Wavebreak Watcher
General Lore: These dragons live along the coast of the Sunbeam Ruins, their influence spreading from the river mouth at the Hewn City all the way around to the northern shore. They prefer to live right at the edge of land, and make their homes where the crashing waves break upon their lair entrances. Legend has it that these beings are created when dragons are swept off to sea in a storm or by a sudden need for adventure. Finding themselves weary of travel, they give up flight and collapse into the ocean. All the strength they have left is used to get to shore, and they follow the shining aura of the Sunbeam Ruins to find it. When they finally wash up against the coast, the waves break against them, and they take on the visage of water and sand. Most do not leave the beach where they wash up, and spend their entire lives looking out to the ocean for other travelers blown asunder.

Habits/Personality: These dragons are considered odd by most others. They rarely, if ever, leave the beach where they wash up, and when they do, they react strangely to it. Even in the midst of conversation, they will break off speech to stare blankly in the direction of the nearest coastline. They do not normally seek the company of others, but this does not mean they shun interaction. Most are happy to be left alone with their vigil, but will eagerly engage in discussions of currents or sandcastle building competitions (which is a very popular hobby amongst the Watchers). Oftentimes, groups of Watchers will form their own small clans, as no others understand them as well as they understand themselves.

Miscellaneous Details: Wavebreak Watchers have some capabilities not found in normal dragons. They are able to hold their breaths for exceedingly long periods of time, allowing them to swim under the ocean for hours on end. They have an uncanny ability to always know the direction of the nearest coastline, which proves useful when they break off mid-sentence to stare towards the sea. Their fishing skills are extremely good, though that no doubt is due to their speed and agility when swimming through the water. While it may seem the Watchers are more Water than Light, their affinity with the sea is only heightened when they are on the coastlines of the Lightweaver’s domain. Upon travelling to any place besides the Sunbeam Ruins, their abilities are diminished greatly, proving their affinity with Light.
