This enormous crystalline dragon is considered neutral. She is called the Wurmqueen and the Mother of All Wurms. She created all of dragonkind, including drakes, wyverns and any associated dragon-kin. Information on the Wurmqueen is hard to come by, and her nondraconic warshippers tend to be either bards whose worship of her is as much a quest for information as a reverence for the Wurmqueen herself or more primitive humanoid races who serve Veeshan's children in hopes of receiving wealth and power from dragon-kind.
Veeshan is depicted as an impossibly large dragon of crystal. She lives on the plane of Sky. She neither has nor wants allies, but she feels a deep, smoldering animosity toward Brell Serilis for breaking her claim on Tunare. Veeshan's favored weapons are claws and teeth
