"I will show you fear in a handful of dust."

"A dragon with a heart of gold and a passion for truth and righteousness, she has a paladin's fury. Her whole-hearted drive is to see the world safe from the corruption of the Shade. She wants her children, when they die, to rest peacefully without the threat of becoming undead. She is quite impatient." - ixris

Verso spent her early days training with her mothers, always impatient for the next lesson, the next challenge, eager to combat anything that threatened her loved ones, whether with talon or spell. She couldn't wait to grow up, to find a place of her own to defend and protect, and she was jealous of the younger siblings who had already found positions in other clans.

It was Eldritch who gave her a destination. The secretary told tales of the clan he came from on the island of Prufrock in the Starfall Isles, stories involving ghosts and spirits, and Verso determined that she would be the one to exorcise the spirits and make the island safe for dragons again. It took some convincing to get her brother to come along with her, as he liked to take his time to come to a decision, but finally he was persuaded and they set off through the barren expanse of Dragonhome, traveling south, carefully hoarding the water they carried with them, making it last until they reached the eaves of the Tangled Wood. They had never seen a land such as this, dark and cluttered and damp. The siblings no longer had a straight view of where they were heading and were soon lost.

Experienced in the supernatural thanks to the training their mothers had given them, the wildclaws were quick to sense that there was something wrong with the grove of pines they stumbled into - a sense of ancient malevolence, and their presence had awoken it. Regardless, the hatchlings were worn out from traveling on unfamiliar surfaces - the boggy ground was so different from the solidity of their homeland - so they built a fire and vowed to take shifts keeping watch. They overestimated their own abilities, though, and hadn't realized how sleepy spending all day in the shadows would make them, so before long, both hatchlings had fallen into slumber.

They awoke wrapped in roots which were slowly pulling them beneath the surface. Biting and clawing had little effect, and they were unable to use their magic effectively in such a state. Then they sensed another magic augmenting their own, shadowy tendrils weaving into the roots and parting them from their prey until the small wildclaws were able to wriggle free.

Verso and Bound turned to find a bespectacled coatl standing in a magic circle of his own construction. With a final flourish, he completed the incantation and sent the spirits back to their own realm. The coatl Visk was concerned to find two hatchling siblings wandering the woods alone, especially hatchlings from another region who were unfamiliar with the terrain and flora of the Tangled Wood, which annoyed Verso. Perhaps he had caught them in a moment of weakness, but she and her brother were strong - they were from a proud heritage and could handle any spirit. She told the coatl of their plan to travel to the Starfall Isles and rid an island there of the spirits infesting it. When Visk expressed an interest in traveling with them to see the island for himself, she wasn't sure if he was genuinely curious or just wanted to watch out for them. She hated being looked down on, but she accepted anyway, and was soon grateful for the older dragon's company, especially as they crossed the border into the Scarred Wasteland and the landscape became even more alien and strange.

It took longer than the wildclaws had anticipated when they studied the maps in the library in their home clan, but eventually the exorcist trio arrived at Lantern Port and took the ferry across to the island of Prufrock. They were astonished by what they found there, however - tree spirits, sea spirits, moon spirits and underworld spirits, all out in the open, wearing the guise of dragons and interacting with the clan's residents as if there was nothing unnatural about it. What's more, these were no minor spirits, easily banished. Even Verso had to admit that she didn't (yet) have the strength to handle spirits with that much power, though that didn't stop her from trying in secret. The spirit, one of the underworld ones, merely grinned at her in amusement, though afterward the clan leader Ez took her aside and asked her to refrain from any actions against the various parties of spirits if she wanted to remain here on the island; they were in the midst of delicate diplomatic discussions, and any hostilities might damage what progress they'd made.

Ez and the other residents hadn't anticipated what the effect would be of so many powerful spirits congregating in a relatively small location in the material realm, however. It made the boundaries between the realms weak. The dream mages were the first to notice, as the boundary is always thinner in the dreamscape than in the physical plane, but soon other spirits began to penetrate the divider that separated the worlds. Some were merely curious or had wandered there by accident, and Verso, her brother, and Visk were easily able to send them back. Others spirits, however, arrived intent on wrecking chaos or seeking revenge, and those the trio had to destroy or forcefully banish, often with the aid of the most obscure spells the clan's librarians could find in the crumbling texts of the archives.

Though Verso also has a talent for banishing spirits, she is the member of the trio who utterly destroys all traces of the especially malevolent spirits that the exorcists deem too dangerous to merely banish.

The exorcists are currently working on building up the boundaries and restoring them to their previous state so that fewer incursions occur. When Verso and Bound's younger brother Shadow joined the clan and began exploring the tunnels that ran underneath it, he made them aware of additional weak spots beneath the surface that they are working with him to shore up.

When Verso and Bound's younger brother Tome had his first nest, they were dismayed that an earth spirit managed to break through their wards and attack it. The first-hatched, a wildclaw named Ayla, was possessed by the spirit, and while they sealed it within her as best they could, she later left the clan to seek out their mothers in Oakrest in the hopes of completely eradicating it; the other, a coatl named Quercus, suffered from severe seizures. The exorcists hold out hope that their mothers can cure their niece and deeply regret that their precautions, extensive as they were, still weren't enough to protect their own family.
