The Weeping Dragon is one of the four escaped Dreadgods on Cradle. It’s cult members are called Stormcallers.
Origins
About two or three thousand years old, “born” long after the time Ozmanthus Arelius lived. A failed research experiment to control hunger aura. Created by Subject One in the Labyrinth under Sacred Valley. It escaped.
Descriptions
- Too powerful for anyone on the planet to kill. Even Monarchs cannot kill it. Thankfully, it sleeps a lot.
- “a long blue serpentine dragon that travels on thunderstorms, and sleeps on miles-long beds of clouds”
- “a kilometers-long azure dragon flew on a violent storm, moving like a hurricane toward a small kingdom” (Suriel’s view, Unsouled, ch 6)
- ”Ziel saw the shining dragon that flew on unnatural stormclouds of madra.” (Uncrowned, ch 14)
Sightings
Some years ago, probably before the Cradle series began, the Weeping Dragon flew over the region where the Dawnwing sect school was located, on the Iceflower Continent.
In Book 1, Unsouled, while hovering far above Sacred Valley, Suriel saw the Weeping Dragon: “On another hemisphere, a kilometers-long azure dragon flew on a violent storm, moving like a hurricane toward a small kingdom.” (Unsouled, ch 6)
Abilities
Aspects: Storm
Techniques: Living Lightning
Cult
The Weeping Dragon is followed by the Stormcallers, led by the Sage of Calling Storms. This is the thug who mangled Ziel’s spirit and led the slaughter of his Dawnwing sect.
Sacred Valley
The residents of the valley appear to know nothing of the dreadgods, except for maybe the ancient Sacred Beast, a snowfox called Elder Whisper. Nonetheless, the weeping dragon’s type of aura has been associated with the Greatfather, one of the four holy peaks surrounding Sacred Valley. The Dragon River runs down this mountain and into the valley. Elders at the Holy Winds School refresh and strengthen themselves in the rich aura of the sacred pool, Greatfather’s Tears. This is because there is/was a core of lightning aura at the base of the mountain, until Reigan Shen began his scheming.
