Artie Reagan's Links
The Reagan Family is an old and noble family of Crafters who have long practiced the art of life gem extraction and refinement, blessed by Raziel as a form of magic enhancement. They are able to safely remove a Stardragon's main gem with no consequence to the dragon's life and even temper the magic inside naturally to resonate more with its owner. Artie is currently the only one of the Reagan family to know this technique, but during a lapse of judgement, allowed her favorite nephew Haavar glimpse some of its components as well. That was apparently all he needed and with that knowledge, he cracked the code and fled the area, leaving the Reagan family in ruins.
Haavar comes from a long and distinguished line of capable Crafters who have been blessed with gifts from Raziel. These gifts were passed down to those who the elders deemed worthy of each new generation and one such gift was the art of life gem extraction and refinement. However, Haavar did not receive this technique; he stole it from his aunt Artie and fled the Great Expanse. Ever since, there has been a bounty on his head and his name has been struck from the family records.
