Lomar can claim more dragon kills that I, though that is argued among friends. But long have I studied the creatures and I can say that I know as much about dragon as I do my own skin.
Surely the first dragon that comes to mind is of course Blazergoth the Ancient red. Few in Lomar do not know of his Dragon armies decades ago? Nor can any who saw it ever forget the burning of Barthen. The town was decimated, and while it was eventually resettled. But I can say that Blazergoth, while indeed the worst of his kind is not the worst dragon.
If not Blazergoth then perhaps Brimstone, the immortal hellfire dragon some of you might say. All evidence I have seen leaves me to believe that he is not capable of dying truly unless he and his three wives are all killed at the same time. Each one draws their life force from another. Brimstone has surely killed many in his quest for dominance. but is he the worst? I would say no, because like Blazergoth, both have spawned something that does good in the world. For Blazergoth it was his half son Moriand, long may he be remembered for his deeds. For Brimstone, one must know that Drakesdale has had no truer friend than that of his wife Queen Iriene. Both of those beast however terrible as they are, they are what you would expect from them. They are the pinnacle of what their species would have them be but nothing more..
Nay, I say that the worst among dragonkind is neither Red, nor Blue, nor black, nor green, nor white. No, I tell you the worst of all dragonkind is Silvanias Kin slayer the silver. Ages past he was a hero to the world, a commander to those dragons who fought in the dragon war millennium ago. The war ended with the chromatic dragons all but beaten and for hundreds of years they hid from the glorious forces of Bahamut. Only decades ago it was Sylvanias that poisoned what good dragons remained and smashed clutches of the good dragons eggs. How many hundreds did he kill? It was he who threw the world out of balance and he is the reason there is no power to keep the chromatics in check save a good sword. Only he among them goes directly against the nature that the gods intended for him.
