The Dragon Overlords were an unfortunate byproduct of Takhsis’ designs in the wake of the Chaos War. One could argue they did more damage and caused more change to Krynn than the Gods ever did.

Discussion

While the Dragon Overlords conducted their Dragon Purge, eliminating masses of native dragons of all ages to Krynn, not all were easy targets. Now referred to as Lesser Dragon Overlords, these powerful creatures found ways of working between the five overlords' new domains, claiming territory native to their chromatic or metallic preference. They claimed and staked out what are referred to as Minor Dragon Realms, but make no mistake, these great wyrms participated in the Dragon Purge and are still massive threats to those who underestimate them in comparison.

Fenalysten is a red dragon native to Krynn. He fought in the War of the Lance and is known as ruthless and brutal to all. He inhabits the hilly basin between the Dargaard Mountains and the northwestern Khalkist Mountains. Cinder as he is known to mortals has aspirations of being as powerful as Malystryx, though he is not so foolish as to think he could beat her. He jealously eyes the Neighboring Lorrinar’s realm for its mountains and is in co...
