Guardian Dragon
An important city personality and adventure patron:
Naelere is a Very Old Bronze Dragon who has lived in a sea cave along the coast from Parsantium for 700 years or so. These days, she acts as an unofficial guardian of the city against its enemies both internal and external, rarely intervening directly. Instead, she advises the basileus of the day from time to time, and often points adventurers in the right direction to make sure the city does not come to serious harm. Naelere can be found in various places and several guises in Parsantium.
In the Old Quarter she poses as Jarwyn, an old male dwarf with a knack for carpentry, repairing ships and making sea chests, rudders and other wooden objects used on boats. While in this guise, she is able to keep an eye on some of the criminal gangs operating around the Old Docks and in the red-light district.
In the Mercantile Quarter, she appears as an elderly Batiaran woman, calls herself Irene, and runs a small shop dealing in antiquities and art objects called The Curio Cabinet. Naturally, this brings her into contact with adventurers wanting to sell loot whom she is then often able to steer towards somewhere she wants them to go, for example, by offering them an old treasure map for sale at a bargain price.
In the Imperial Quarter she is the young and very fashionable, air-headed Lady Viviana who lives near the park and is rumoured to have caught the basileus' eye as a potential mistress. Certainly, Thecia, Corandias' beautiful, cold and calculating wife, is prone to giving her filthy looks at the Hippodrome and when they cross paths at other public functions. In fact, Corandias’ interest is in what Lady Viviana can tell him about the goings-on in the city and their relationship is purely platonic. Since Thecia does not know this or that Viviana is really a dragon, she is busy plotting her rival's downfall.
Thoughts?
