# Overview Balevon the Deep is an ancient male [[Dragon Turtle]] and the namesake of [[Balevon Lake]] and [[Balevon River]]. He is revered by the [[Vela]] as the protector of their waters. In [[1488 AoM]] he was infected with [[The Laverasala Curse]] and became vicious and enraged. # Description ## Appearance Balevon is an enormous Dragon Turtle, at least 60 feet wide. His shell is covered in coral reefs and he has a three-pronged tail. ## Personality Balevon has been described as the protector of [[Balevon Lake]]. Presumably, he is noble to be revered by the Vela as such. # History ## Early History (???-[[1488 AoM]]) Balevon's early history is unknown. At some point he became the protector of Balevon Lake. ### [[The Corruption of Laverasala]] ([[1488 AoM]]) Balevon was corrupted by the [[The Laverasala Curse]], though it's unclear if he was the first to be corrupted or if he was corrupted later. He seemingly received a wound to his tail at this time that continued to bleed [[Great Beast Blood|Cursed Blood]] into the lake. Eventually, Balevon succumbed to the curse, entering a bloodthirsty enraged state. ## [[Campaign 2]] ([[1488 AoM]]-[[1489 AoM]]) ### [[Laverasala Mission]]
