Malakyte's History

Rosaria Chaffe (her human name) is a young dragon whose mother hid her from hunters by changing her to human form. Found by villagers after the hunters left the hatchling dragon was raised by humans and forgot her true identity.

For years she has wandered from realm to realm. She made Everwind her home, finding friends and joining the clerics guild. As a cleric of Illustree she discovered a new role for herself, a way to contribute to others.

Then one day the dragon emerged though each form saw the experiences of the other only as dreams. The dragon became a weyrling among the ancients of the realm. After a time she undertook the quest for Ancient status.

Through the dragon religion of Thubanism her human and dragon selves approached greater awareness that eventually led to a union and integrated whole.

Malakyte found she enjoyed helping the new dragons to the realm and became a dragon mentor. Eventually she was appointed to the office of Ancient Preceptor.

Tragedy struck one day when an unknown mage interefered with the magic of the floating weyr and it fell, crashing into the land. The woods of Everwind were lost.

Things seemed to return to normal for a while, but residual magic from the incident changed the land and cast all its inhabitants out. For a time all in Everwind were without a home.

Malakyte as a dragon was lucky in that she could fly from realm to realm. She found TrinketStar, the new Queen and Maxious on the island of Aglarond. But eventually she became familiar with a land called Triskellion where many Everwind residents had settled.

The land of Triskellion was ready for new leaders and when she met the leader of the dragons, SnowBlind, he was impressed with her. She became leader of the Twilight Dragons with her friend Sierra as her second. Eventually she became SnowBlind's second as Regent of Dragons and was able to attend the council meetings.

Still a healer at heart she found her friends Alphonsus and Wren at the new clerics guild. Alphonsus had become the Speaker for Odin and Wren, Speaker for Parlamay. Both religions seemed counterparts for those in Everwind, Castan and Illustree.

Malakyte however had become so taken with the dragon philosphy of Thubanism that she had learned from the Dragon Queen Soo that she became Speaker for Thuban, and the new dragon religion was born.
