Dragon, Fallen Champion of Talvair
“I Defend”
Dragon once stood upon a mosaic field of purple and white. He was called the Lord of Protection, Lord of Honor, or the Lord of Order, for these were his domains.
In the darkest of nights, on the bloodiest battlefields, Dragon shone as a beacon of light and hope. The fires of his power bolstered the troops, maintained order, and engendered courage. In the times of terror, before the Phantasms came as a barrier against death, it was the Blooded of Dragon who protected us. It is said that the rivers ran with their blood during the Red Days, when every Blooded of Dragon we knew fell dead, when every Blooded of Dragon who marched North was never seen again, when Dragon himself took to the sky, the howling host of the Gilghul chasing behind him, never to return. We mourn Dragon’s loss, for Dragon was the heart of Talvair.
Without exception, the most numerous legends across Talvair speak of Dragon. At times the legends call him wise or chivalrous and at times they call him a terror, but always he defended the land. Such times are gone.
Placement
Dragon once stood in the light as the greatest defender of creation. On his left and his right stood World Tree and Siren. Opposing Dragon lurks Arachne, the great manipulator, who some call the Lady of Lies.
Bloodline
Those who had Dragon as their Patron are dead or gone, and Talvair aches to this day with the void of loss. Though their descendants serve other Patrons, the memory of the valor of the Dragon Blooded will live on in the tales told from father to son, Dragon’s legacy upon Talvair.
