![[ClaugNew.webp]] # Claugiyliamatar _Ancient Green Dragon | [[Emerald Coalition]] | [[Kryptgarden Forest]]_ ## Summary "Old Gnawbone"—an ancient green dragon who infiltrated Waterdeep as noblewoman [[Sybille Artisane]] and formed the [[Emerald Coalition]] opposed to [[Remi Haventree]]'s democratic reforms. Her plot to attack the city with [[Thundertree]]'s Abyssal energy was exposed by the heroes and [[Order of the Gilded Eye]], resulting in her offspring [[Venomfang]]'s death and [[Klauth]] stealing her city-destroying bomb. Now she terrorizes the Trade Way and sends green porcelain masks to Remi's allies—death marks from Old Gnawbones that serve as both threat and promise. %% ## Now Hunting [[Reese]] for [[Venomfang]]'s death — a target [[Iymrith]] fed her while wearing [[Lyrielle Storm]]'s face. She infiltrated [[Bryn Shander]] in human form, then revealed herself and nearly killed Reese, [[Viro]], and [[Petra]] with acid breath before Petra taunted her with a bow of Venomfang's bones. Wounded, she teleported away. ## Appearance Enormous green dragon whose scales shimmer like polished emeralds shot through with darker veins. Golden eyes burn with calculating malevolence. Recent battles have left fresh scars she views as marks of humiliation. As Lady Sybille Artisane, she appeared as an elegant woman with perfectly coiffed silver hair and piercing green eyes. ## Personality Deep, velvety voice with underlying menace. Prone to sudden rage when discussing the Order of the Gilded Eye or Klauth. Frequently checks multiple scrying devices. Cunning, paranoid, obsessively vengeful with newfound caution born from failure. Centuries-long obsession with powerful women and political manipulation. Operates from Deeping Cave with a scrying network. Served by the [[Scaled Legion]] dragonborn and [[Gnawbones]] kobolds under Queen [[Krezia]]. Allied with [[Iymrith]] through intelligence sharing. Unlike most dragons who sought only wealth, she harbors an obsessive fascination with powerful human and elven women—a fixation that drove her desire to immerse herself in city politics. ## Quote _"Patience, like poison, is most lethal when perfectly distilled. My revenge will be worth the wait—and when it comes, they will wish they had died at Thundertree."_ ## Background **Old Gnawbone:** For centuries, terrorized lands between Westwood and Kryptgarden Forest. Earned her nickname from her habit of gnawing corpses during flight. Signature tactic: dropping merchant wagons onto Waterdeep from terrifying heights. **The Lair:** Deeping Cave features an intricate scrying network monitoring events across the Realms. The Scaled Legion—dragonborn mercenaries who failed to steal from her hoard—now serve as elite guards. The Gnawbones kobolds under Queen Krezia elevated their service to religious devotion. **The Infiltration:** Using magic from [[Iymrith]], she infiltrated Waterdeep as Lady Sybille Artisane. Built the Emerald Coalition from conservative nobles opposed to Open Lord Remi Haventree's reforms. Her plot involved harnessing Abyssal energy at Thundertree for a false flag attack designed to discredit Remi and grant the Coalition emergency powers. **The Defeat:** The Order of the Gilded Eye uncovered her machinations at Thundertree. Venomfang died. Klauth stole the Abyssal Bomb. Iymrith (disguised as Vajra Safahr) destroyed her Coalition mansion to eliminate evidence. She retreated to plot anew—and unleashed a devastating attack on Helm's Hold as revenge. ## Stats **Ancient Green Dragon** (MM 93).
