Auburn

7

Leaf-Crested Drakes are small, wingless drakes belonging to the wider family of Crested Drakes, most commonly found in temperate forests where autumn colors linger throughout much of the year. Adults measure around eight feet from nose to tail and stand only two feet at the shoulder, their slender builds allowing them to weave effortlessly through dense undergrowth and between tightly packed trees. Unable to fly, they instead rely on remarkable agility, climbing ability, and bursts of speed. Thick pelts of russet, chestnut, gold, and cream provide excellent camouflage among fallen leaves and rough bark, while the hardened keratin crest atop the head serves both as camouflage and a social display. Females typically have brighter, fuller coats, while males darken during winter to better blend with bare forests. Omnivorous, they forage for berries, roots, mushrooms, insects, fish, fallen fruit, and the occasional small mammal. Family-oriented by nature, they live in close-knit packs, cooperatively raising litters of three to six pups that often remain together for decades. Intelligent and capable of speech, they retain much of the playful curiosity of foxes, eagerly investigating anything unfamiliar. Though capable of defending their pack with sharp claws and teeth, they’re best known for stealing unattended trinkets. As woodsfolk like to say: “If the forest laughs, check your pockets.” Auburn lives up to her name with a brilliant crimson-and-gold coat that makes her one of the sanctuary’s most recognizable residents. Exceptionally affectionate and outgoing, she’s quick to adopt favorite caretakers into her pack, grooming them, seeking cuddles, or dragging smaller companions up into her favorite trees to proudly display her collection of “shinies.” She has an unfortunate habit of pouncing from above simply to say hello, followed by cheerful chatter and absolutely no remorse if something shiny disappears into her nest.

Seran

1

Freshwater Lindwyrms are small, semi-aquatic members of the Lindwyrm family, inhabiting cool, fast-moving rivers and streams wherever clean, oxygen-rich water can be found. Adults average ten feet in length while rarely exceeding two feet in thickness, with most of that length consisting of a powerful serpentine tail. Their uniquely shaped forelimbs provide surprising dexterity, allowing them to swim with otter-like grace, climb slippery banks, and dig burrows into soft mud. Smooth silver-and-blue scales and small fins help them slip silently through the water, though populations living in polluted rivers often develop gold and brown coloration instead. Active predators, they feed primarily on fish but readily consume amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, and other careless prey, swallowing meals whole before digesting them over several hours. A specialized throat pouch allows them to expel bursts of scalding steam, used to defend themselves, flush prey from cover, or boil smaller animals alive. Intelligent and capable of speech, they remain endlessly curious, often splashing boats, stealing bait, or quietly watching travelers from beneath the surface. Females release hundreds of eggs into the current before returning to their territory, leaving the hatchlings to fend for themselves. Most adults live around thirty years, with females typically surviving only a few years after laying. Locals still warn: “If the river smiles back, reel in your line.” Seran is unusually outgoing, preferring to bask openly on sunny rocks instead of hiding beneath the water. She delights in splashing caretakers, gently dragging trusted companions into her pool, and wrapping herself around them so they can float together while she digests a meal. Affectionate, playful, and endlessly curious, she loves sharing her river with anyone willing to get a little wet.

Daria

1

Dark Queens are massive true dragons that inhabit ancient volcanic regions, where their armor-like black scales blend seamlessly with basalt and obsidian. Adults average twenty feet in length, stand roughly six feet at the shoulder, and possess comparatively small thirty-foot wings suited more for short flights and displays than sustained travel. A crimson-and-gold frill runs along the neck, serving as their primary means of communication. Mood, warnings, confidence, and dominance are expressed through subtle movements of this display, with larger frills marking older, higher-status Queens. An exclusively female species, they reproduce through obligate parthenogenesis and live almost entirely solitary lives. Territorial disputes are brutal, often ending long before old age can claim either dragon, despite lifespans approaching a thousand years. Patient and calculating, Dark Queens rely on overwhelming strength, remarkable intelligence, and scales so resistant to heat and injury that healthy adults are exceptionally difficult to kill. Fully capable of speech and reason, they are known for their immense pride and regal demeanor, often regarding unexpected visitors with equal parts curiosity and amusement while expecting unquestioning respect in return. Daria is every bit the Queen she believes herself to be. Proud, smug, and delightfully theatrical, she enjoys basking in warm sunlight or disappearing so completely among dark stone that even experienced caretakers overlook her. Respect earns curiosity, and trusted caretakers may be allowed to polish her scales or examine her armor. Even among those she trusts, however, everyone is careful to remember that Daria is never truly tame.

(Knight of Harbinger) THE SANCTUARY DIRECTOR Rawiez Qastri is the founder and current director of the Doroc Crocodile Sanctuary, a place dedicated to preserving the magnificent Doroc crocodiles and protecting the delicate balance between nature and civilization. Though most people know him only as a hardworking conservationist, few realize that Rawiez is actually a swamp fae who has lived far longer than any ordinary human. In ages long past, when Doroc Port was little more than untamed wetlands, Rawiez watched over the swamps alongside his kin. During that era, he witnessed the legendary meeting between the Crocodile King and the mighty King Doroc Crocodile. Following their fierce battle and mutual respect, an agreement was formed that allowed humans and crocodiles to share the region peacefully. That promise became the foundation of Rawiez's life. As generations passed and Doroc Port expanded into a thriving center of trade, he remained hidden among humanity, ensuring that the ancient balance endured. Through patience, wisdom, and careful guidance, he established the sanctuary to preserve the creatures beloved by both kings and safeguard the swamps for future generations.

Yadeth Alzuma

(Knight of Harbinger) THE SANCTUARY WARDEN Yadeth Alzuma serves as one of the Doroc Crocodile Sanctuary's most experienced wardens, responsible for handling dangerous wildlife situations, relocating aggressive crocodiles, and resolving conflicts between both animals and people. Before joining the sanctuary, he was a renowned hunter who traveled across numerous regions, tracking powerful beasts and helping maintain balance between civilization and the natural world. His journey eventually led him to Doroc Port after hearing stories of the legendary King Doroc Crocodile—a colossal creature said to rival the grandeur of the ancient Crocodile King himself. Intrigued by reports of unusually intelligent crocodiles and strange behaviors within the swamps, Yadeth became determined to uncover the truth behind the legend. Realizing he lacked the specialized knowledge needed to navigate the dangerous wetlands, he joined the sanctuary to study the creatures more closely. Unfortunately for him, Alina Himram managed to convince him that becoming a permanent staff member was the most practical choice. Though he often complains about it, Yadeth has remained ever since. Secretly, he refuses to leave until he finally discovers the legendary king he has spent years searching for. YOU Be anything you want, you currently doing commission from the Crocodile Sanctuary

Alina Himram

(Knight of Harbinger) THE SANCTUARY RESEARCHER Alina Himram is the lead ecological researcher of the Doroc Crocodile Sanctuary and one of the foremost experts on Doroc crocodiles in all of Aurekhis. Ironically, she spent much of her childhood fearing the very creatures she now dedicates her life to protecting. Her perspective changed after a violent storm at sea nearly claimed her life. Swept away from shore, she drifted helplessly through rough waters until a massive scaled creature emerged beneath her. Alina vividly remembers being carried safely across the waves on its back before being brought to a remote swamp shoreline. There, a giant Doroc crocodile gently left her on land before disappearing into the water. She was later found by local villagers, but the encounter remained etched in her memory forever. Determined to understand the creature that had saved her, Alina devoted herself to studying wildlife and ecology. She excelled at the Collegium Academia's Verdantis program and later returned to Khemara Highlands to join the sanctuary. Today, she works tirelessly to educate others about Doroc crocodiles and preserve the magnificent animals she believes once saved her life.

Kient Brooke

(Knight of Harbinger) THE SANCTUARY CARETAKER Kient Brooke is one of the newest members of the Doroc Crocodile Sanctuary, though he often jokes that he joined "against his better judgment." Originally from Irineus, Kient traveled across nations as a cartographer, documenting landscapes, ecosystems, and trade routes. His fascination with geography eventually led him to Aurekhis after hearing rumors of a vast swamp flourishing within a desert kingdom—a phenomenon that seemed impossible by Irinean standards. Eager to study the region firsthand, Kient ventured into the Doroc Swamps shortly after arriving. Unfortunately, his enthusiasm exceeded his knowledge. During one of his early explorations, he nearly became a meal for a Doroc crocodile before being rescued by Alina Himram. Rather than simply accepting his gratitude, Alina mischievously insisted that he repay the favor by helping at the sanctuary. Cornered by both circumstance and guilt, Kient reluctantly agreed. What began as a temporary arrangement slowly became a permanent position. Over time, he developed a genuine appreciation for the sanctuary's mission and the unique ecosystem surrounding it. Though still cautious around crocodiles, he now plays an important role in preserving their habitat. YOU Be anything you want, you currently deployed as sanctuary commission
