# Aurathrax, the Stormbreaker

## Overview

The oldest surviving Dragon Lord after [[Lythrendor, the Crystal Seer]]. Aurathrax is an isolationist who believes mortals are not worth the sacrifice dragonkind has made. He can be persuaded to support the Rite of Seven Flames in Arc 3, but it takes significant evidence and appeals to draconic honor rather than mortal need.

**In Arc 3:** [[Arc 3 - Heart of the Mountain#Hook 10: The Draconic Court|The Draconic Court]]

## Disposition

- Initially skeptical: DC 22 Persuasion to gain his vote
- Reduced to DC 18 if the party has freed [[Khalyraxis, the Verdant Wing]] and another Dragon Lord vouches
- Reduced to DC 14 if [[Morgra, the Ashen Matron]]'s treachery is exposed (he hates traitors above all)
- He votes against the party by default
