Vvaraak is the black Dragon who taught the first Gardiens and began the Druidique tradition in western Khorvaire many thousands of years ago during the Âge des Monstres. She was also known as 'the Scaled Apostate.'
Histoire
Vvaraak was a black Dragon who traveled to Khorvaire to over 16,000 years ago to teach the Orcs the secrets of Druidique magic. She did so to halt a great disaster she had foreseen, presumably the Guerre Daelkyr, the incursion of Daelkyr and their Aberration servants from Xoriat, the Realm of Madness. The threat she predicted may not have yet come to pass.
The dragons of Argonnessen consider Vvaraak a Draconique rogue, who shared the secrets of Druidique magic to the unworthy after being denied by the Conclave of Argonnessen.
Vvaraak taught the Orcs Druidique magic over the course of a century, before departing to spread the Gatekeeper tradition among the rest of Eberron. She is said to have taught them the secrets of creating the first horrid animals. She may have descended into the depths of Khyber to teach the Gatekeeper tradition to creatures such as the Derro.
It is unknown if she was destroyed by the Eyes of Chronepsis for her actions, or even if her actions were approved by the Conclave in the first place. She is revered by the Orcs of the Frontières de l'Ombre as their teacher. Some tribes of the Homme-Lézard of Q'Barra and Xen'Drik practice Gatekeeper traditions in her honor. The Seren druids call her the Ebon Mother.
Locations such as Cave de Vvaraak and the Mystic Glade in western Khorvaire are said to still bear lingering magic from her presence.
Note
Vvaraak was a Child of Eberron, the sovereign path of the Draconique adherents of Thir who seek to be closer to nature. The dark aspect is recognizable to Humanoïdes as Le Dévoreur, the Sovereign of Wave and Whelm of the Sombres Six. The light aspect is then Arawai, the Sovereign of Life and Love of the Légion Souveraine.
Vvaraak was misidentified in the [[Eberron Campaign Setting (book)| as a green dragon.
