Alden

the nation of igniflos was destroyed by the very thing that made them powerful, the ancient dragon that slept beneath the city. the mages, once reverred, were thrown into chaos. some executed in the street while others managed to sneak away quietly in the night after the destruction. others were maimed and beaten down until they wished they had perished in the attacks. lord aldebrand, a young mage from a powerful family, escaped by the skin of his teeth. severing his pillar-pinned tail and breaking his iconic horns, "alden" slunk away. for many years he hid his skills and his identity as he attempted to find a place for himself. his eventual use of his gifts would garner him attention and allow him to be the high mage alongside a noble woman whom he would devote himself for the rest of his days.
