# Azdraka
*Green Dragon, Terrorizer of the High Road | None | [[Dragon Barrow]] (deceased)*
## Summary
[[01 Player Wiki/05 Gods of the Realms/Azdraka]] was a green dragon whose reign of terror long plagued the High Road and [[Thundertree]] during the early days of the settlement. As a typical green dragon, she delighted in corruption, manipulation, and the suffering of those who dared to travel through her territory. Her predations threatened the very survival of [[Thundertree]] and made the High Road a dangerous passage for merchants and travelers. [[01 Player Wiki/05 Gods of the Realms/Azdraka]]'s terrorizing of the region eventually drew the attention of [[Palien of Neverwinter]], the legendary hero who would become her nemesis.
[[01 Player Wiki/05 Gods of the Realms/Azdraka]] met her end in an epic battle against [[Palien of Neverwinter]], who wielded the [[Dracoslayer]] sword in a final, heroic charge. Though [[Palien of Neverwinter|Palien]]'s blade delivered the killing blow, the dragon's claws claimed his life as well, making their battle a mutual destruction that ended both their stories. [[01 Player Wiki/05 Gods of the Realms/Azdraka]] was buried at [[Dragon Barrow]] alongside her slayer, with the [[Dracoslayer]] embedded in her skull. When the heroes came to claim the sword, her ghost manifested from the cold mist rising from her remains, expressing anger at the disturbance of her rest. However, [[Petra]]'s intimidating speech—backed by the many souls within her—frightened the ghostly dragon into fleeing, allowing [[Reese]] to claim his destined weapon.
