Abidan

"Though he be of feathers white and manners ill,
Abidan keeps the hunters fit to kill
So that when we go off to war again
We do not die like deer but fight as men."
~ Jackalope, describing Abidan.

Abidan is a bitter but well-meaning dragon. He is Clan Railclaw's primary medic and has some experience with complex medicine. He tends to the injuries of his clanmates diligently, sewing torn wings, cutting out infections and treating common ills of the body, even at the expense of upsetting the mind in the process. He is generally disliked by his patients, seen as rude and cold in stark contrast to the nostalgic words used to describe his "salty" and "colorful" predecessor, but he does not lie and uses his supplies efficiently and effectively.

Abidan has an odd sort of friendship with bowdrake Jackalope, and they tease eachother to no end. To harm one is to seek the wrath of the other.

-Events-
-9/5/17 - Abidan becomes the apprentice to Kyle, a mirror medic.
-10/14/17 - Kyle dies of old age.
-10/21/17 - Abidan leaves a scattering of dried flowers around Kyle's monument. He seems dissatisfied with the likeness, nonetheless.
-1/10/18 - Abidan gains some favor in Clan Railclaw as the executioner of an alleged attempted bomber. He is less pleased with this, and shares a few drinks with Drull afterwards. To be killed by a healer rather than more violent means was considered a merciful death by his clanmates, but a very dishonorable one.
-1/28/18 - Abidan notices a strange disease drifting through the region. Kelpie and Jackalope fall ill, but Drull prevents him from approaching Kelpie.
-1/31/18 - Abidan begins treating Marmor's strange illness in addition to Jackalope's. Between fevers, swellings and other such symptoms theirs seem to be very similar.
-2/6/18 - Marmor dies.
-2/9/18 - Jackalope seems to have recovered, but is kept at the lair's ward for observation.
-2/9/18 - Abidan begins treating Nemo and Tristan's injuries after a salvaging expedition. Electrical burns and moderate cuts are the worst of it.
-2/14/18 - Jackalope and Nemo are released from Abidan's care for now.
-8/22/18 - Abidan jokingly suggests to Nemo that he might be cursed.
-8/23/18 to 9/13/18 - Abidan flies to SorrowTown to aid Dullmist refugees caught in the crossfire of an inter-clan conflict, monitor quarantined dragons and beastfolk who are suspected of carrying Wonderland Fungus, and heal his clan's warriors when all is said and done. He finds himself intervening in an attempted assassination of the heir of the local duchy and tending to his wounds.
1/10/19 - Sorceare is wounded along the Empatheian border. He gives his report of the incident to Kthel, detailing the crossing of a small unit of Empatheian shock troops into Railclawer land. Sorceare is delivered to Abidan's ward to recover and receive treatment for his injuries.
