Estarias is a Bronze Dragon, one of the last of her kind in Veiltouria, and a protector of Staghelm. Mate to Baron Romulon Greymane, Estarias is a compassionate but weary individual, who has seen the follies of mortals and knows better than to wait for their good will.

## History

Like all Dragons of Veiltouria, Estarias was born from the evil that is Obstinath. One of the few Metallic dragons sired by The Pale Rider, her egg was cast out into the wild as useless. Eventually hatching into the care of the Gold Dragon Belerig, she was raised amongst a group of other cast off Metallic Dragons, those being Silverfang Argenti, Brutannicus and Heimdallax. The dragon whelps spent the next few decades studying and learning from Belerig, who taught them the history of their kind and the continent on which they lived.

Eventually, Obstinath would realize he had a use for his Metallic spawn, the same spawn he had been murdering or casting out to exile for years. He soon began to send out waves of his Chromatic children to hunt down and return his wayward children to him. During one such raid, Estarias and her siblings were discovered. Belerig sacrificed himself to save the whelps, warning them to never fall into their fathers clutches. The young dragons then scattered, hoping to draw less attention to themselves individually.

Estarias then spent the next few hundred years hiding in the Saigan Forest. Over time, she grew to distrust mortals, as she saw hundreds of roving bands of warriors searching for her at her fathers behest. Seeing their feeblemindedness' and fickleness, her disgust for them grew, until she could hide no longer. Beginning to hunt her hunters, Estarias slaughtered hundreds of Crooked Knife goons, for a time content to hid out and wait. But time in the forest began to blur into one long moment, never ending, and her mind started to unravel.

Unsure if her siblings where alive, Estarias took to the skies hoping to find them, and herself. Instead, she was met by her Chromatic cousins, three Green Dragons who had been hunting her for some time. The servants of her father gave chase, finally dragging her back to the forest floor and attempting to capture her. Fighting with a fury born from her time in the forests, Estarias eventually slew all three attackers, though was critically wounded in the process.

Rushing to get back to her lair, she was ambushed on the journey by Romulon Greymane, a Wolfborn warrior who mistook her for a human hunter. Transforming to kill the Wolfborn, Estarias saw something of herself in the warrior and released him. The transformation back and forth took a toll on her wounded body, however, and she soon passed out.

Waking up in her lair, she found herself being treated by Romulon, one of the first acts of compassion she had received in centuries. The two soon grew close, Estarias feeling something she had never felt before, causing her to try and stay away as much as possible. However, her feelings grew to strong and she eventually chose to stay with Romulon permanently.

Joining his pack, she aided him in rebuilding Staghelm, as well as giving birth to their children Tamika and Skoldarion. Eventually, Staghelm became a haven for all Wolfborn and forest folk, and for a time they knew peace.

Tragically, the peace was shattered when Jaq Maelstrom and The Brotherhood of Valor laid siege to Staghelm. Before Estarias could intervene, her daughter Tamika was possessed by Jaq and made to attack Romulon, Jaq making it clear she would die unless her parents capitulated. Watching their daughter held her own razor sharp claws to her both, Both Romulon and Estarias surrendered, and were trapped under Jaq's spell.

After a group of adventurers called The Chaos Hounds freed Staghelm, Estarias regained control of her mind only to discover her son was killed in the battle. Heartbroken, she mourned with her family, then helped to rebuild the city. Following the siege, Romulon was invited to join The Guardian Council and Estarias was reunited with her brother Silverfang, who revealed all of their siblings lived in some fashion.

Now, Estarias helps her family in guiding Forestsedge to a better future.
