Call me Qudenos. Master of Flames, Splitter of Skies.— Qudenos providing proper introductions
Overview[edit | edit source]
Background[edit | edit source]
Qudenos is a red dragon who has lived for many centuries, bearing the weight of uncounted battles. Under a pact with the archdevil Tiamat, he serves the githyanki as a mount and companion to Kith'rak Voss.
Quests[edit | edit source]
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Act One[edit | edit source]
Qudenos can first be spotted flying around the Mountain Pass while using the telescope at the Emerald Grove. Upon reaching the pass, he will fly overhead on his way to meet Kith'rak Voss and his fellow githyanki. The sight of Qudenos will cause the party to pass a saving throw, or become frightened.
After speaking to Voss at the mountain pass, he and Qudenos will fly off together.
Act Three[edit | edit source]
 | Spoiler warning: The following content contains unhidden spoilers. Read at your own risk. |
Qudenos and Voss can both be met later in the Lower City Sewers, if Voss is alive and the quest The Githyanki Warrior is in progress. While travelling in Baldur's Gate, Qudenos will have taken on the form of a dragonborn.
While speaking to Qudenos, he will reveal that he is one among many red dragon rebels, loyal to the people and not to Vlaakith. After freeing Orpheus, Qudenos plans to carry Voss into battle to defeat Vlaakith.
If attacked, Qudenos and Voss will teleport away.
