Dragonas holds the high position of monarch mage in the court of the Eerie Nest, but his days are filled with sorrow. By birthright, he is bound to protect whoever occupies the Thorn Nest, but he hates the current queen of the Skyraces with all his heart. As a young man of noble birth, he socialized and befriended the eldest princess of the Skyrasians, Schendelezara, who was to be the next to take the throne. Tenderly and steadfastly he loved her, but when it came time to begin his studies, Dragonas plunged headlong into the mysteries of Skyrasian magic.
