Lamthanc means "Forked-tongue," which is an apt title for this huge grey-white Cold-drake. Not only is his prehensile, nine foot tongue forked, but he is a deceptive schemer. Lamthanc disdains truths, preferring to employ complex lies to confuse and trap his foes. He is, in every sense, a playful killer. A resident of the Iron Mountains, he lives near the icy waters of the Sea of Illuin, by the Bay of Utûm in north-central Endor. His only rival for power in the region has been Hoarmûrath of Dír, the King of Urd (and later a Ringwraith).
(character) had traveled many long and twisting paths this day. The mountain passes were always difficult to find and the trails had a way of changing their markings. The last path showed promise as it snaked its way toward the top of this particular mountain. Perhaps this was the right path after all. Suddenly, the path ended in what seemed to be a giant cave entrance. Lying in front of the entrance was a being that generated instant fear and respect. A grey-white Dragon lay there and the ancient name leapt unbidden to memory. This one was known as "Lamthanc", and as the grey-white scaled head swiveled up to gaze with piercing eyes, the mouth opened to...speak?

One player reported a character death after doing Act HAUGHTY with a Free Peoples. However, he was a dwarf, which has a tendency to bring out the worst in dragons. Until I hear from someone else, I'm going to add an additional note to the dragon file giving injury/death as a possible alternate outcome of Act HAUGHTY.
Update: in game 13UK when playing the dwarves my character, an emissary/mage escaped with 1 health by acting Haughty.
