I've just started a new campaign in the Forgotten Realms. We had a great kick off yesterday, we did a marathon session all day. The first big bad guy in this storyline is a Green Dragon. The players decided to do some research in the nearest city and the question came up historically what other green dragons have rampaged the realms. I couldn't think of any that I remember hearing off right off the bat. Does anyone else know of any famous green dragons in realms history?

It depends on the area. I know there were two in the Cormathor (pretty sure I spelled that wrong *blush*) forest that caused a lot of mayhem back in the day (not sure when, exactly, as I do not have my books with me at the moment).

It may still be in the archival area of the articles areas but there was a well done series updating 'named' dragons of the Realms from a long series in Dragon magazine. You may find something appropriate from there, also in Dragons of Faerun is another excellent source of information.

Let us know what area/region and I'm sure I or another can provide more information.

This would be near Baldur's Gate. The sword coast area. I don't want to go any further south than Athkatla and no further east than Iraiebor. I don't mind going as far north as Waterdeep as well.

Hmm... now I'm tempted to go get my books... otherwise, I'm afraid I can't be of any help here.

A few of the greens that were, could still be in that general region (if you are interested in the published setting ones):

Of course after the Spellplague, relocation of lairs is always a reasonable possiblity.



Claugiyliamatar "Old Gnawbone". NE Female ancient green dragon.

The domain of "Old Gnawbone" encompases a significant swath of northwestern Faerun, and the dragon's notoriety for killing adventurer's spreads even farther out. She controls a network of human spies in Waterdeep and Neverwinter. Her greatest desire is to be like one of the powerful women who live in these cities, and the spy network grants her a glimpse into this dream.
More information is of course cited. (From Dragons of Faerun) --Deeping Cave, Kryptgarden Forest
Andrathanach Status: Dead Gender: Male young green Lair/Domain: Noanar's Hold, W Border High Forest

Azurphax Dracolich G: Female adult green L/D: Unknown cave

Buchembrallor, "The Terror of Velen" Status: Living G: Male young green L/D: N Cape Velen, Wealdath

Choloracridara, Choloracidara Living Female old green L/D: Mhiilamniir, High Forest

Elaacrimalicros Living Male ancient green Star Mounts, High Forest

Emikaiwufeg Dead Female adult green NE Serpent Hills

Ishenalyr Dead Male ancient green Unknown

There are a good number more, those listed above being from Dragons of Faerun.

Thanks for the information that will help a lot the next time a player makes a history check at the local library.
