Biography
Quote:
Caldera was born into the Sunbeam ruins and into the worship of the Lightweaver. Most dragons however were merely casual believers that saw the deity as a role model or a great being for them to look up to. There were of course those that worshipped the sun god heavily. Caldera’s clan was not one of those. Her clan was one of trade primarily and was quite loosely organized. Anybody could come and go as they wish.
Caldera led an average childhood. She would frolic to her heart’s content. The great promenades of the Sunbeam ruins assured the room she needed as she aged. Caldera grew up tough and strong in her youth. She gained her scars rightfully through scuffles and through struggle as she grew up. She never thought too much in what she believed in and would talk to whoever might be listening at night. She would light a candle every night just in case somebody or something was watching. She would watch the beacon of light that was her homeland’s lifeblood far on the horizon and wonder, “What does he do to help us when we need him the most?”
The older Caldera got, the more she saw of the world. Her grand vision of prosperity and wonder quickly scattered to the wind as harsh realities set in. The world was not a kind place. People suffer and tragedies happen. She wondered once more, “Couldn’t they stop this? Couldn’t they help?” Caldera grew separate from her family as her faith waned. Most had blind trust for their gods, but why couldn’t she? She would be happier not knowing the suffering people endure, right? They wouldn’t have to face the threat of imminent destruction at the whim of a god, they wouldn’t have to defend themselves against their monstrosities, and they wouldn’t have to deal with the chaos their powers cause. Even without her faith, she lit her candle in the hopes that somebody might help, but she didn’t know who.
One day, Caldera met a young mirror. The mirror wore amber and had eyes of light. She seemed to sit and wait for Caldera to pass. The mirror was only a few years older than Caldera probably but had peace in her eyes. She had a look of absolution and of purpose. Her serene calm hid her intelligence and decisiveness. She had seen the signs of loss and of doubt in Caldera and had seen her candle as she spoke to the sky every night. The mirror’s honeyed words spoke to Caldera and held promises of completion and of purpose. Everything the mirror said made sense in some way to Caldera. The mirror spoke of the exact doubts that she had and even ones that she had kept to herself.
The mirror spoke of a being, a foreign god. It was not one that Caldera had ever heard of. Arenji was its name. It was not a deity in the traditional sense. The devotion promised gifts of safety and of reason. The goal of Arenji’s followers, according to the mirror, was the removal of the gods for the betterment of dragon kind. Caldera couldn’t agree with more of the Mirror’s beliefs. Everything she feared and questioned were being sated and being answered.
One night, on the first day of the Brightshine Jubilee, there was an exodus from the Sunbeam Ruins. Caldera, the mirror, and hundreds of Arenji’s new followers scattered to their separate corners of the realm and beyond. The light dragons were at their strongest and could thus move unhindered. The mirror moved South into the Shifting Expanse and into the Southern Icefield. Caldera travelled northward, spreading her word to those that would listen. She stamped out a few who tried to stop her. She burned these offerings every night to some degree to Arenji. She received many burns but only saw them as signs to continue. The burned a path into the Tangled Wood where she arrived at the Clan Melohn. She was met personally by a skydancer and an imperial that joined her into their ranks after a test of faith. The test was a forceful conversion of a stubborn fae. Fire works wonders for persuasion.
Over the years, Caldera gained a reputation. She was merciless and stubborn in her own right. She always gave those she squared off against a chance to explain themselves and repent however. A few see this as a weakness. Others belief it is a sign of waning faith. Caldera actually enjoys talking to those with a different viewpoint from her own and regrets having to destroy those who have a good argument, but she sees it as a necessary sacrifice. Her favorite adversaries are those with an open mind. They think about her purpose and reasoning and either choose to join her or not to. She is always fascinated by their reasoning. Others are not so interested and will often attempt to intervene when Caldera asks.
Once Caldera had proven her devotion time and time again, she was given the position of General. Her subordinates no longer questioned or intervened in her actions. She secretly misses that. She enjoys it when people question her reasons. If the adversary is willing to ask the question, then they are usually willing to entertain her response. She has gained scores of sympathizers and allies for Melohn and for Arenji. She has no enemies because they’re all dead.
Caldera serves faithfully and without reservation. She doesn’t raise her menace unless she intends to use it. She uses her position to talk to people and to question their beliefs. Her most powerful asset is most likely that she gets her enemies to question their own beliefs. She serves Arenji faithfully for hope of a better future for her, her friends, and for all those she knows or will ever know. The most powerful, or dangerous, individuals are those who know for a fact and without doubt that what they are doing in justified and right. Caldera knows in her heart that she is doing right for the future of dragon kind.
