Venaleth (also known as "Mr. V") was a powerful Amethyst Dragon who lurked in Quelmar for millennia, biding his time and waiting to rejoin the fight when his ancient leader, Sardior, had returned to the realm.
History[edit | edit source]
Heading Katharda[edit | edit source]
Venaleth was the headmaster of Katharda Academy, where he looked over many students and staff members, including the admiral Professor Wright.
While in The Underdark, he also positioned himself (and perhaps built the academy on) a gate to The Feywild, which he was sworn to protect.
Rumors on the Surface[edit | edit source]
Not wanting Feredemius or Bleucorundum or any of his former "Colleagues" of the court to know he was working in secret, he would strictly go by the name "Mr. V". The few who knew or learned his name were often sworn to secrecy or magically muted after Venaleth took their voices, such as the wizard Tragdor.
When first encounted by the curious heroes of the Greedy Green, he was found working on some sort of portal or gate, whose purpose remains unknown. He didn't reveal his true self to them, but was able to convince the hero Silythm Shadeheart to aid him in the Underdark on other matters related to drow and raiders on his campus.
Rejoining the Fight[edit | edit source]
Venaleth was a participant in The Battle of Five Lights, after the Ruby Court's return, Venaleth retired from his post with the academy, ascending with his new companions to higher purpose.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Some suspect him to be the father of the Amethyst wyrmling in the possession of Harold, as no other male amethyst dragons have been seen in Isonhound. If that's true, did he come to the surface for a fling with the amethyst dragon secretly living in Fallhorn City?
