Atheron, The Last Great Dragon of Alyndor
Atheron was the Golden Scourge of Alyndor, the last great dragon whose wings darkened the capital and whose breath broke stone, sky, and sacred memory. Born of Galradyn’s ancient blood, he fell in fire beneath the wrath of Maerion Valenross, the Ashen Hunters, and the Radiant Dawn — yet his death did not end his shadow, for the Griefwound still smolders where his body struck, and Alyndor still remembers the day the sky died.
