This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Bound by promises and oaths, Runewahl'Gaza had never left the scarce and vast tundra of Ivrahim. He is the ancient protector of the rivers of Solh, guardian of the forest of Mirt, Drachlin's lone sentinel, and overseer of the storms that plague mount Brimm. For eons he had stood guard to the land bestowed upon him by the Gehl'veen, an ancient folk of nomads. But centuries have passed since he swore to the leaders of Gehl that he would protect them and the nature they both treasured and worshiped. Now, the lands, his lands, no longer have a need for a guardian. Where once tents and huts of leather stood one can now find houses of stone, cities covering past grazing lands as temples, dedicated to foreign gods, trample forests as old as the mountains they grew upon. The name Runewahl'Gaza long forgotten, the love and dedication he once enjoyed a lost memory, the bonds of mutual respect and love he shared with humans, earth and sky, shattered. In Deo Confidimus, but no longer in this one.
