A vision unfolds, the mission is clear; Set sail to the end of the world"

Even in his youth as a Fae, Wraith was never one to conform to the whims of his clan. He dreamed of adventure, of danger and glory... views not shared by his parents. He left when he was rather young, taking his childhood friend Saeichi with him. She shared his lust for the unknown, and agreed to follow him wherever the winds took them. Young and reckless, the pair of them- but that mattered little at the time, for they were finally free to do as they pleased.

Their first home, as decided by his friend-turned-mate, was a small alcove in a bamboo-covered grove in the Zephyr Steppes. It was protected from the harsher winds of the Crescendo, and offered enough in terms of natural resources. It wasn't much, but for Wraith, it was perfect.

After they got settled, it wasn't long until Saeichi bore her first clutch, three perfectly healthy-looking eggs. Wraith was over the moon, already planning out names and trying to remember as much as he could about raising hatchlings from his birth family. His mate was amused by his excitement, doing her best to keep up with him. Nerves building as the supposed hatchday came and went, still they waited with baited breath.

The eggs never hatched.

It was a gloomy day when they buried the eggs. The Crescendo howled in the distance, intermittent clouds spitting rain over the freshly-dug soil. Saeichi was torn, trying to comfort Wraith in any way she could, but he was devastated. He had dreamed of freedom for so long, of raising his own family and going wherever the winds took him, but that dream seemed so far away now. His hopes were just as dead as his unborn children.

He left the Zephyr Steppes the morning after, the air thick with fog. No notice was left for Saeichi, he was so distraught in his grief that the thought didn't even cross his mind. Heavy wings carried him across the seas to the Tangled Wood where he set up a small camp to overlook the ocean. Wraith had no idea what he was doing, but he knew he needed to get away- just being around his mate was too painful right now— but even so, where would he go? What would he do?

For the first time in his life, he felt completely alone.

Night fell, and with it, the terrors came. Ambushed in his sleep, Wraith was attacked by a rogue band of brigands, thinking him easy prey. He fought them off to the best of his ability, eventually driving them off by camouflaging himself in the dense underbrush. He managed to walk away with minimal injuries, the major thing suffering was his pride.

Wraith took to the road after that encounter, taking note that his experience was far from a rare occurrence. Well-off clans all around him preyed on the weak, abusing their strength in order to maintain the status quo. Just witnessing it made him sick, and not being able to do anything about it made him feel even worse.

There was nothing he could do... yet, at least. He needed to get stronger- both to protect himself, and the less fortunate.

Steeling his resolve, Wraith came back to the Windswept Plateau several moons later- only to find his nest abandoned and his mate missing. Cold dread gripped him, though he knew it was only fair that she didn't stick around to wait for him. He busied himself with foraging for food for the larder, and after a few days, Saeichi returned.

...Though, he didn't recognize her at first. Gone was the tiny blue Fae he grew up with, instead donning the visage of a powerful red Wildclaw, shadowy purple veins running down the length of her body.

After a brief reunion, Saeichi revealed that she also headed for the Tangled Wood after Wraith left— but instead of wandering, she gained the affinity of the locals, learning alchemy and medicine brewing from a group of Shadowbinder acolytes. She clearly was still torn about Wraith leaving, her anger and sadness was palpable, but she seemed different. Happier. It hurt him to admit, but she really did seem better off without him.

So, he told her, and she agreed. They were always better friends than mates, anyway, so the loss he felt didn't cut too deep.

The question now was, where did they go from here? Staying in the Zephyr Steppes was not ideal, both of them had ambitions that burned too bright for the dreary plateau. Saeichi offered a solution in the form of a cave she had stayed in while travelling, sheltered by the coast and the many pillars of the Reedcliff Ascent. It sounded ideal, and the morning after, their meager belongings were gathered as they made their move.

The sun was just cresting the coastline as they arrived, painting a beautiful picture of their new home.

AELLO YLDROTH
mate
cunning • brash • joyous

A once rogue pirate who was taken into the Corsairs after a storm, Aello quickly took to Wraith's boundless adventurous spirit. Their relationship remains strong, both proving to be a loyal and loving partner to the other. They make a terrifying combination, raw magic and brawn strong enough to tame the wind itself.

AURUM YLDROTH
firstborn twin
prideful • boisterous • sly

The first of Wraith's eggs to hatch along with Almandal, Aurum decided to stick around the Corsairs with his blood family. Wraith attempted to train him as his successor, but his son wasn't interested— instead finding his calling in (admittedly shady) merchant work. He takes after his mother in his attitude, and is incredibly prideful of his bloodline.

ALMANDAL YLDROTH
firstborn twin
sweet • cunning • crafty

Although Almandal was hatched mere moments before her twin brother, Wraith is surprised at how different she is. She isn't interested in running the clan, but helps out in a myriad of other ways— helping his ex-mate with all of her duties, for one. He's proud of her and how far she's come, even if she likes brewing poisons a bit too much.

SAEICHI
ex-mate
wise • quiet • solitary

Though she helped start the clan when it was first founded, Saeichi split apart from Wraith to focus on her alchemy and sorcery development. Her alchemy is the cause of his sudden breed change from a Fae to a Ridgeback, which he is ever grateful for. They remain on good terms... most of the time; her penchant for keeping her work vague frustrates Wraith to no end.

SCARLEN
successor
kind • loyal • spirited

After his son showed no interest in leading the Corsairs in the future, Wraith started training Scarlen to take over the clan for him. The young dragon has much potential, his wanderlust and love for his clan made him the best contender for head of the Corsairs. Wraith is fond of the lad, and trusts his good nature to shepherd the clan forward.

SYDNEY
nemesis
narcissist • suave • decadent

After he was kicked out of the clan due to his extreme methods and affinity for manipulating others, Sydney took to sending his mind-controlled thralls to attack the Corsairs. It has proved ineffective thus far, but his incessant focus on their clan makes Wraith worry for their future— odd occurrences have been happening as of late, leaving his clan on edge.
