Background: Xyraxis is a malevolent and ancient black dragon who has terrorized northeastern Zyricus for centuries. With scales as dark as midnight and green eyes that gleam with malice, he commands fear and respect from all who dwell in his domain. Xyraxis revels in chaos and destruction, delighting in the suffering of lesser beings. He has amassed a horde of treasure beyond imagination, stolen from those foolish enough to cross his path. Malachar the Scalebound serves him faithfully, carrying out his dark will and furthering his reign of terror across the land.
