Race
Dragon
Description
Pharrgon is completely gold in color. He is about 30 feet tall at the shoulders, has ivory teeth, six long horns on his head, and has a small, deep brand on his right shoulder that leaves his scales around it disfigured. He also has plated spines on his back that lie perfectly flat when he is undisturbed but will rise on end when he is agitated. The tip of his tail resembles an arrowhead and can open and shut like a pair of sheers.
Personality
Pharrgon has a complex personality and an abundance of thoughts and feelings. He is warm-hearted by nature, sympathetic and understanding. He has clairvoyant intuition which gives him a strong understanding of human nature and makes him a very good judge of character. He is mostly reserved and confides his thoughts and feelings to only a few that he trusts, and he can be deeply hurt by rejection or criticism from those he trusts. He finds conflict unpleasant and prefers harmony. He hesitates before raising unsatisfactory issues and, when he does, he makes every effort not to hurt anyone. However, if something is very important to him, he can assert himself with a doggedness bordering on obstinacy. He is an excellent problem solver and is very creative. He is practical and well organized and can tackle complex situations in a structured and carefully considered manner. He likes to get to the root of things and has a natural thirst for knowledge. Loyalty and permanent relationships are very important to him, and he will not put his time or energy into quick, shallow affairs or people.
Story
Pharrgon's story is indeed long and filled with adventure. He is the son of Talloan, a benevolent red dragon of renown who once served alongside Bowen the Great, King of the Wovlen. Pharrgon was barely 40 years old when Sharnilith, the abominable red dragon, destroyed the Wovlen kingdom and killed hundreds of dragons.
He met Dayspeaker Walneff Feldost during this time and formed a solid friendship with the man. From Walneff, he learned much about humanity, diplomacy, warfare, and friendship, along with a host of other useful things that would serve him later in life. He was Walneff's constant aide for nearly 60 years, fighting hundreds of battles, flying the length and breadth of the land, until it became too dangerous for dragons to roam the sky. With an aching heart, he retreated to the Dragon's Forest, along with others of his kind, rarely venturing out of those woods again.
Nearly 300 years later, sick of hiding, he finally left the Dragon's Forest. Within a few days, he found himself trapped and at the mercy of a skilled Wovlen dragon slayer. The dragon slayer meant to kill him, but Walneff came to the rescue and convinced the dragon slayer to spare Pharrgon's life. After learning that Pharrgon would play an important role in the future of the Wovlen, the dragon slayer, who was called Gilbowen, agreed to let Pharrgon live, but he put a brand on Pharrgon's shoulder before releasing him. He swore that the brand would be a sign to future generations and would keep others from killing Pharrgon.
Some time after that, Keegan, a young Wovlen boy, wandered into Pharrgon's lair. The moment that the small boy unknowingly fell asleep next to him, he loved him as his own. He knew beyond doubt that Keegan was the one mentioned in prophecy, and so he focused all his energy to train and prepare Keegan for the day when he would fulfill prophecy.
