Silanah is a great red dragon associated with the Tiste Andii and the depths of Moon’s caverns. When she appears, she leads four black Soletaken dragons in formation, dwarfing them with her massive size. Her iridescent scales catch the sunlight, while her enormous, empty gaze gives her presence a terrifying, impersonal force.
Description
Silanah is a massive red dragon, twice the size of the four black dragons that accompany her. Her scales shimmer with iridescent red, and her enormous wings dominate the air when spread. Her eyes are each as large as a Jaghut’s head, their blank, deadly gaze strikingly devoid of expression. She moves with the overwhelming scale and stern presence of an ancient dragon.
