Dun Keiba Drak Caverns
While the human habitation
of Dun Keiba most often rests above ground and in houses or keeps, villages
and even small cities, the Draks of this area have their own ways of
keeping house.
Each Drak's cavern is
often warmed by the geothermal vents below many mountains. However,
many Dun Keiba Draks also like to house themselves out in the open,
on the sides of the warm sandstone cliffs. Equally prefered are wallows
in the hot dusty savannah grasses, so it is not uncommon to scare up
a whole Armada of Draks out of their slumber by riding by an otherwise
unremarkable field.
Many Draks live alone,
however mated pairs often share the larger and more handsomely appointed
caverns. Especially those which are Paired with a human rider, Draks
enjoy having their fresh water or a shelter from the breeze in chill
weather. Knights and their Draks often bed down in the same cavern,
separated by a heavy door or doorway and tarp keeping winds out of the
small human rooms.
At this time, in Dun
Keiba's caverns, one can reach many Knights,
Squires and Draklings from the main Drak Hall. These are their duties
and general info. (2023 I am trying to figure out why there's 2 pages of these people, lots of duplication, sorry - these mostly are unbonded draks, or npc self-adopted characters for reference. All, however, are part of the active fighting Armada.)

Drak, Age, Information |
Duties |
Appearance and Personality |
High Knight Dunstan, Male, 64 |
Fire Etdenma, 50
Once rather rude, but now calculating and sensible.
|
Armada Training, Judging Aspirants |
Tanned skin, salt-and-pepper black hair that's fairly short and straight, brown eyes.
Dunstan is a secure, firm-handed man who doesn't like to see wastefulness, and is fairly demanding on his Aspirants and Armadas alike.
|
High Knight Aylene, Female, 41 |
Day Nysyph, f, 25
A cheery, rather abrupt drak with aspirations of motherhood.
|
Armada Training |
Darkly tanned skin, pale platinum hair that is very tightly curled and quite close-cropped (a white afro), dark eyes.
Somewhat opposite of her drak, Aylene tends to concentrate on things with a frown, and rarely entertains her notions of fun. She is expert at tactics and commanding.
|
Knight Jinty, Female, 29 |
Water Enthurn, 11
With a sweet attitude, helps assist her Knight.
|
Armada Leader |
Red-Tan skin, darkly brown hair of shoulder length that's mostly straight, amber-brown eyes.
Jinty is a keen-eyed, stoic woman of little patience for failure or frivolity. However she adores her Drak, and will listen to her calm council when she needs help.
|
Knight Rowan, Male, 32 |
Earth Urncheu, m, 14
His headstrong will and repeated attempts at working things out always keep Rowan and he at the top of the flight list.
|
Armada Wing |
Pale skin, medium-back length straight red hair, and bright green eyes.
Rowan is a go-getter and has rarely failed to achieve things he's set out to do. What he wants, Urncheu always helps him to get it. Urncheu has a mate, Ore Solailo, and they have a nest whose hatchlings Paired with one of the Squires below.
|
Knight Emris, Male, 27 |
Forest Bandurn, 11
Happy Bandurn is rather fluff-headed, but loves to fly and can hit things at quite a distance.
|
Armada Wing |
Such black skin that you'd have to see it to believe it, with long, straight violet-black hair, and eerie yellow-orange eyes.
Emris is as exotic as he looks inside and out. While paired to a female drak has its advantages, he is used to the jibing that goes along with his sexual tendancies. He'd rather hang out with Almiron than his sister...
|
Squire Olen, Male, 19 |
Ore Troetash, m, 5
Clever and secure, always backing his rider up.
|
Senior Squire to Jinty, Armada Training |
Tanned skin, bright blond hair in waist length curls, pale brown eyes.
A sweeter looking lad was never born - but he's quite capable of putting up with Jinty's harsh requirements, and always lives up to expectations of drak-based skill.
|
Squire Yasenia, Female, 17 |
Water Broedlye, 5
Keenly interested in everything around her, and very motherly.
|
Junior Squire to Dominica, Healing Trainee |
Dark skin, tan color hair that is wavy and waist-length, bright blue eyes.
Striking in appearance, but rather subtle and shy compared to her Knight Dominica. Practices herbalism and will be exceptional for field-medic work.
|
|
Night Umundsul, m, 3
Sneaky enough to annoy Dunstan, smart enough to pass his testing.
|
Junior Squire to Dunstan, Judging Trainee |
Medium tan skin with freckles, orange-brown hair that is straight and sticks directly out from head, dark brown eyes.
Always into things, especially trouble. A prankster who managed to get onto the dunes and Pair. Unexpectedly talented in reading new Aspirants.
|
Squire Tazmond, Male, 14 |
Mud Orkaloeu, 2
Offspring of Earth Urncheu, the word of reason (or is it doubt) when Taz wishes to do something rash.
|
Junior Squire to Emris, still learning everything |
Bronzed tan skin, pale blond-silver hair that is fluffy and neck-length, pale blue eyes.
Perhaps it was Emris' desire to get closer to Taz, but he's perfectly at home being the strange man's Squire. Inquisitive, perhaps to a fault, always questioning everything he hears or has to do.
