Rhizanthel

Rhizanthel is a shrewd and cunning business woman, using her considerable skill in trading and bartering to secure her clan's place within Shadow Flight and protect her charge. Perhaps not the most intelligent of dragons, she can always smell a deal in the making and whatever she cannot win through guile or games, she tries to claim with tooth and claw.

While this older obsidian female will always carry herself with an air of civility, greeting you with a salesman's smile, Rhizanthel's patience is notoriously short. If you waste her time, her facade crumbles away almost immediately, revealing an irritable dragon eager to be rid of you in the most expedient manner possible.

Like any Guardian dragon, Rhizanthel set out on her Search when she came of age, settling on a small estuary in the Driftwood Drag where she could accrue her wealth. Bordering both the Viridian Labyrinth and Sunbeam Ruins territories, this seemingly worthless patch of bog and rocks has proven to be a quite profitable location for trade.

Here, she built up a winding lair of reeds and broken wood, and set up a small storefront. This allows the neighbouring realms to peddle their wares or buy supplies without venturing too deeply into the mist. And while Rhizanthel prides in dealing in mostly legitimate business, she is hardly above swindling folks out of hard-earned treasures, often charging a 'fee' for entering or leaving the Tangled Wood.

Rhizanthel even plied her brokering expertise to quickly build up a clan of like-minded dragons and the Black Bog Trading Post was founded. Though she prefers to live apart from her clan, closer to the estuary, she often visits and offers tips on how to make the clan's individual projects more profitable. She often doles out practical advice and can usually lend a logical voice to any dilemma, but is often woefully under-equipped to help in any emotional way.
