Welcome to my Lair
I, am Thelvynedaer Shadowmere, King of The Nation of Dragons. I am a true dragon of three colors. Gold, Amethyst, and Mercury. I have the skin of the Mercury, the psionic powers of an Amethyst, and the intelligence and wisdom of a Gold. I was chosen as the Great One's champion Long before I was even born. He nurtured me, and showed me how to use my talents well, though at that time, I did not know I was a dragon. I was in the form of what some said was a Half-Elf, and others said I was a descendent of the ancient Blackmoore. If you recognize my story, it is because I am the son of Thelvyn Fox Eyes, Dragonlord, Dragonking, and Dragonmage of Mystara. He is now the acting Dragonmage, and I have inherited the throne as his heir. My mother is the gold named Karendaen. She is a dragon of great faith, whose heart is pure.
Thelvynedaer was born in human form from his mother Karendaen. He was raised by the copper-skinned elves in the world of Shendor. His father, Thelvynaer, was once the Dragonlord of Mystara, then he was the Dragonking. But when Thelvynaer was the Dragonmage, he left the rank of Dragonking open. He decided that he was in great need of an heir. As he did in his earlier years, he loved one dragoness, and one only. Karendaen, sister of Marthaen, Marthaen being the leader of the council of Dragons.
As all of the Great Ones other champions, the new child must be born in humanoid form. Therefore, Karendaen was changed to the form of the ancient blackmoore right after conception. She spent nearly a year in that form, staying hidden in the forested highlands, where she and her unborn would be safe. When she first realzed her labor pains, she went to an ancient resting place called Shadowmere, and there she went into labor and had a son. She named him Thelvynedaer Shadowmere. Thelvynedaer after his father, and Shadowmere after his birthplace.
Karendaen left Thelvynedaer in a Thyatian town where he could grow up while learning the ways of the demihumans. That way, he could teach the dragons he leaded how to get along with them. He grew up with the hunting skills that the Thyatians had taught all of their male young. They thought that he had been abandoned as an infant, and a note was left with him saying that he would one day return to his true life. He believed that also, though he knew there was more because he looked like an ancient race of elf. He could not get the information he needed from anyone.
Thelvynedaer grew to be an adult elf, and decided that the only way was to talk to the dragons, as the prophets stated. As he was traveling, he reached a place known as the great resting place of mere shadows. Shadowmere! Thelvynedaer just knew that this was how he got his name. If the legends were true, then Thelvynedaer would match the description of the Dragonlord, except for the armor. It was said that the Dragonlord was truly a dragon in a demihuman form, and returned to Dragon form at Shadowmere.
Thelvynedaer entered the sacred resting place, and began to pray. He fell asleep as he was praying, and when he was awakened, he felt akward. He looked at himself as well as he could, and realized that he was now a dragon. He could not figure out what color, though. Then he looked up, and saw the outline of a great dragon, 5 times his size. It said "Thelvynedaer Shadowmere, I, the Great One, grant ye the crown as Dragonking of Mystara and Shendor." As Thelvynedaer arose, unsteadily, he was handed a crown by the spirit that spoke to him. "You must now return to The Nation of Dragons, and claim your rightful place as King."
So Thelvynedaer set off to the north, and began his journey to the throne of The Nation of Dragons.
