== Background == Teriarch is ancient beyond measure. All numbers assigned to his age are estimates. He is so old that even the most impassioned arguments now fail to move him from his isolation - not because he's heartless, but because he's heard it all, done it all, and seen the results of his efforts crumble to dust every single time.<ref name=":0" /> A full list of his exploits would be utterly impossible, but a few of the people he knew and historical events he participated in are as follows: When he was a hatchling, the Dragonthrone of flame was still under construction.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/09/25/9-17-r/ Chapter 9.17 R]</ref> He also met one of the last [[Gnomes]] still alive in that era. He had gone to the heart of the [[Grand Design of Isthekenous|Grand Design]] when Dragons were appraised for the right to join the system of classes and levels.<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/16/interlude-levels/ Interlude - Levels]</ref> Teriarch knew the fourth incarnation of the [[Quarass]] - while they were sworn enemies, they struck a deal to work together. At some point, he was the protector of the Empire of [[Iltanus]], feared by the [[Walled Cities]] who held fast against the Empire. He knew Empress Sheta of that empire, among others, and protected the [[Harpies]] until their last city fell.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/27/7-25/ Chapter 7.25]</ref> Teriarch fought the Great [[Wyrms]] of Chandrar alongside the remaining Dragonlords of the era, and won. During the war, he created the [[Glass Straits]] with his killer move. The fire from his strike lasted eight days and nights.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/12/9-06/ Chapter 9.06]</ref> Teriarch has known [[Magnolia Reinhart]] since she was a girl, that is since thirty or forty years in the past if his memory serves him correctly. They didn't lose contact, but she managed to hide the secret of his existence from the world.<ref name=":0" /><ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/14/2-12/ Chapter 2.12]</ref> During the [[First Antinium War]], an Antinium army led by [[Xrn]] and [[Devrkr]] tried to encroach north to invade and attack the human army rescuing Liscor from the rear. Teriarch destroyed the force and foiled that plan.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/01/29/9-34/ Chapter 9.34]</ref> Later, during the [[Second Antinium War]], the [[Antinium]] again tried to seize parts of northern Izril. However, they again encountered Teriarch, who burned two armies and ended those plans.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/08/30/9-12/ Chapter 9.12]</ref> He refused to further participate in the war besides delaying [[Velan]] when he came to the High Passes, as he refused to fight the Goblins.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/26/s02-the-antinium-wars-pt-5/ S02 - The Antinium Wars (Pt. 5)]</ref> Teriarch occasionally walks the world in disguise using a fake persona, such as [[Eldavin|Grand Magus Eldavin]], and used to make quite the impression each time. He was recently convinced to do so once again by [[Ryoka Griffin]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/29/7-37/ Chapter 7.37]</ref>
