Elytra is a dragonborn battlemind/warden and a follower of Bahamut. Her scales are a silvery-blue color, and she looks somewhat different, more bear-like, than the average dragonborn.

She is a very large, defendery character, though she focuses more on brutally bashing evildoers with her mace than protecting her allies. She deals frost damage by way of frozen whetstones and her natural frost breath, causing cold vulnerability that works well with Chrip's frost magic.

Background

In the winter of 2939 in a small village in the Free Cities, dragonborn twins hatched with scales of frosty bluish silver. One was named Elytra, and the other, Alae.

An ancient prophecy told of the two silver dragonborn. Many of the details of this prophecy had been lost to time, but one thing was clear: one of the two would die to protect the other from a great evil. In an attempt to protect them both, they were separated from each other soon after their hatching and taken to distant lands.

Elytra was trained in the ways of the psionic battlemind. On her fifteenth birthday, she willingly completed a ritual to tie her spirit to that of a polar bear in order to further increase her endurance and combat ability. She then left her teachers to travel the world.

After almost five years of living in the wilderness, only occasionally returning to town to restock on supplies, Elytra found herself in the midst of the Battle of Silverstone. Her strong sense of justice made her unable to resist joining the battle against the Far Realm, so she joined forces with the Challengers of the Unspeakable to protect the city. She continues to assist them in hunting down the forces of evil that threaten the world.

Alae's location is currently unknown.

The Prophecy

Originally, it was believed that there were only two stanzas to the prophecy. Within the lair of the silver dragon Orantis, however, a stone plaque was discovered that bore a longer version, revealing that what was previously thought to be the entirety of the prophecy was merely the first and last stanzas.

As spiders weave, the shadow falls
And dead gods will we mourn
Within the land of cities free
Shall silver twins be born

But through deception and half-truths
Shall they be split in twain
For only through their broken bond
Can the world be safe again

By frost and fist and steel and spells
The one shall find her way
While blood and rage in snowy peaks
Led the other one away

In ancient land they’ll reunite
While the world holds its breath
Their mind and muscle combined to fight
The shadow beyond death

As chaos looms they’ll battle foes
With all that they can give
But one must sacrifice herself
That the other one may live
