Wyrmguard Evoker

Origins

The Wyrmguard Evokers are an ancient order founded under the patronage of the Ironscale Dragons, revered for their impenetrable scales and indomitable will. These Evokers undergo a sacred rite, bonding with a fragment of draconic essence to become living shields on the battlefield.

History

Throughout the annals of Alavir, the Wyrmguard have stood as bulwarks against chaos and destruction. They have turned the tides of wars and quelled magical storms, their presence alone often enough to deter would-be aggressors.

Bonds

The Wyrmguard share a deep spiritual connection with the Ironscale Dragons, often consulting them for wisdom and guidance. They also form alliances with kingdoms and magical guilds, offering their protective services in exchange for resources to further their studies of draconic magic.

Role in Alavir

In Alavir, the Wyrmguard serve as elite guardians of sacred sites and powerful artifacts. They are also called upon to protect royalty and high-ranking officials in times of crisis. Their mastery over defensive magic makes them invaluable in sieges and large-scale battles.
