Description

Please read and comment if you fave

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
--Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb


Anatomy of the hips is funked, but I can't sensibly fix it, and I'm unhappy with the wings. There'll probably be a second of these, the Silver Dragon belonging to ~Xi-Desolate-Demon-iX.

Anyway, Xeg-bhil, an early Blue dragon, one of the Goddess Blue's children. It is unknown what Xeg-bhil's gender is, but it's widely believed that it's a female.
She and Ilkin, a Niviz (see Tyn Soldier) together formed the first Dragon-Rider symbiote to fight against the once-great Wyrms of the Barrens, a few other Dragons and Niviz joined together, following their example, yet after the war was over the Dragons and their riders left the battle lands (what is now called Haringland) and Xeg-bhil and Ilkin, the first Dragon Queen and Rider Lord, founded Luidia.
The other dragons were driven out of Haringland in the following centuries by the Niviz, Haringites have been little fond of Dragon-kind ever since and vice versa, the far more recent war between Haringland and Caslana (known as Dragon's Blight) has only served to aggravate this.

The Ludian Niviz over time changed to suit their new environment, they lost the sickle claws of old; they became chunkier and the feet became more hand-like for gripping, accompanying this their tails lost the long drapes of fur and became flexible, unlike the Niviz, who's tails are stiff for balance. The Ludian Niviz became known purely as Dragon Riders, and more recently as Dradiders.

Xeg-bhil, after her death, became the Luidian Saint, and while they follow no God per se (though they do believe the Twins, Blue and Crimson were the creators of the Red and Blue Dragons, from which all of today’s breeds are descended from), Xeg-bhil's name lives on to this day, Lord Kenneth does not approve of devotion to her, and so it has become unacceptable to mention her by any name, and Dradiders, by the time Kenneth is usurped, will have mostly forgotten her, though the dragons continue to follow her lead. It is rumoured that Surmount, Kenneth's Dragon, could trace his lineage back to Xeg-bhil, however this is not widely believed, Windjammer the Strand Goddess is far more likely to be, or if not Windjammer than certainly the common Strand Dragons, which closely resemble Xeg-Bhil.

awesome shape overall, draws attenton away from the flawed areas; don't really notice them until you mention it.
