Episodes 3 and 4:
Death to the Wyrmspeakers
1 Arom their first discovery of the dragon masks in
M Hoard o f the Dragon Queen, the characters w ill
- L have recognized the importance of the masks to
the Cult of the Dragon.
Over the course of the adventure, the heroes have two
chances to come face to face with the wyrmspeakers of
Severin’s inner circle, perhaps claiming their dragon
masks and hindering Severin’s plans.
This section comprises two distinct episodes. In the
first episode, the characters track Varram, keeper of
the White Dragon Mask, to an ancient crypt overrun by
yuan-ti in the Serpent Hills. In the second episode, the
adventurers go up against Neronvain, wyrmspeaker of
the Green Dragon Mask, in a hidden stronghold and
dragon lair in the Misty Forest. These episodes play out
at different points during the first and second sessions
of the Council of Waterdeep, but are presented together
because they form two halves of a single m ission-
taking the fight to the wyrmspeakers as a means of
thwarting Severin’s plots.
Three of the five wyrmspeakers of the cult—Galvan
the Blue, Rezmir the Black, and Severin himself, who
wears the Red Dragon Mask— are already at the Well
of Dragons and beyond the party’s reach. However,
the white wyrmspeaker Varram is forced to leave the
security of his stronghold after losing possession of
the White Dragon Mask, while the green wyrmspeaker
Neronvain engages in raids against the elves of the
Misty Forest with his draconic ally, Chuth. When word
comes to the Council of Waterdeep that two of the five
wyrmspeakers might be at large, the adventurers seize
the opportunity to strike.

plans. Varram’s White Dragon Mask has gone missing,
stolen by a thief allied with the Zhentarim and now

to retrieve the mask before Severin discovers it is
missing, and so he has created the pretense of taking a
group of trusted followers to seek out a site of ancient
magic in the Serpent Hills, which he claims w ill help
the cult in its plans to summon Tiamat. In truth, Varram
is seeking the Tomb of Diderius—site of an ancient
