Chavux is a green dragon who lairs among the northern islands of the Blades and preys on the shipping that threads the strait below. He is wild and unbonded—nothing like the war-dragons the Nagashi once rode and lost at the Severing—but he is sacrosanct exactly as they were. The Naga of Adron hold all dragonkind in trust to the dragon-father Nagatayora and will kill none of them, and so the kingdom endures his raids rather than answer them. Greyport, which suffers worst from his appetite, would pay well to see the problem quietly solved; in Adron the attempt would still be sacrilege.
