Miirym
Miirym, the Sentinel Wyrm, is a spectral silver dragon that lives in the caves, catacombs, and vaults of Candlekeep.
Well over 1,500 years ago, the silver dragon Miirym broke into Candlekeep, intent on adding its riches to her hoard. She devoured scholars and destroyed a score of irreplaceable books before she was confronted by an archmage and bound into service to protect Candlekeep as penance for her misdeeds. The wizard passed away before Miirym’s sentence had been served, and other spellcasters were unable to break the enchantment that bound her.
Time passed and so did Miirym, whose corpse has long since crumbled into dust. Unfortunately for Miirym, the enchantment remains in effect on her spirit. The spectral dragon—what’s left of her—dwells in the catacombs and caves under the library. Those who have visited the depths describe Miirym as a set of immense spectral jaws whose essence roils with the promise of breath weapons and spells of destruction.
To The Avowed, Miirym is an engaging conversationalist who is more interested in the current affairs of the world than fighting. To intruders, she is a formidable opponent who will protect and defend her hoard of books and scrolls with her last undying breath. Miirym can also be summoned by the Keeper of Tomes and called upon to defend Candlekeep aboveground from invaders who would plunder or destroy it.
