Abilities Īs her nickname indicates, the Wyrm of Many Spells had considerable skill in magic. Īccording to some investigations, it seems that Jalanvaloss wasn't interested in the company of any other dragons (at least during her younger years). Thanks to her age, Jalanvaloss could recall most of the genealogies of Waterdeep's families, as well as the histories, relationships, and alliances of all families, cabals, and other groups. Jalanvaloss was a consummate actress and she liked to scheme and manipulate others. She was a vigilant observer of even the smallest details and this helped her in the many intrigues and deception she was a part of. Some described Jalanvaloss as greedy as a red dragon. Fickle but not malicious, she manipulated nobles, merchants, and adventurers in her efforts to expand her power and holdings. Jalanvaloss was a schemer, trickster, and manipulator, living for upheaval and unpredictability, endeavoring to keep her city dynamic. As of 1479 DR, her favorite persona was that of Lady Jalanvaloss, a slim female human with long, straight, black hair and steel-gray eyes.
In fact, she liked to spend more time in human form than in her natural form, and so she created a lot of different human identities to avoid raising suspicions. Jalanvaloss assumed different human forms and personas when she wanted to mingle with the inhabitants of Waterdeep. Her large, intelligent silver eyes made her face more expressive. The spines that surrounded her face resembled whiskers and long, straight hair. In her draconic form, Jalanvaloss was long and sleek with catlike grace.
