Stratiglynculcies Juvenile Silver Dragon Elegant and reflective, Stratiglynculcies has just begun to be amazed at the world around her. An avid traveler, she finds that the humanoid races simply astound her with the amount of knowledge and wisdom they can collect in such short life spans. While she spends much of her time in humanoid form (usually blending in seamlessly with any race or culture), she has been known to assume other

SAMPLE DRAGONS
Namhias Young Silver Dragon When older silver dragons try to impress upon youngsters of their race the importance of subtlety, level-headedness, and patience, they seldom fail as spectacularly as they did with Namhias. Some say this young dragon forced his way out of his shell weeks before his hatchmates. Whether that is true or not, Namhias has been in a hurry ever since. Easily angered by injustice or bullying, the young silver dragon rushes into combat at any real provocation. While he does try not to kill those he can subdue, sometimes he forgets the strength of whatever form he is currently in. When not displaying his full might as a young silver dragon, Namhias likes to prowl the mountains in the form of a large, lithe cat or a hulking human.
shapes in the pursuit of knowledge. Recently, Stratiglynculcies has taken to accompanying good-aligned parties of adventurers in expeditions to unexplored lands or ruined settlements. She often forgets what a “rush” these shorterlived creatures are in, however, and can be left behind when she spends weeks or even months studying a new find.
Lothirlondonis Young Adult Silver Dragon In his earliest youth, Lothirlondonis found he could not change shape as freely as his hatchmates. A kindly druid took him in and helped the silver hatchling develop his shapechanging skills. Ever since, Lothirlondonis has had a love for the forest and for forest creatures. He even pays homage to several nondraconic deities of the woodlands (such as Ehlonna) though he does not worship them. Lothirlondonis still spends most of his time in silver dragon shape but sometimes polymorphs into a fey creature and observes travelers who pass through his woods. If they show respect and tend toward conservation, he may aid them or protect them. If they do otherwise, Lothirlondonis does not hesitate to correct them.
