History

Aerosclughpalar was tasked by his king to protect the Tall Trees area of the High Forest, but despite fighting off invaders and fires, the forest became infested with disease and shortages of food.

When bolts of lightning from Talos (the Storm Lord) and orc hordes invaded at the same time, some time prior to 1344 DR, Aerosclughpalar was unable to stop the devastation, and the fires burned for weeks. Aerosclughpalar was injured during this event and retired to his lair to sleep and recover. He awoke to find that the forest had recovered and was vibrant with life, and he pledged to himself to locate the individual or individuals responsible for this.

Aerosclughpalar came across the Grand Druid of the North of Mielikki, Sinklayr Greenstroke, who was burning a tree, but when he challenged Sinklayr, an argument broke out, and Aerosclughpalar eventually acquiesced, agreeing to serve Sinklayr for over two centuries and compare the results. Sinklayr had Aerosclughpalar get rid of the weak and dying, allowing the strong and healthy to take their place, and allowed predators to enter the woods. At the end of this time, the forest had remained in a flourishing state.

According to By Gilded Fire, a parable by Mintiper Moonsilver, Aerosclughpalar said:

“Guarded like a dragon's hoard,
A forest doth expire.
Life reborn and enduring,
Is wrought by gilded fire.”


Aerosclughpalar joined the Circle of the Forestarm, a druid organization of Mielikki, assuming human form to avoid revealing his true identity, which was probably only known by Sinklayr Greenstroke and Uthgang Jyarl, and a few other gold and silver dragons. He is tipped to succeed Uthgang as Great Druid of the North.

Mintiper Moonsilver met Aerosclughpalar during Mintiper's journey south through the High Forest.
