The Rootfather
Perhaps not truly kin to Sesh, Garrylondryth is a green dragon dubbed The Rootfather. He is of Herald Rank. He heals nature, replenishes wasted lands. He’s not inclined to warfare, but to healing and nurturing the war-torn world, so his alliance with Sesh is probably not based in shared philosophy. Eithan Arelius seeks his help in restoring his ravaged homeland on the Rosegold continent.
His Enemies
His greatest enemies are The Beast King, a human Herald who befriends Sacred Beasts and keeps dragons out of the Wastelands; the Monarch Northstrider who hunts dragons; and House Akura, who vie against him for control of the entire Ashwind Continent. His specific enemies in the Akura clan are Herald Akura Fury and Monarch Akura Malice.
His Path
Seshethkunaaz follows the Path of the Wasteland and leads the Dragon Faction. He believes that survival of the fittest should be the world's only law. He is vicious towards humans, wiping out entire human villages. He wants the entire Ashwind continent, but Akura Malice has the western half. (Uncrowned)
His History
Gold dragons have a natural affinity for fire and water aura, but Seshethkunaaz was born in the desert. An exile, he was left by the rest of his kind to die.
He was found by a group of human nomads, who saved the dying dragon and raised him as part of their family. He formed a contract with one of their children, providing him with enough pure madra to dilute his spirit. With time and great effort, he was able to change the nature of his madra and embark on the Path of the Wasteland. He and his contractor were raised as brothers, and they advanced together at great speed.
When he reached Underlord, he took on a human form like that of his contractor. His adoptive parents shortened his name to Sesh, introducing the two of them as twin brothers, and explaining Sesh’s remaining draconic traits as part of his Goldsign.
For years, they remained content. Until Sesh’s brother killed a child.
In a conflict between hot-tempered boys, Sesh’s young contractor lost his temper. He struck a Lowgold, forgetting his strength as an Underlord. His victim perished instantly.
In many lands, an Underlord would not be held responsible for any actions against a Gold. But the laws of this nation prohibited the murder of anyone regardless of advancement, and the young victim was the descendant of a powerful clan.
Sesh’s family fled in the night, but they were soon caught. Sesh’s brother was executed for murder, reckless use of power, and fleeing justice. (Presence Report, Uncrowned, book 7)
