Legends on wings, the Storm Guardians are reputed to be a clan of blue dragons that calls the tallest peak in Adar home. Many believe these majestic beasts are responsible for the storms that plague and defend Adar. Adarans imagine that a draconic heart beats at the center of every thunderhead that blows over the land of refuge. Those Adarans are close to correct.
In some ways like Rhashaak, the fiend-tainted black dragon who guards the ruins of Haka'torvhak in Q'barra, the Storm Guardians might be mythic figures, but they are real. They, however, have not been corrupted by their time in Adar or Korrandar. Concerned with the protection of a realm shaped long ago by dragon and couatl magic, the Storm Guardians watch from above and below. They count among their number dragon turtles (MM 88) and sea drakes (Fiend Folio 147) that stalk the oceans around Adar. (Such sea dragons often attack any flotilla that contains more than a few ships.) Most of these dragons are aloof from mortal concerns, but their hold in Korrandar contains what could be considered the soul of Adar—the Teeth of the Three (see page 142).
The rakshasa rajah imprisoned in Khyber shards under Ada r sleeps restlessly. It is wrath incarnate. The rakshasas name it Ran Iishiv, the Unmaker, and one could suppose that the Teeth of the Three are in place to keep it quiescent. This isn't true, however, because the dragons would have other such devices to quiet other great rajahs. The truth is that the dragons foresaw a time when Adar would serve as more than the prison of a great fiend.
The Storm Guardians live by their duty to guard Korrandar, and they are content to be legendary. While some folk near Korrandar have built shrines to the Storm Guardians and even lay valuables within as prayers for peace, the Guardians do not truck with mortals. Those who climb Korrandar are rarely seen again. Though the current Speaker of the Word is a survivor of such a trek, he does not speak about it, like other similar persons from Adar's history.
Getting the PCs Involved: One does not trifle with dragons. Still, a problem that can't be solved by mortal magic might require the characters to make a treacherous ascent into Korrandar's storm clouds to ask the Storm Guardians for aid.
Though silent on the subject, Chanaakar is actually on the lookout for adventurers who will fulfill the next part of the draconic Prophecy in Adar. These intrepid explorers, he knows, will uncover secrets of the dragons and couatls among the ruins that still riddle Adar. Through hints and general wisdom, Chanaaka r can guide such individuals, and they might discover a way to defend Adar better than it is now.
Argunastrisek is a mature adult blue dragon who seeks and punishes those who violate ancient draconic sites. She does so by drawing explorers to her, being particularly murderous toward mere treasure hunters. However, those on a righteous path set by Chanaakar and the Storm Guardians might be able to persuade her to help. She is curious about upright mortals even though she is lawful neutral. Securing her aid can be one of the challenges the Storm Guardians actually set for the PCs before allowing them onto Korrandar.
