Elytra

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
