Arga the Green (DnD5e)

A new NPC I created and painted for my DnD Campaign - Chronicles of Cristerra (CoC).

Arga was a proud gold dragon of the metallic dragonflight. She oversaw diplomacy for the flight, engaging in near daily philosophical and political debates with mortals, denizens of the elemental plane of air, celestial and so on.

On one tenuous occasion, Arga was assigned to be head diplomat to an incredibly controversial temporary alliance Between the metallic and chromatic flights.

Faluzure had amassed power far beyond his station, power that neither Bahamut nor Tiamat could deal with alone. Begrudgingly the two polar opposite factions agreed to meet to put a stop to Faluzure and his tide of undeath.

In between the long-winded and intense debates at the summons, Arga found herself in many philosophical talks with a chromatic diplomat, a Green dragon known as Lysarith.

The debates took 2 mortal months to finalise and agreement and temporary alliance. During those two moths The talks between Arga and Lysarith evolved into warm conversations which then eventually budded into new love.

As the talks conceded, Agra and Lysarith during the alliance became closer still.
Eventually after 3 long years of war waged with Faluzure, The deity of undeath, exhaustion and decay was cast into the Abyss and sealed by powerful artefacts now guarded by various mortal and planar factions to this day. With that, the alliance was disbanded, and with the over arching threat dealt with, the mutual disdain between metallic and chromatic dragons again took centre stage.

Disdain that was true for most, save for Arga and Lysarith.
They would meet in secret on the prime plane to share in each others company for weeks on end afore reluctantly returning to the duties of their respective flights.

In one such meet up, a captain of the metallic flight, Zaneth, the Shining Arora, Great Platinum Wyrm, grew suspicious of Arga's regular disappearances. Zaneth followed Arga to the meeting spot where he witnessed Lysarith appear.

Enraged by this apparent fraternising this consorting, this treason. Zaneth leapt from his hiding spot confronting both Agra and Lysarith.

Agra sprung in defence of her lover toward Zaneth however, Zaneth was a seasoned Great wyrm of the metallic dragon flight. He easily countered Arga's hostile advances. He grabbed ahold of her left horn and ripped it from her head, parting it from her skull with a sickening crack. Agra recoiled in horror, blood streaming down her forehead afore Zaneth swiftly batted her away. Agra hit a solid cliff face. She saw white. As her vision came to her body would not respond to her commands as she lay helpless, staring onward toward her lover Lysarith firmly in the grasp of Zanth's meaty claw.

Time seemed to slow down. Lysarith gasping for air that would not grace her lungs, Zaneth's grip was too tight around her throat. Zaneth lifted her off the ground taking in Lysarith's helpless visage.
Lysarith eyes still darting around then met Agra's gaze. This moment seemed to span a life time. Tears welled up in Lysariths eyes.

Agra's ears rung. She could not hear anything. One sound however did make it through the obnoxious hum. A deafening deep crack as Lysarith's neck snapped in Zaneths grip. Agra's lovers body hung limp in Zanath's claw. As the body dropped out of his grasp Agra's vision surrendered to the black of unconsciousness.

When she awoke, she wept over her lovers corpse for time that escaped conscious thought.

With her claw, Agra painted two green lines of Lysarith's blood on each of her cheeks. She made a blood oath to slay the dragon who murdered her lover. Denouncing her standing with the metallic flight and taking on the title 'the Green'

Now she has amassed a following of various individuals bent on their own path of vengeance.

Sooo yeah! New NPC. hope you guys like the art and back story!
