Akylios
Akylios is a dragon god of the Blood Storm - dragon of secrets and magic. He is from the elemental Plane of Water, and his Dragon Cult is known the Abyssal.[1]

[edit] Dragon of Water: the Profane
The prison fits the prisoner: Akylios waits deep beneath one of Telara’s great secret shames, a place of terror and darkness and forbidden magic. He sleeps and he dreams, remembering endless eons marauding through the cosmos with his Blood Storm brethren, learning every tragic secret, every evil spell, sipping the nightmares of dying worlds.[2]
Telarans can comprehend the other dragons’ urges to consume, to conquer, to hoard, but Akylios is beyond understanding. The living interest him because the tortured howls of races sound almost like music. He does not seek victory over men any more than the ocean strives against the land. One day he will simply wash all mortals away just to hear them scream their silly symphony. He was mad even before he learned all fears and secrets. There are no words for what Akylios is now.[3]
[edit] Prison of the Profane
During the Blood Storm Wars, Akylios was imprisoned alongside his brethen. His prison has been revealed (by Calyx the Ancient) as being under the cursed dwarven fortress, Hammerknell. The Abyssal as well as the Endless Court vied to be the first to delve into Hammerknell and uncover the dragon's secrets, but during the Tides of Madness World Event the Defiant as well as Guardian Ascended beat them to it and opened the doors to the fortress themselves.
