Amethyst

The most wise and psychically inclined of the gemstone dragons. An Amethyst dragon may be one of the hardest to deceive and one of the best to teach you they things they have learned. In being the advisors to those they enjoy. They are council in hard times and adore seeing those they have fostered rise to being great in any respect. They hold pride in their lessons and their elegance as dragons. Being the most regal of the most earthen based gemstone dragons they are often thought of having the regality of royalty but the understanding of common-folk and how things tend to work out. They excel at planning and are not afraid to show themselves to any other species when the time is right.

    With clear crystal that fades to a variety of purples and wings that seem to have developed unique crystals specific for digging through other rock and a strong, broad chest, they have strength and intelligence. They may not be the strongest of the gemstone dragons but their body covered in stones harder than steel allow for elegance and bulk. They have a wide shoulder width and large wings, the amethyst forming two horns that curl down the back of their heads to curl at the tips. The stone going down their neck almost like a neck dress and slowly tapering down the chest. The eyes vibrant as if to draw attention to themselves.

    Seekers of Understanding. Perhaps it is their thirst for knowledge and spreading what they know, but Amethyst dragons often will not let a conversation pass until it feels it has learned something from the conversation, or it has taught a lesson to the one on the other end of the conversation. They are not afraid to engage anyone else, and often treat them as a neutral party would. But if anyone attempts to leave an area without trying to learn or trying to teach something to the dragon, it will likely express it’s more curious nature and follow the person around until it gets what it wants even if the person does not enjoy it. If they attempt to escape via magical means the Amethyst dragon will often track the person down and resume doing this again.

    Formers of Kingdoms. While being leaders, they often instruct those they choose on where and when to take steps to form kingdoms and towns. If a person runs into an amethyst dragon while scouting an area, the dragon will often help whoever it is as long as they pay respects to the dragon afterward. The dragon will even help build and plan the housing and land out to fit the families. But after this is done will likely leave the place and people to be, letting it grow on it’s own after receiving the knowledge it came to acquire in trade.

    In doing such they are not afraid to place their hoards somewhere more hidden. In saying this, their hoards are usually hidden not far from their main dwellings and may even be hidden underneath the towns or kingdoms that they had helped form. While they favorite objects that give them knowledge of things others would not know. Or things that are made in odd ways, a spellbook of an old mage with high level spells is among one of the most precious treasures a Amethyst dragon could have.

On initiative 20 (losing on ties) the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; The dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row.

• A crystal cluster sprouts from the ground, making a 10 foot radius around it difficult to think in, giving Disadvantage on any Intelligence saving throws to creatures in the area.
• A burst of psychic damage rings out in a 5ft cylinder, 10ft high. A person must make a DC 13 Wisdom save or take 3d6 Psychic damage.
• A crystal from the ceiling breaks apart and falls striking a 5ft area with a crystal stalagmite. Whoever is in the area must make a DC15 Dexterity save or take 5d6 Bludgeoning damage and fall Prone.

Regional Effects

• Small crystalline Amethyst bundles spit from the ground for 6 miles around the dragons lair. These crystal clusters function as a conduit for the dragons telepathy so that anyone around them for the dragons range of telepathy can talk directly to the dragon if they allow it. If they are not willing then they must make a Wisdom saving throw DC 13.
• More crystaline, large pillars function as a way to allow telepathic communication between the creatures and beings within. Any animal that normally cannot speak a language can still get across what it is feeling to others within the 30ft range for 3 miles away from the lair
• The dragon immediately knows the position of any area within 10 miles that has released a large shockwave such as explosion, thunderwave, or loud noises. If any of the other crystals are struck, it will release a psychic wave that has a similar effect and deals 1d6 Psychic damage to all within 5ft.

If the dragon dies these effects slowly fade over 1d10 days
