## Backstory

Galbitorax is 2,312 years old. They were ancient before the dragon wars began. When they were born the dragons flew freely across the earth and the Mind Flayers ruled many great areas of territory. Galbitorax fought to free the humanoids from the Mind Flayers in the Mind Wars. After freeing the humanoids and casting the Mind flayers away. Galbitorax began to gather knowledge and learned to cast arcane magic as the humanoid races did. When the dragon conquest began Galbitorax, from his mountain helped unite the dwarves of the region under the guise of another dwarf spell caster. Galbitorix Sultan, the first ruler of Galbitorium and founder of the city ruled wisely until his years as a dwarf were to end. They then used their magics to create a false son who would succeed the governorship. When Galibitorax was due to die they simply faked their death with magic and then assumed the form of the dwarf to take over the throne and removed the magics creating that dwarf. Because of their leadership Galbitorium has been a stable city state for most of the existence of the Kingdom of Bholdor. Galbitorax does not like to involve Galbitorium in war and as such tries to keep the city out of disputes between the governors. Because of Galbitorax's Leadership the people decided to call all future rulers Sultan in regards to their false surname. Even if the people believe the governorship would leave the family the ruler was stilled called the Sultan.

## Lair and Lair Actions

### **Galbitorax's Lair**

Galbatorax Dwells in Mount Galbitorax in the center of Galbitorium. It is a single mountain just south of the Khern Mountian Range. Its peak reaches just high enough for snow to be there most times of the year. His layer is on the top floor of the government building of the city of Galbitorium. The layer is only accessible by air so only Galbitorax can reach the top.

#### **Lair Actions**

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:

* The dragon creates fog as if it had cast the fog cloud spell. The fog lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
* A blisteringly cold wind blows through the lair near the dragon. Each creature within 120 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 5 (1d10) cold damage. Gases and vapors are dispersed by the wind, and unprotected flames are extinguished. Protected flames, such as lanterns, have a 50 percent chance of being extinguished.
* The Dragon Regains 1d6 Spell slots.

#### **Regional Effects**

The region containing a legendary silver dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects.

* Once per day, the dragon can alter the weather in a 6-mile radius centered on its lair. The dragon doesn’t need to be outdoors; otherwise, the effect is identical to the control weather spell.
* Within 1 mile of the lair, winds buoy non-evil creatures that fall due to no act of the dragon’s or its allies. Such creatures descend at a rate of 60 feet per round and take no falling damage.
* Given days or longer to work, the dragon can make clouds and fog within its lair as solid as stone, forming structures and other objects as it wishes.

If the dragon dies, changed weather reverts to normal, as described in the spell, and the other effects fade in 1d10 days.
