Miavryar

Maledict of the Mist
NPC

Miavryar is the ancient and formidable progenitor of the Mist Drake, creatures born of mist and shadow with an insatiable hunger for power. Once, Miavryar was not confined to the shadows and mists; he was a powerful dragon who resided in the Prime Plane. However, his lust for dominance and control led him down a dark path that ultimately resulted in his banishment.

Miavryar was once a loyal servant of Unknown, the god of life, who entrusted him with protecting the Vanir, the high elves of Aerenal, and the sacred Etherstone. However, Miavryar's envy and greed grew over time as he witnessed the Vanir's growing mastery of Ether-Rifting and their close connection to Helios. Believing himself more deserving of the power of the Etherstone, Miavryar plotted to overthrow the Vanir, slaughter them, and seize control of the Etherstone for his own nefarious ends. 

Mystera, the goddess of magic, learned of this trachery and acted swiftly. Miavryar and his kin were banished from the Prime Plane, cast into the Faewyld to live out their days as outcasts, far from the power and light they once served. This banishment imbued Miavryar with a deep-seated hatred for the Vanir, a resentment that has festered within him for millennia.

It wasn't until the Conjunction of the Realms that Miavryar returned to the prime plane, now residing in the treacherous mists that obscure the western shorelines of The Barren Badlands. His mist drake kin, like him, thrive in the fog and shadow, using their abilities to mislead, disorient, and prey upon those who wander too close to their lairs. 

Miavryar's deep hatred for the Vanir drives his every action. He dreams of the day he can exact his revenge upon Aerenal and Mystera. His fury has made him a feared entity, not just among mortals but also among other dragons, who are wary of his cunning and ruthlessness.

In his roiling hated, Miavryar's sought to obliterate the Corivilus people, ancient Fae-like beings who once resided in the Faewyld. In a brutal campaign, he nearly wiped out their entire race, leaving only a few survivors, such as Thantu and Zula. Miavryar’s cruel delight in hunting these beings further highlighted his vicious nature.

When The Sunsations, a band of formidable adventurers, discovered his lair during the Great Northern Voyage, they faced a deadly encounter with the ancient mist drake. Miavryar’s strength and cunning were nearly their undoing, but in a stroke of luck, Vander Greatoak, one of the group, managed to blind Miavryar in one eye. With his plans foiled and his lair collapsing around him, Miavryar retreated into the mist, disappearing once again into the shadows that have become his refuge.

However, Miavryar's hatred for the Vanir and his desire for revenge remain as potent as ever. He lurks in the mist, waiting for the right moment to strike, knowing that one day, he will rise again to reclaim the power he believes is rightfully his.

A Change of Heart

The Elden Hall

Miavryar, the ancient progenitor of the Mist Drake, had long harbored an unrelenting hatred for the Vanir of Aerenal, blaming them for his banishment and seeking vengeance upon their people. His wrath nearly culminated in a full-scale attack on Aerenal—until he was met with words instead of steel.

Guy the Grateful and Isilynor Faeren, a Vanir marine, talked down Miavryar as he ambushed their longship returning from treaty negotiations on The Immortal Isle. In a fateful exchange, Isilynor revealed the truth of The Riftfire Rebellion—a revelation that shattered Miavryar’s long-held assumptions. The Vanir of Aerenal had never taken part in the uprising against their draconic creators. Their hands were clean of the betrayal that had cast Miavryar and his kin into exile.

With his very purpose suddenly shaken, Miavryar relented, choosing to travel with Avatar Guy to The Elden Council rather than spill innocent blood. There, he vowed to assist Guy’s journey to Tolria, using his strength to help him reach the floating city of Thouran and the Magocracy that ruled it.

During his time in Aerenal, Miavryar was reunited with Goldbrand—Zirael the Ancient, the Archon of Air. Once, the two dragons had stood as kin before Miavryar’s dissapearence. Their long-lost connection, severed by pride and wrath, was rekindled. Zirael spoke not as an adversary, but as a brother, urging Miavryar to seek atonement rather than destruction.

Moved by these events, Miavryar stood before the Elden Council and made a solemn vow:

To turn from the path of vengeance, to right the wrongs he had wrought, and to seek redemption for the rage that had consumed him.
