Starter: Dragon-lords Domain: Blind Seer
#1I don't have any cool name for this dragonlord yet, just a concept. This Dragon-Lady has the new moon phase, when the moon is blacked out, and, perhaps because of this, is blind. Where mortal senses grow sharper when one is lost, so, in a sense, does a dragonlords. With the loss of sight, she gained uncanny fore sight, and under her moon, can discover prophicies.
The prophicies are no more clear to her than anyone else, she can just go into a trance and come out of it remembering the prophicies. Hindsight can always reveal a prophicy to be true, but rarely can the truth of one be discovered before it has happened. She has predicted the apocolypses, the death of four dragons, and the life of the new worlds, and has only been upset in her prophocy once. When Phorse killed the dragon-lord of geysers (don't have a name for this one either), she did not see his death. Both the blind seer and Crysith have been deeply disturbed by this, for the seer knew of the conflict, but not the death, and Crysith can speak with the dead, but cannot find his soul.
The seer's domain is a scattering of islands in a cooler temperate climate, often shrouded in fog and mist. The seer's form is one of mist as well, and only rarely has she been seen, even when the dragon-lords united to drive the demons back from the apocolypse, she remained a misty cloud.
The people of her lands are the Gredis, humanoids with horned heads resembling sheep and rams. Before forming the nation of Gredis, they were often at war with one another, island against island, before a great leader brought them all to his heel. There is still a rigid caste society in place, and the horns on the head of a person decide his place in society. The only caste movement allowed is into the military formed by the leader. To unite the islands, he cut off his horns to become a Gredis of no tribe, and donned a spike crested helmet. The other tribes followed him and his warriors all cut off thier horns and studded their helmets with spikes. Many head butts from spiked warriors lobotomized thier opponets and won their wars.
The Gredis became a trade society, getting many things from other lands they could not make themselves, and trading some of the many unique products of thier lands to the other lands in return. When the apocolypse was prophosied to come, they ignored it to keep trade open. The blind seer went so far as to extend the protection of her lair over all thier islands, sealing them from anything getting in or out, but the Gredis approached her lair and protested this, claiming she was killing them because they could not trade. Even as the apocolypse raged, the Gredis laid seige on her lair, sending everything they had at her. Fighting two wars, inside and out, weakened her tremendously, and many powerful demons breached her protection, reducing the numbers of Gredis down from millions to a mere hundred thousand.
