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.

Ithquent Darastrix guards the Cavern Complex in which his master, Dragon King Shamakan, houses his dragons. Ithquent is a kindhearted and friendly dragon, though since his duties as a Guardian of Nature Dragon require him to guard an area of land, he is quite fearsome when people destroy nature around him. Ithquent is not above attacking those he sees as threats, but he would prefer to spend his time lazing around in the sunlight relaxing.
