Toadie

Toadie

Clan Healer // Medicine Maker

Toadie was born on the spookiest night in Sornieth- All Hallow’s Eve. She crawled out of the Mire, covered in algae and mud, right in front of the Skyreach expedition team. Hrathr apparently screamed and backed away from the advancing creature, but he denies this entirely. Elle was said to snort in surprise, while Kiran flew down to inspect the strange beast. Hrathr followed his lead after deciding that the coast was clear. It soon became clear to the group that the walking ball of Mire was actually a tiny Guardian hatchling, and Kiran made the decision to take the poor dragon along with him. Hrathr declared the dragon’s name to be Toad, but Elle amended it to make it a bit less slimy. That was how Toadie came to her new clan.

Through some quirk of personality, Toadie acts like every single day is part of a never-ending Halloween. She speaks in a vague, slightly mysterious tone and is always lurking around in the shadows somewhere. When she shows up in The Clearing with a delivery of medicines and herbs, she tends to scare the hatchlings quite badly. Toadie will frequently make a deep, alligator-like rumbling noise when annoyed, and most dragons in the clan know to steer clear of her when they hear the terrifying sound.

The Guardian lives alone in a swampy cottage that is hidden away along the border of Skyreach. She decorates her yard with spiderwebs and bones, and she grows evil-looking herbs in a series of lumpy gardens. Her property is surrounded by marshlands on one side and a black iron fence on the other, which adds to its creepy charm. The inside of Toadie’s hut is covered in drying herbs, sinister candles, and scrolls written in a scrawling print. Its centerpiece is a giant black cauldron, complete with bottled ingredients and an assortment of knives. All of it is a good reason as to why she doesn’t get visitors often.
