Vesolaara

## Vesolaraa

**Vesolaara**, also known as the **Red Rage**, is a Red/Black Dragon Hybrid ridden at first by King Aegaron II Ocethion and later by Queen Ailish Ocethion.

## Description

### Appearance

Vesolaara is a six hundred ninety-three year old Red Dragon best known for his deep scarlet scales, for which he received his alias, the *Red Rage*. While he was not entirely red akin to his species name, he was Half-Black Dragon, giving him partially black scales, which were known to be indestructible. He had red and black spines going along his neck, dorsal region, and tail. His claws had severe mutations, resembling battle-worn marks to some, with one claw missing and the others protruding and notably sharper than those of a typical dragon. He had deep yellow eyes with slender black pupils.

Vesolaraa's ultimate size has been contested throughout the years. While officially classified as gargantuan in size, he surpasses the size of most red dragons by a considerable amount. In fact, his size can be described as colossal, and it's important to note that he hasn't even reached his full size. His total length measures at one hundred twenty feet, with a body length of thirty-five feet. His neck extends to thirty-five feet, while his tail stretches to fifty feet, and his body spans fifteen feet in width. When standing, he reaches a height of twenty-two feet. His wingspan ranges from a minimum of sixty feet to a maximum of one hundred fifty feet. All these measurements contribute to his weight of one million two hundred eighty thousand pounds.

### Personality

Similar to most Red Dragons, or dragons in general, Vesolaraa was initially chaotic evil. He did not hold disdain for serving as a dragon mount for humans, but over time, he adapted to it and even came to enjoy going on joy rides.

In the words of Ailish, *“Vesolaraa has a strong personality, he’s sassy, stubborn, and is driven by food.”*

## Backstory

### Background

#### Early Life

Vesolaraa was born in 803 DR in the capital city of Iythos, Agriosa, in Mount Delaenyá, with an unknown number of sibling eggs. In 854 DR, Vesolaraa left the liar to live on his own. It is believed that he spent some time residing in the Lucilduun desert before eventually making his way back to Iythos.

#### Dark Magic War

In the year 1004 DR, at the age of 201, Vesolara was captured during one of the earliest conflicts that House Greywater had helped liberate. He was unwillingly subjected to the influence of dark magic, serving as a mount during the conflict. After the war concluded, he vanished for a time.

#### House Ocethion Dynasty

In 1206 DR, at the age of 403, Vesolaraa returned to Iythos, piqued by the ascendancy of House Ocethion in the Eastern Kingdoms. His curiosity led him to linger in Iythos, and eventually, he reclaimed his original home, Mount Delaenyá.

By 1209 DR, he was claimed by one of the reigning monarchs, and as the years passed, he became an enduring mount in the service of successive kings. However, it wasn't until 1301 DR, during the zenith of House Ocethion's dynasty, that he was taken under the wing of King Aegaron II Ocethion. On his deathbed, Aegaron's final wish was for Vesolaraa to safeguard the lineage of his family.

Vesolaraa indeed would do so, though due to his stubbornness he only chose only one of Aegaron’s children to protect: King Vahaemar Ocethion. In the year 1466 DR, Vesolaraa was tamed by Princess Ailish Ocethion when she was just twelve years old and has been at her side since.

In combat, Vesolaraa's flames were a blend of crimson and obsidian hues.
