Nyx
Nyx was born second after Apollo. She was born frail, and small. However her wings grew to be twice the length of her body. She has a mind for politics, and is skilled with magic.
After the death of Apollo, she was put through training to become the next queen. She grew to be a kinder leader than her mother, but with a bit more of a stubborn streak, and plenty of sass.
Jinx threw her a party to find a mate. Many suitors from the Shadowlands came. The most striking being an imperial, by the name of Drearian. He was a great deal taller, and very powerful. Jinx encourages him, he would surely make a fine king, and leader to her warriors. Nyx reluctantly accepted. She did it to please her mother’s main wish of mating with those of shadow. However her heart belonged to another. Tarragon, a dragon she had been friends with since childhood.
When Jinx left to travel, Drearian’s true nature revealed itself. He wished to remove the clan’s matriarchy, and instill a more patriarch way of life. He desired power, and to lord over the clan. The clan refused his orders, and his rage grew. Arguments between the king and clan members were brought before Nyx, and Nyx would settle them with ease. Drearian became annoyed with this, and regularly verbally lashed out at her. Nyx sought comfort with Tarragon, which led to the birth of her son Galdr. She named him heir, and lied to Drearian, claiming Galdr to simply have a lighter pigmentation that most dragons of ivory. Drearian was foolish enough to believe it, and boasted of his son. It wasn’t until he was returning to his den, when he encountered Nyx’s personal guard Gethen guarding the entrance. Gethen refused him entrance. Enraged, Drearian fought Gethen, and took him down. He came in to see Tarra, and Nyx together with Galdr.
At this moment it clicked, Drearian, if a fit of rage, confusion, and betrayal. He attacked the pair. He struck Nyx’s back, Tarragon was able to block any further attacks. He used his nature born power to entangle and subdue Drearian. Not before earning a massive shoulder scar. With Drearian ensnared in vines, and unable to move, the guards of the royal family imprisoned him. As the dust settled, and wounds were treated. It was found that Nyx was unable to move. With healing sessions from Maia, Nyx regained control of her body. However her legs were permanently paralyzed.
This did not render her from bringing trade into the clan. Under her rule The Murky Jade, now The Murky Steel, had become the most profitable it had in it’s history. She introduced the production of fabrics, the clan’s main export, and the production of jewelry alongside weaponry and armor.
