Errevon was an ice elemental behemoth who attacked Tal'Dorei during the Icelost Years with the aid of the white dragon Skysunder.
Biography[]
The Icelost Years[]
Two years after the end of the Scattered War, Errevon and his elemental army invaded Tal'Dorei from the Elemental Plane of Ice via a portal in the forest now called the Frostweald. Skysunder, Herald of the Rimelord[1] was a white dragon who had been sealed within the Frostfell, the Elemental Plane of Ice. At some time prior to or concurrent with the Scattered War, Skysunder began acting as a scout to Errevon in order to find the weakest points between the planes.[1] It was with her help that, two years into the reign of Sovereign Zan Tal'Dorei's reign of her new kingdom, Errevon opened a portal in the forest now known as the Frostweald and plunged Tal'Dorei into an eternal winter known as the Icelost Years. Errevon then constructed a citadel of ice in the Foramere Basin.[2][3]
After several years, the Tal'Dorei Council was finally able to convince both Syngorn and Kraghammer - who had been on opposing sides in the Scattered War - to ally with them and fight back the invasion. Together, the peoples of Tal'Dorei along with Ashari druids of Zephrah were able to push Errevon and his servants back into the Frostfell. The Ashari permanently closed the rift between planes, and the storm then quickly subsided,[2] leaving some weaker spirits as the only remains of the Rimelord's army.[4]

Trivia[]
- While he was explaining his past during the Icelost Years Chetney Pock O'Pea said he was afraid of dragons.[5] Since Errevon himself is a titan, this was likely a reference to Skysunder, the white dragon who acted as herald for the Rimelord.
- It was confirmed later by Travis, however, that roughly during that time a red dragon had been going across Tal'Dorei too.[6] During a later conversation with Matthew Mercer he confused Errevon with the red dragon, and Matt corrected him.[7] It is unclear if the red dragon actually existed or if it was mixed up with the Rimelord all along.
