Hydras and dragons were once more closely related, and sometimes a little hydra blood reappears in dragons. Echo and Chime are of a small, bat-like sort that typically hunt at night, and when it comes to night vision, two sets of eager eyes will always work better than one. The only real issue they have … Continue reading Echo and Chime

Rowan has generally good skills in nearly all classes, but excels in one particular skill. This is, however, also his biggest failing.

But the ocean can be a fierce place and we see many youngsters coming here to learn … Continue reading Tidetail
