Holds the ability to communicate and locate others who stand in water as long as she is also in water. Peace-loving, calm, and low-conflict oriented.

Abeona,   Member of the Niharikian Clan. You can see her flitting all over the outer parts of the clan usually ducking into one store or another to purchase the materials she needs to keep the clan-funded hotels well stocked. If she isn’t shopping she’s frequenting any restaurant or popular locale to see if they have anything new to recommended to her customers. It isn’t uncommon for the owners of these stores to give her a free meal or sample of what they have to offer, knowing that the friendly wildclaw will send droves of tourists their way if she likes what she is trying out. She gets on well with most of the regular visitors to the clan and will even direct the more snobbish of the visitors to other more sumptuous resting locations if the clan funded hotel is not to their standards. By now most know to see her first if they are coming to visit the clan for anything longer than a day. In what little free time she has you can find her sleeping in someone else’s den. Member of the Interclan, Resource and Records Guilds.. For now she is keeping her abilities to herself.. She is bubbly cheerful dragon with exacting taste and a drive for perfection.

Andais, Queen of the Niharikian Clan. Mate to Eamon, Descendant of Apollymi. Specializes in handling Military decisions and handing down judgement on clan members.

Passionate and protective.  

Eamon, King of the Niharikian Clan. Mate and Guardian to Andais, Father of far too many children. Specializes in handling Ambassador decisions, Trading and Guild interactions, and any expansion projects in the clan. A very good dragon to back you up in battle and a master level blacksmith. It isn’t uncommon to see him taking a break from whatever important thing is going on to take a look at the newest merchandise being made or the newest iteration of whatever the Scientist Guild is currently developing. He and Andais met after she had started her travels although they had both grown up in range of the Great Furnace and he fell head over heels for her. He’s an expert at getting her to cool off before saying something she’d regret to an ally and she puts up with the fact that he will tear up over the sappiest of stories. He’s proud of the clan and is willing to give anyone a second chance once. Holds the ability to create flame, manipulate the emotions of others and do some minor healing. Sensitive, caring and holds a grudge like no one business.

Apollymi, Member of the Udbayi Forges  Mate to Unistenje and Ora. Mother of far too many shadelings. Queen of the Santaluna Hives. Her past beyond the Order is a mystery. While many know that she was one of the Order’s earliest members very few have learned about much of her before that. She claims to be a  pure shade primogenitor but based on the abilities that she has used while with the order she easily surpasses the abilities of most if not all other primogenitors the Order have come across. The heralds don’t hold an advantage against her and shade from outside the Order seem more subservient to her than they have any right to be. She is very very determined to stay out of the business of peaceful shade outside of the Order but she knows things that other shade outside her hive have never spoken out loud. When this is pointed out to her she is very insistent that it never happened and perhaps one is mis-remembering. The conspiracy theorist believe that she could be the very First Shade or even their deity. Some have referenced books that have referred to an Apocrypa, the Eater of Worlds and Gods as proof but few every remember making that comparison within moments of making it. Member of the Udbayi’s Elite Hunter Group. Holds a variety of shade abilities and magical absorption abilities as far as anyone knows. Smug and somewhat full of herself this dragon-like creature is always hungry and always searching for something to someone to interest her.   

Jōrāgi, Member of the Ithetsa Grove. Partner to Echidna, The Mother of Monsters. He was the dragon who was sent into the Tangled Woods to locate the former Warrior Priestess Tuonetar. He still holds a bit of a grudge for the hoops she made him jump through before revealing that she was who he had been looking for. He an excellent spy and surprisingly enough manages to avoid much suspicion in spite of the excessively bright clothing he wears. He hangs out in Echidna’s workshop when he’s not got anything else to do. He has a whole stage worth of living puppets from her reject pile. Head of Ithetsa’s Spies. Holds the ability to be overlooked in plain sight and to find things that are missing. Bubbly, cheeky and absolutely up for any adventure. Jōrāgi is well loved by his clanmates.

She loves jewels and takes a certain joy in knowing that the some of her most admired pieces are remade from the spoils of her fleet’s raids. Specializes in implementing quick on-the-fly spell-casting that serves her well in the heat of battle or when she needs to obfuscate her features or those of her fleet.Imposing, indulgent and irresistibly alluring, she comes off as a sheltered princess of the clan but those in the know will never mistake her for unarmed..  .
