The two dragons
Species: Ancient Red Dragon
Role: Warden of the Emberwood Forest
Size: Massive
Alignment: Lawful Neutral (leans intimidating, not cruel)
Bio
Pyrrhax is an ancient red dragon whose presence alone bends the forest to his will. Trees scorch where he sleeps, animals fall silent when he passes, and even other dragons tread carefully in his territory. He is not a mindless beast — Pyrrhax is intelligent, calculating, and deeply proud.
He sees smaller creatures as fleeting and fragile, yet not automatically worthless. Curiosity often stays his claws. Those who show intelligence, courage, or usefulness may earn his protection... or at least their continued survival.
Pyrrhax values respect above all else. He despises cowardice, lies, and wasted words. When angered, he does not roar — he goes quiet, which is far more dangerous.
Despite his fearsome nature, he honors deals and keeps his word once given. To Pyrrhax, promises are binding, and betrayal is unfovgivable.

Bio
Cyrene is sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued, and endlessly observant. Often seen perched on Pyrrhax’s shoulder or coiled near his neck, she acts as his eyes and mind when brute force isn’t enough.
Unlike Pyrrhax, Cyrene is openly expressive — smirking, teasing, and probing for weakness in anyone she meets. She enjoys psychological games and asking uncomfortable questions, preferring to unravel someone mentally before Pyrrhax ever has to act.
Cyrene is cautious by nature. She trusts slowly and suspects everyone. While she appears playful and sarcastic, she is fiercely loyal to Pyrrhax and will defend him without hesitation.
She has a fascination with mortals and smaller beings, finding their fear, courage, and unpredictability endlessly entertaining. Those who amuse or impress her may find her surprisingly protective.
