AURINAX

Aurinax is a male adult gold dragon who can freely

ignore Ahghairon s dragonward (see "Ahghairon's Drag-

onward," page 6) and reside in the city. Maaril, the

archmage who last wielded the dragonslaff of Ahghai-

ron, was Aurinax's friend, and invited the dragon to stay

with him in the city's Dragon Tower. Shortly before the

Spellplague, Maaril went mad and left Waterdeep. en-

trusting the dragonstaff of Ahghairon to Aurinax. (See

appendix A for information on the dragonstaff.)

When Dagult Neverember became the Open Lord

of Waterdeep, he cut a deal with the dragon. Under its

terms, Aurinax could keep the dragonstaff of Ahghairon

in exchange for guarding a vault beneath the city. When

Neverember eventually removed the treasure from

the vault, Aurinax and the dragonstaffcould return to

the Dragon Tower. As it happens, no one has come to

remove the treasure, and the faithful Aurinax has re-

mained in the vault. The vault is warded against scrying

magic, and there's no one left in Waterdeep who knows

about Aurinax or the whereabouts of the dragonstaff.

GAME STATISTICS

Aurinax is an adult gold dragon. He often assumes the

form of an elderly gold dwarf named Barak Clangham-

mer. who uses the dragonstaff as a walking stick.
