I don't consider myself a Greyhawk geek since I'm like that with most of the old published worlds, but sometimes I forget not everyone is as well-versed (though, to be fair, Erik Mona dropped a lot of classic names of people and places in the last Dungeon's editorial, and many of them I still haven't puzzled out).Dragotha is an undead dragon (he's unique though, not a dracolich). Dragotha was a red dragon consort of Tiamat, but when he murdered another dragon who threatened his position, was killed on Tiamat's orders. However, an unknown death deity had previously made a deal with Dragotha, and brought him to unlife. He now lives in the northern Flanaess. He hasn't been seen in centuries though, because Keraptis of White Plume Mountain placed him into a quiescent state. Dragotha was first mentioned (very obliquely) in S2 White Plume Mountain, and later detailed in Dragon #134 ("Lords & Legends"). He was given a bit more of a mention (though still not much) in 2E's Return to White Plume Mountain, and updated in <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20010817a" target="_blank">Dragotha's Lair</a>.Kyuss is a (Neutral Evil) Hero God (a status of deity lower than a demigod; divine rank 0, but able to grant spells and domains) of creation and mastery of the undead. The Sons (or Spawn, or Scions) of Kyuss are his most famous creation, though by no means the only ones he's invented. More about Kyuss can be found in the article "Blood of Heroes" in Living Greyhawk Journal #3.The Vaati (aka the Wind Dukes of Aaqa) were the lawful foes that fought against the Queen of Chaos and her consort, Miska the Wolf-Spider. Their greatest creation was the Rod of Law, which was shattered when it banished the Wolf-Spider, and became known as the more famous Rod of Seven Parts. You can find more information about the Vaati in the Rod of Seven Parts boxed set, Dragon #224 ("The History of the Rod of Seven Parts"), 2E's Monstrous Compendium Annual vol. IV, or (with a slightly different background) in the Oriental Adventures <a href="http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20011019a" target="_blank">web enhancement</a>.</blockquote>
