Amidst the secret groves and shrouded mists of Deeproot, under the arched roots of the Tree of Life Yaldain, slumbers Feythornaax, the Elder Forest Dragon. Born from the very essence of Arba's oldest woods, Feythornaax’s scales shimmer with the ever-changing colors of the leaves. Marking his ancient age, a long beard hangs like roots, while majestic antlers adorn his head like solemn tree branches. Feythornaax holds a sacred place in the hearts of the Lurikeen. As the guardian of the depths of the Forest of Arba and herald of the Lady of the Trees herself, he is revered as a semi-divine figure. The Lurikeen do not worship him in the manner of gods but honor him as the ancient protector of their home and the living symbol of the forest’s might and mystery.
Feythornaax seldom stirs from his slumber, but when he does, it is with the grace and majesty of the forest itself. His rare appearances are considered omens by the Lurikeen, inspiring their songs and stories, a living proof of an old age when the Lords and Ladies of Mundus walked the earth with mortals. Elders among the Lurikeen teach that Feythornaax, in his youth, once roamed freely across Mundus to fight the battles of the Lords. Now, wiser and less inclined to violence, his role serves as a figure of balance and renewal for the forests he embodies, teaching the master druids among the Lurikeen, Arverians, and Wood Alfar.
