Qaalaaq

Qaallaaq went one step further in her species usual devotion to Chernobog by joining the Night Cauldron. She wishes to apply her might to bring about the eternal darkness that the cult seeks. Like many dragons, Qaallaaq is a prideful creature, and she views her absence from the cult’s leadership as an insult. She plays a dangerous yet thrilling game of pitting powerful enemies against the cult in the hopes of eliminating one of the leaders, preferably Nikolai. In this role, she provides the PCs’ main entry point to the cult’s activities as she secretly cultivates them and sets them on the path to a direct confrontation with Nikolai, the winter hag coven, or Serrin. For their part, the leaders of the Night Cauldron are aware of Qaalaaq’s ambitions and tolerate it as long as she furthers the cult’s objectives. Their confidence in their own ability to predict the dragon's machinations may be misplaced.
