Most people just refer to him as “the beast,” or to his face “sir.” There is a tree inside the woods called the Orion Tree, whose wood is incredibly valuable for both crafting and spell components. The only safe way to harvest the wood is the strike a bargain with “the beast.”

The currents in The Tongue of the Beast are incredibly dangerous, but many still make a living fishing along its shores. It is quite common to see dragons lounging along the shores of the river.
