He's annoyed that Kanata follows him around all the time but eh what can you do. At least he's not getting into trouble, for the most part.






This dragon is a member of the Fire flight subspecies Wildwood Phoenix and meets the very specific coloration and genetic criteria set for by the Fire flight.

Phoenixes were one of the Flamecaller's first creations during the 1st Age, created to embody both the destructive and the creative properties of fire, and serve as a symbol of rebirth. They were created primarily to serve as emissaries and messengers for the Flamecaller, able travel far from their homes without tiring or losing the magicks that sustained their bodies. Highly intelligent, incredibly resilient, and eternally self-sustaining, they represented the ideal flame.

The Wildwood Phoenix is a genetic offshoot of the Phoenix. These dragons originate from a curious group of Phoenixes that left their volcanic homes early in the 2nd Age in search of different food and climates, and instead discovered a whole new purpose. Upon discovering new growth amongst the ash and burnt out husks of trees left by the last major eruption, they decided they would bring that same new life to all the forests and jungles and woods of Sornieth. To that end, they spread far and wide, inhabiting every wooded area they could find, to serve as physical embodiments of the cycle of death and rebirth there.
To avoid hunting by the civilizations of the 2nd Age, they took to living deep within caves and cliff faces, emerging only briefly each day to warm their bodies in the sun, and at the end of their cycles to find the warmest place in the wood to die and be reborn. It is believed that almost all wildfires are sparked by the rebirth of a Wildwood Phoenix, signaling the culling of the old and the birth of the new. Eras in wooded areas can almost be counted by the lifespan of its guardian Phoenix(es).
