I have a fairly massive list of memorable NPC Dragons and House Strongholds from my games.

I have a fairly massive list of memorable NPC Dragons and House Strongholds from my games. I’m not sure ultimately what format is useful, but figured posting a few could help others, and get some feedback.

Up first is the ‘helpful’ professor from the GenCon Epy game, Sy.

Name: Professor Sy

House: Kebros

Age: Longtooth Dragon

Colors: Inky Black with red highlights

Looks: Sleek, scaly body with talons, a pointy snout, two rows of horns, and a stinger

Professor Sy is a smooth, inky Longtooth dragon loyal to house Kebros. He has two rows of horns get longer as they go back from his forehead, and he has red highlights on his wings and face. He has been known to bring an entire courtyard of playing drakes to a dead stop with his severe expression and unamused demeanor.

Sy is a sought after academic on matters of the Stone Moon, but his true calling (and regular job) is the education of young drakes that house Kebros deems as ‘Gifted’ in prophecy (such as seers) and in some cases, poaching such gifted youth from the other houses.

Sy is never seen without his harness and his black bag, which he guards jealously and often rummages in or idly rifles through. Whatever he keeps inside seems to be abnormally heavy for its size.

In my game, Sy stumbled across a rambunctious clutch playing in snow of the Blackrock Academy’s courtyard, and decided that they all, including his Kebros student, Draven, needed something to do. He sent them to fetch him a sample of black fluid at the bottom of a well in a mountain cave – A task complicated when a spooky giant owl abducted their talkative friend Rollatha.
