Late last evening, two large shadows were seen passing over the village of Kiran. The first shadow moved very quickly to the southwest, while the second trailed behind and appeared to be dripping snow. A group of adventurers followed, witnessing a great battle between a giang black wyrm, described as easily larger than the biggest red, and a silver dragon with a knight mounted on its back.
The black wyrm had the advantage of speed, strength, and size, but the rider was seemingly able to outmanuever the beast by making fly-by attacks and making cuts with a large frost covered greatsword. The battle took place over the Western Sea, almost directly above the ship 'The Liberator.' The crew of the Liberator tried assisting the knight by firing arrows, but most only shattered on the wyrm's hide. After a few passes the black began spitting acid at the knight (and nearly hitting the boat), though the silver showed great skill in dodging and passed over the wyrm. The knight leapt off his mount and dove onto the black wyrm, causing a great wound to its back. He then used a shortsword to climb to the creature's head. In response, the black wyrm began to corkscrew and threw the knight off. The windpower from the corkscrew was able to move the anchored boat and force the crew to cut the sails or risk being lost at sea. The knight, who was caught by the silver and placed in the crow's nest, was heard muttering an incantation and soon took flight towards the wyrm and attempted to cut through the wyrm's wing, though only ended up stuck and hanging by his sword.
A trident thrown from the Liberator hit the black in the eye and briefly stunned it. An arrow followed shortly after and hit the greatsword and loosened it from the dragon's wing. The great wyrm shouted in draconic and teleported away. The knight had been caught by his mount and was last seen flying south.
The wyrm has been previously reported in other areas of Fenmyr, often followed by the dragon rider. The knight is seemingly known as the 'Azure Drake', though details beyond this are sketchy.
