When a young human girl revealed that Aaravos had orchestrated several crises throughout the world for a thousand years, Avizandum and the other Archdragons, along with the elves, tricked Aaravos into a state vulnerable enough to successfully imprison him. Aaravos despises Avizandum for imprisoning him for centuries, having taken immense satisfaction and outright joy in Viren's tale of how he and Harrow had slain the Dragon King. He considered Avizandum to have been an "arrogant monster" and finds ire in not knowing the location of his prison behind the mirror which the Archdragon had banished him to. Viren: Since revealing himself as the Startouch Elf behind the magic mirror, Aaravos has been instructing and mentoring Viren in various ways by using a caterpillar-like creature as an earpiece for his human ally to listen to. He further acted as a confidante, like when Viren told him of how the other rulers of the Human Kingdoms refused to listen to his warnings, leading Aaravos to encourage him to use fear tactics to provoke them into action against Xadia.
