Character History: Paladine, God of Light, Good and Redemption, created five forms that he created in his own likeness. Takhisis, his evil sister, stole and corrupted his creations into her own image, creating the first chromatic dragons. Grieved, Paladine asked the God of Neutrality and Creation, Reorx, to create monuments in remembrance of his lost children. Reorx sculpted Paladine’s dragons out of brass, copper, bronze, silver, and gold. Paladine breathed life into the sculptures, resulting in the first metallic dragons.
The Daughters of Paladine and the Sons of Takhisis became the first beings to populate Kyrnn, but they never bore any offspring for thousands of years. Eventually, Takhisis and Paladine bred with their own respective dragons, and grew a clutch of their own dragon eggs. While Takhsis had her eggs nested in her own infernal plane, the metallic dragons’ eggs remained on Kyrnn.
She decided to take Kyrnn for herself and sent out her sons to destroy the only threat between her and total domination. One by one, nearly all of Paladine’s Daughters were murdered saved for the gold Aurora, Aurican’s mother. Aurora in turn killed them all while protecting the nest, though the battle cost the matriarch her life.
Centuries after the battle, Aurican and the other dragons hatched. They lived in relative safety of their grotto, until a strange figure by the name of Patersmith appeared to them. He told them stories of Aurora and their mothers, of the long-lost magic, and the battles between the chromatic and metallic dragons, and how magic was lost with the death of their mothers. Eventually, they went out on their own and took up separate lairs in the various corners of Ansalon. Aurican took up an interest in mingling with the elves, and developed a passion for music and ballads, as well as lore the metallic matriarchs. His obsession with magic became the very defining trait among his brothers and sisters.
Meanwhile in the Abyss, Takhisis’ children with the first chromatic dragons hatched, with Crematia as the strongest of all of the red dragons. Gathering vast armies of ogres and balakai, she attacked the elves. This caught the male metallic dragons’ attentions, and they flew to the Khalkist Mountains to investigate. Crematia led an ambush attack with other chromatics, aided by magic, resulting in the death of the Blayze, Burll, and Smelt. Darlantan and Aurican barely escaped with their lives, and met up with the elf leaders for a plan. It was soon decided that the only way to stop Crematia and her forces was to fight with magic. Aurican and three elves that studied to gods went on a quest to find magic. In the meantime, Darlantan and the elves engaged in guerrilla warfare against the chromatic dragons and the ogres and bakali.
A decade passed until Aurican and the elves finally arrived with five gems with the color of red, blue, green, black, and white. With these enchanced dragonstones, Aurican and Darlantan and the elves have a fighting chance. They used these enchanted gems to entrap each chromatic dragon based on their scales. Eventually, only the blue dragons and Crematia remained.
However, the blue gem was stolen and there was a delay against capturing the blue dragons. While the elves were scrambling to find the stone, Aurican and Darlantan spotted Crematia and the blues. Aurican went after Crematia while Darlantan distracted the blue dragons. He killed two dragons before being chased by the remaining three into higher altitudes in the atmosphere. The aerial battle became so high up that it allowed Darlantan to take cover of three moons, colored in white, red, and black, suddenly appear. The blue dragons’ lightening breath blew craters into the moons’ surfaces. When there were no more moons to take cover, the blue dragons finally took the final advantage and struck Darlantan out of the air with their lightening breath. At that point of the battle, the elves regained the gem and entrapped the remaining blue dragons into the dragonstone. While falling from the battlefield, Darlantan brought shards of the three moons with him.
Crematia ultimately escaped from Aurican’s wrath, and he returned to the elves for news of the blue dragons. When learning of the conclusion of Darlantan’s battle, Aurican immediately rushed toward his silver brother’s side. Dying from the wounds obtained from both the lightening and the fall, Darlantan recounted his battle to Aurican.
Aurican told him that the three moons were the tombs of the three gods of magic who gave him the dragonstones, and that they were being punished by the other gods of their transgression. Understanding the power these small shards have, Darlantan instructed Aurican to take them and share them with their unborn children. Understanding exactly what Aurican must do, he swallowed all the shards and flew away to the grotto, his speed already aided by magic. Approaching the eggs, he gives the gift of magic to the unborn dragons.
Several centuries later, Aurican became the only pupil of Patersmith left alive, with all the other female dragons died from old age. At this point, he is taken to Siren's Port.
