Why did The Chroma Conclave attack?
Typically, dragons are selfish creatures in Dungeons and Dragons, often looking for power, wealth, and subjugation, no matter the cost. This is primarily the idea behind The Chroma Conclave, whose main objective was to wipe out Tal’Dorei and Draconia. Once complete, the five dragons would split the continent among each other and reign over their own regions.
However, each dragon has their own motives. Brimscythe, being the youngest of the group wanted power, wealth, and the chance to match the Ancient dragons in his wake.
Umbrasyl ultimately wanted an escape from being hunted constantly. He attempted to take over Westruun to create a safe lair surrounded by those who worshipped and feared him.
Vorugal wanted the power and reign of Draconia, a powerful nation known for tracking The Chroma Conclave long before Capital City Emon knew of their deadly strength.
Raishan needed to cure herself of a horrific disease that was weakening her, hence the title, The Diseased Deceiver, which is why she began the attacks in the first place.
Thordak’s initial imprisonment was the reason behind his attacks. Previously imprisoned in the Elemental Plane of Fire, Thordak struck a deal with Raishan to cure her after aiding in destroying and then owning Emon.
Who is Brimscythe: The Iron Storm?
As previously mentioned, Brimscythe was the youngest dragon in the group and thus, was a little reckless. Fans of The Legend Of Vox Machina will likely recognize this adult blue dragon as a primary villain in Season 1.
Brimscythe originally appeared as General Krieg, a soldier attempting to locate the blue dragon responsible for destroying areas close to Emon. His plan was to send an army after the dragon in the hopes of leaving the city defenceless, instead, the council sent Vox Machina.
Soon after, it was discovered that Krieg was in fact Brimscythe when he murdered Gregory Fince and fled through a portal to his lair.
Vox Machina followed him and, after a thrilling battle, ended his life. This was before the other four ancient dragons descended on the helpless city.
Who is Umbrasyl: the Hope Devourer?
Umbrasyl is the ancient black dragon who helps the rest of the Chroma Conclave take Emon. He eventually takes Westruun for his own, casting a dark shadow of fear, despair, and hopelessness across its residents.

He has a deadly acid breath that can destroy hundreds of citizens in one go and is a truly formidable opponent.
Umbrasyl was the second member of the Chroma Conclave to die after being attacked by Vox Machina and the Herd of Storms. Shortly after, Umbrasyl flew away, being chased by the group into his lair. He was quickly killed.
Who is Raishan: The Diseased Deceiver?
Raishan and Thordak are almost the leaders of The Chroma Conclave. They instigated the collaboration and are often referred to as the most powerful of the group. For Raishan, this is due to her brains rather then her power.
She’s an ancient green dragon who’s fiercely diseased and is searching for a cure, granted by Thordak after the successful destruction of Tal’Dorei. She is manipulative, deceitful, and immensely clever, using wit to get her way.

Who is Vorugal: The Frigid Doom?
Vorugal is an ancient white dragon, capable of ice breath. He’s the most bestial of The Chroma Conclave and took over Draconia, but not before having a brief battle with Vox Machina before.
Notably, Vorigal is known for satiating his hunger for power and violence with large-scale hunts designed to provide a challenge for the powerful creature.

Who is Thordak: The Cinder King?
Known as The Cinder King, Thordak is the more ferocious and powerful member of The Chroma Conclave. He is also the dragon that killed Vex’ahlia and Vax’ildan’s mother years before the two joined Vox Machina.
Ultimately, Thordaks goal is vengeance and destruction, getting revenge for his banishment after attacking the city of Ank’Harel centuries before the events seen in The Legend of Vox Machina. He is truly a formidable opponent.
