"It is not the crown that makes the ruler, but rather the People."

A B O U T
Andromache is many things: a fighter, a healer, a leader, a scholar. They are the elected ruler of the Clan of Pine and Petrichor, responsible for protecting the territory, enforcing the clan’s Codes, and taking care of all of the dragons under their leadership. With their elegant silhouette and formal speech pattern, most dragons would easily assume that the skydancer is a high-born noble. But Sanctuary was not hatched a noble, instead proving their worthiness to their clanmates by fighting tooth and claw for them.

Though they are a fearsome fighter, they have a highly strategic mind and seek peace whenever they can. They research the tactics of leaders long past, preparing themself for any obstacle and placing the wellbeing of their clanmates above all else. Years spent patching up their own injuries have made them a proficient medic as well. Though they don’t always have the luxury of a light touch, they can keep a dragon calm until help arrives.

Dragons often look to Andromache for strength and guidance, as they are a bastion of calm even in the direst of straits. However, underneath the composed and well-spoken, if a bit solemn, exterior lies a dragon with fears and worries like any other. They are prone to bouts of insomnia and night terrors, and spend many of their evenings pouring over old scrolls or sparring in the training grounds.

Though they have a reputation for being very straightforward and honest, they rarely share any of their personal struggles. Only their fellow Guards and a few clan members who knew them before they were a leader occasionally glimpse what lies beneath their unshakable facade. Their role is not always the easiest, but they are dedicated to doing the best for their clan.

H I S T O R Y
Andromache was born an undersized mirror in a place locals called “The Titan’s Ribcage,” the skeletal remnant of a massive emperor that had decimated the surrounding region some centuries before. They were scarcely out of their egg when they were taken away from their homeland to avoid a particularly aggressive strain of virus that would later claim their mother. Though the act saved their life, it was frowned upon by Plague law and ensured that they would never return to the Scarred Wasteland.

They spent their formative years in a Light monastery, immersed in the world of vast libraries and scholarly pursuits. While they would leave when they came of age, enamored by the stories of adventure and curious about the world beyond the four walls they were raised inside of, they would forever retain their desire for knowledge.

They came across a Light clan during their travels, led by a fae who was known at the time as Lady Queen Aurelia. The clan was lacking in fighters and, at their request, they were apprenticed to an aging mirror who would teach them to fight. Their hard, crystalline pelt acted as a form of armor, and under his tutelage, they grew into a shrewd and vicious fighter.

By the time their mentor retired, they had blazed up the ranks and earned the respect of their peers, taking his place as Commander of the small band of fighters. They returned to their scholarly roots, reading countless books of strategy and learning the tactics that would best allow them to lead the soldiers that looked to them for guidance.

Tragedy struck when the Queen’s estranged son, seeking vengeance on her and poisoned by Shade, attacked the clan. Andromache and her fighters pushed back valiantly, corralling the intense, corrupted magic long enough for Aurelia herself to subdue him. Many lives were lost that day, including those of most of the fighters. Those that remained, Andromache couldn’t ask to continue.

In the aftermath, while Rook and Andromache were still binding wounds and gathering supplies for those who chose to move on, a trio of mercenaries passed close to their territory, camping for the night. The clan had already spoken of leaving the ruined territory, once those left were well enough to travel. The three dragons agreed to guard them along the way, protecting them from wild animals and bandits looking for weak targets.

But when the clan settled down in a coastal forest in the fringes of the Dragonhome, the trio settled down too, forming the Sanctuary Guard with Andromache as their leader. They would eventually grow quite close. Not long after, the Queen formally abdicated her position, and the dragons present clan elected Andromache as a leader for all of them.

Though some have chosen to move on in the decades that followed, the clan has seen many new members. For some dragons, it is a temporary stop in their journey, a place to rest their wings before moving on. For others, it is a place to rebuild their lives and make a new home for themselves, as Andromache has done. They care for them all the same.

During a particularly nasty skirmish some years later, a skilled harpy mage hit them with a spell that transformed them into a skydancer. In the process, their integument changed to soft feathers mottled with white and only the occasional patch of crystal. Stripped of their bone-crushing teeth and nearly invulnerable hide, they have become a bit more cautious with their life but no less dedicated to protecting their clanmates.

A D D E N D U M
Their only in-lore descendant is Rasti.

During their years of apprenticeship, Andromache had a brief courtship with a dragon that was passing through the clan. It was ultimately ill-fated, leaving them with an egg they had no idea how to caretake. They had pushed themself to learn many disciplines over the years, but none had included rearing hatchlings.

Overwhelmed and unprepared, they allowed another dragon to nest and hatch the egg, one with much more experience. Andromache watched from a distance, convinced that the hatchling would be better off without their interference. They did train him when he began to show interest in fighting, but even they could tell his heart wasn’t in it and he eventually moved on to join a different clan.

Andromache has not heard from him in decades, but they hope that he is doing well for himself.
