Non-Playable Characters
This page is dedicated to those Non-Playable Characters of BTACD's worlds; characters that can be used by anyone in plot-based, lore-based or historical. They can be used as various plot devices, random encounters, and much more! Their bios, pictures and status will be listed below.
Many of these have affiliations with various Official Player Groups or attachments to other lore. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our staff or ask publicly in the plot sections of Discord!
These NPCs may also be used as quest givers in our official quests, which give excellent rewards both IC and OOC. Have fun!

About:: Bayu is a large Aeria (wind) Aethyrian dragon with a teal wind element; they are a softspoken, gentle individual who may be found in many places, though tend to serve as a diplomat and ambassador to other Imperial Kingdoms, seeking alliances, passing messages, and gathering information. Most often, Bayu sports limited jewelry that displays the Galedancer crest, a show of their status, though when away from any cities this may be missing from their person. They have no preference on gender, and do not mind being referred to as either he/him or she/her.

Gender:: male
Occupation:: god Ward to Time; time-traveling viewer of past events
About:: So commonly known his name is often used to warn children to be on their best behavior, Fate is an individual who is not as ethereal and legendary as one may think; he is a dragon, born of egg, who began life much like any other. However, he was chosen very early on by Time to meander the worlds' pasts and futures, and is known to be the Realms' oldest non-divine individual. He has lived more lifetimes and seen more years than any other immortal in recorded history, and is the only one who is known to be in multiple places at once - frequently. He is also one of the most well-known name-givers, arriving to grant those deserving their honorary surnames.
Gender:: female
Occupation:: a teacher; travels to different small villages to give education to young Luxian dragons, mostly about history
About:: Helena is a young Aethyrian dragon of the Luxia (light) element, sporting a pink elemental color. She has an immense interest in history, especially in celestial artifacts or objects from other Realms, and is overjoyed to share her discoveries and knowledge with others. She travels both in Luxian lands and the Heartlands in Aethyr, teaching young dragons their history and looking for new things to learn herself. She is not affiliated with any House and has no noble blood.
Gender:: male
Occupation:: the Keeper of Lore; an immortal Aethyrian who keeps a constant record of history, also called the Chronicler
About:: The Keeper of Lore resides in a great Tower in the Moonlands, surrounded by magical mirrors where he may look into and see goings-on in any part of Aethyr. He is blessed with unusual immortality and has been alive for as long as written record has existed, and is assumed to be one of the gods' chosen for this specific task. Many come to seek his knowledge, but very few are allowed an audience.
Gender:: male
Occupation:: wanderer/adventurer
About:: Often found wandering the wilds of the Realms, looking both for rare artifacts to add to his collection, items for trade, and gemstones to utilize to sustain his life essence. Has the ability to enchant gems to do the same for others, and often has a store of rare items - as well as knowledge - to share with those who wish to help him on his quests.
Gender:: female
Occupation:: a Seer in Alubria. lives alone, without a Flight.
About:: Born with the Sight, Lynaera was never really part of her birth-Flight. From the start, she would prophesize the death of her clanmates and foresee accidents that never happened; her Sight was wayward and troubling, thus she was exiled to the northern lands. She will tell your fortune for a price - but whether it is true or not, only Fate can decide.
Gender:: female
Occupation:: teaches small children of D'issan; very fond of true elves. unskilled in the art of war.
About:: Though no soldier, this pure elf is enthralled with the art of swordsmanhip and dragonriding - so much that she teaches young drow and other elves the history of Felnova's many battles and sieges. A wonderful strategist, she also has a darker side... one that arises with the moon's vieled dawn.
Gender:: male
Occupation:: leader of a War pack in Kurai
About:: Silvessenk is a brutal, terrifying leader who thinks the only way to bring order is through the threat of death. Enamoured by Chamenos, he was once willing to go behind his own Lord's back to further the King's cause. He is dangerous, excessively so, and will kill anything that stands in his way.
Gender:: male
Occupation:: cultist
About:: The leader of a large group of Dark Five worshippers; a cult named the Divine Order of Storms. He is a malicious circadian dragon who has pledged to Dhath, and guides his followers to free the Dark Five wherever and whenever they may. Though he stays in the shadows, pulling strings, his power is far-reaching and the spiderwebs of his influence run all across the Realms.
Gender:: male
Occupation:: wise old hermit.
About:: Very old and very irritable, Thracius is an eastern who would rather send all inhabitants of the world off to far distant places, so that they would leave him well enough alone. However, there is a reason for this - and that is that he aspires to be a great dark mage, on the likes of this world has never seen... yet all of his experiments go wrong, and he is often in need of supplies.
Gender:: male
Occupation:: rogue. seeks battle, those stronger than he.
About:: A great Red with two powerful sets of orange-webbed wings, Tradonar is a force to be reckoned with. He actively seeks new battle-partners to fight alongside or against; a heart of fire and brimstone, some would say. But this Red would never hurt a child, nor a female of any species. He is a gentleman to all who don't share his love of infinite war.
Gender:: male
Occupation:: Ether Spirit of the Dark Realm
About:: Daama's brother, unique in the fact that he is a shadowbeast with no shadowbeast blood, born of two gods - Zacyn and Scylla. He is the current Ether Spirit of the Dark Realm, and a somewhat chaotic individual; he flips between the highs of sarcasm and upbeat, biting jokes, to the lows of deep depression and guilt. He almost never leaves the Dark Realm any longer, and has become somewhat more reclusive in recent years.
You may read auxillary information about him here.
Gender:: male
Occupation:: wandering spirit.
About:: Once the great god of Sun and Moon, Zacyn now resides as a spirit content to watch over the Marker, its Guardians, and his partial Soulgem in the depths of Talon Peak.

Gender:: male
Occupation:: an elder in the Vehn Pack. narrowly escaped the Summoning, now serves as a subordinate.
About:: He was once Kakrau's Bretak, or Beta, and a leader among the Vehn. The ice-swept North stole his energy an scarred him beyond healing; though a few years younger than his former companion, he holds an elder's rank. Kuhto loves to give younger creatures small quests to do, and oftentimes gets others to help hunt behind the Vehn leader's back - for were he discovered, he would surely meet death.
Gender:: male
Occupation:: in the Onyx Faction's Council; skilled assassin.
About:: Lord Nakayrin is a well-respected member of the Onyx Council. Once ruthless in his assassinations, he has grown older than he would have liked (though he is but middle-aged by both reptillian standards), and now leads and trains others in the same. Quick to anger and quick to kill, the Black Shriekan resents everything - especially his own heritage.
Gender:: male
Occupation:: the Elder Keeper of Phobia; one of the oldest and wisest members of the Phobia element
About:: One of the oldest of the Keepers, Skraem is a heavily scarred, blinded Aethyrian dragon with the element of Phobia; his element is the bright, bloody scarlet of the markings on his face, a vibrant hue not found anywhere else on his body. It's said that when he was younger, he could hypnotize prey by using a mixture of his magic and the effect of his markings, so long as his victim was staring into his unblinking eyes. However, since losing his sight, he has all but lost this ability. His disorienting, fear-inducing breath is still something to behold, and despite its fearsome nature, he is a very calm and quiet dragon.
Skraem is also one of the few Elder Keepers who has no noble blood whatsoever. He looks with disappointment upon Phobia's current Imperial House, as his cautions are nearly always ignored. His Herald is a severe and stern male named Nymare (NPC), and his Apprentice is a younger female named Lull (NPC).
