What about Null? (Isn't he sometimes depicted as a massive dracolich or something? That's very Realms-related since dracoliches originated in the Realms) It could be a cool massive Shadow Dragon-like being. Still a Dragon. Not Tiamat. Very Realms. Garyx is another to use. Heck, why not do what the Realms does best!? Ancient stirrings rising up to make a place for themselves in the current era. That's a recurring Realms-like theme and I would have used one of the long gone draconic deities. Like Zorquan or Kalzareinad.I get Tiamat is iconic to D&D...but she is not iconic to the Forgotten Realms. Null would have been perfect to toy and play with, maybe his darker side (the Falazure aspect) tries to corrupt and take over or something.I think that's the problem. The adventure is not a "Forgotten Realms" book. They don't market it as such. There is no Realms logo on the book covers. It just uses the world as a setting. Yeah, the events are considered canon but...well, for some reason WotC's flexes their very wacky marketing skills once again and muddles things up.</blockquote>
