Argonnessen

—About the Destiny Arms

**Prince Oargev** of Cyre died on the Day of Mourning. To the general public, he survived and has been traveling with his bodyguard and friend, Barasha. Only a few people know the truth: the person pretending to be Oargev is actually a dragon named **Varaxxis**.

## History

### Finding a Trail

The dragon pretending to be Prince Oargev is on the lightning rail to Sharn when it's attacked by warforged who serve the Lord of Dust. Dex, Beric, Draconos, Farlan, and Barasha all fight them off. Oargev is momentarily kidnapped, but the heroes manage to save him. After they arrive in Sharn, he thanks them for their service and leaves to settle his business.

### Ancient Memories

The party comes across Oargev locked in a cage in some giant ruins in Xen'drik. They untie him and he explains that he and Barasha were looking for a new place to settle in, but they were captured by the giants. Barasha has been taken to a different part of the ruins, so they can "test something on him." Eventually they find Barasha being feeded on by a vampire and rescue him.

### The Power of Words

On their way back to Stormreach, Oargev warns Beric of the dangers of his black book he found in Lucan's lair. Beric is insulted that Oargev assumes he'll be the one responsible for the book, and does not hand it over.

### The Raven's Toll

Oargev shows up in dragon form when *Borrowed Time* is making its way back to Khorvaire. He doesn't reveal himself to the crew, but tears apart the ship they're busy fighting, and then steals Beric's book.

### Tales of the Ancients

Oargev and Barasha have been wandering the Xen'drik desert for twenty days by the time the crew of *Borrowed Time* spots them. They're invited to take a breather onboard. Oargev elects to stay behind while Barasha accompanies them on their adventure. In the ruins of a buried pyramid they discover the truth: both Oargev and Barasha are great dragons. Their job is to find and protect the Destiny Arms, and they do not want them to be used in Dal Quor.

### The Storm's Ashes

Oargev and Barasha meet back up with the party on *Borrowed Time*. They bring some troubling news; dragons are vulnerable to the Quori. Because of this, they need to hunt down Qataakhast and his mate Vyssilthar. They bring Bhimanni to join the party in their search for the maul and afterward, to venture into Dal Quor.

### Epilogue

The people of Stormreach will remember the devastation that happened at their docks for years. Oargev descends in a fury, burning the boats of the Riedran soldiers with his lightning breath. The stories would tell not of the mighty blue dragon screaming in a rage, but crying out. They don't know the reason why: Barasha fell in the battle with Qataakhast.

## Physical Attributes

In his true form he's a blue dragon, but in his Oargev suit he's a very handsome man in his mid-thirties.
