Sohm: The spirit of the tides, Sohm formed the great reefs of the Lagoon Archipelago as a home for his fishy friends. There he played, content to stay hidden from the rest of the world. But when he and the other dragons fell into slumber, he awoke to find his once flourishing coral reef destroyed. He tried with all his dragon might to restore his beautiful reef and bring life and fun back to his home. Now, with his reef freshly renewed, he continues to expand his waters, welcoming all curious explorers to splash around in the water.

Nomsy: If you ask anyone in the Dragonlands, they'll tell you that Nomsy is a good girl. The bestest girl, in fact, thanks to the diligent training she received as the Dragon Academy's class pet. Now a recent graduate, this pup is all grown up, stronger than ever, and ready to put her training to the test! She's also very excited to see new sights, nap in the sun, and get ALL THE PETS.

Terra: When the Dragonlands were still raw and young, Terra was born in the hollows of the earth. They toiled in the vast underground, burrowing to shape the surface world in their own image. Though they had no shrine of worship, they felt the vibrations of the dragons above enjoying their work. But when the dragons lay dormant, they too were lulled by their silence, dreaming of grand celebrations honoring their work. Now reawakened, Terra has emerged desiring recognition, making themselves known through mountainous displays of power.

Swain: Once a Ragewing disciple, Swain spent years in the Dragonlands seeking forbidden magic. As his powers grew, so too did his ambition. The former pupil sought to attain a greater form, and in time, became forever transformed as a demonic wyrm capable of vile sorcery. Having betrayed his former order, Swain took flight toward a new land: the Darkflight Isles. To others, these islands were a vibrant, flourishing home--but to Swain, they are the seeds of his new empire. 

Zippy: Sir Zipinald Shadowchaser Whitewing, First of His Name, Harbinger of Dawn, Bardicus of the Bristlewood may be his given name, but the Guild’s loyal steed only ever answers to “Zippy.” And to say that he listens is generous; Zippy would rather launch himself headfirst into the midst of battle than attempt to comprehend tactics or strategy. But legend says, if you give him poro-snax, he might just grace you with his cooperation.
