Thalassa

Tales of lost dragons, lost souls abound around Sornieth. None more so than in the Southern Icefields. Full of dangers, even for those born in the harsh land, it quickly weeds out the weak, leaving only the strong to thrive. Yet there are those, the Lost, that many swear to have seen wandering about the ice. Regardless whether or not they are pure spirits as many claim or whether they are still flesh and blood, the Lost belong to the ice. Their bodies have undergone changes in order to survive. Each variant is at a different stage within this change.

Even those born in the Southern Icefields are not exempt from the ice. Though the Icewarden is often logical and unemotional, he is not without mercy. Those that survive the transformation are often stronger than other forms and the madness seems to affect them less. They don’t go through less pain, but being born in the Southern Icefields seems to give them a bit of an advantage, though they are still solitary creatures for the most part, often used to being alone.

Physical Attributes ::

These dragons are- or have- undergone an extremely difficult and agonizing process whereas their bodies have become frozen, essentially, though it is more complicated than that. Their very DNA has changed. They do not melt in warm weather but they are VERY uncomfortable in warmer climes. Because of this transformation, they are extremely tolerant of physical pain.

Social ::

Many of these Lost Souls are feral beings; the pain driving them made until the transformation is complete and even then the madness can- and often does- remain. Even if the madness recedes, it is rare to find them living in groups. They are mostly solitary, occasionally mating with another Lost Soul. For the few that find themselves in a clan, they keep to themselves and are often aggressive against those that try to befriend them.

Lairs ::

Rarely live in lairs; they travel over the Southern Icefields, finding shelter only from the very worst of the cold. If shelter is needed, they use whatever is at hand.

Tactics:

Feral hunters, they use ambush techniques and sure ferocity to surprise their prey. Very rarely work together. Those who live in an actual clan often act as a kind of shock troop or berserker.
