Synnara Flamecoil
Synnara Flamecoil
A Fire Dragon who allied with mortals during the War of Ash and Ember to defeat a mutual frostbound threat.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Synnara is a colossal Fire Dragon with copper-crimson scales that shimmer with molten underlight, like rivers of lava beneath volcanic glass. Her wings are veined with fire, and her long, serpentine tail coils like a lash of living flame—hence her name. Horns sweep back from her head in a crown-like arc, and molten embers perpetually fall from her chest and shoulders as if her very essence leaks flame.
Her eyes glow with a golden inferno, and her presence alone causes stone to sweat and steel to warp.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
During this climactic conflict between fire-aligned and frostbound forces, Synnara broke from the Dragonflame Concordat—an isolationist pact among Fire Dragons—and chose to ally with mortal kingdoms under siege by frost giants, ice wraiths, and the lich-queen Vetheriel of the Icy Wastes.
She became a pivotal force in several battles:
- Siege of Emberveil: Synnara immolated an army of frost-touched revenants using a meteor storm ritual, carving a fire-scarred valley now called the Ashcoil Trench.
- Treaty of the Thawing Stone: She personally brokered the uneasy alliance between dwarves of the Delve and the human mages of Eldhal, bringing unity to a fractured front.
- Battle at Frostspire Ridge: It was said her flame held back a blizzard summoned by three frost titans for three days and nights, allowing allied forces to strike at the heart of the enemy lines.
Morality & Philosophy
Unlike many Fire Dragons, Synnara was tempered, not by weakness, but by wisdom forged through fury. She believed that fire was not merely destruction—it was rebirth. To her, alliances with mortals were not acts of desperation but of strategic convergence: a means of shaping a world worth surviving in.
Synnara respected ambition, passion, and resolve in others, regardless of species. She despised cowardice and stagnation, especially among her own kind. Her philosophy was one of refined wrath—heat shaped into purpose.
Personality Characteristics
Representation & Legacy
Synnara Flamecoil vanished after the war—some believe she entered the Worldheart, a subterranean fire realm beneath Emberfall, to slumber until the world forgets frost. Others think she ascended into a flame spirit, becoming a minor elemental goddess of wrath and rebirth.
Her scales are relics, her name a rite whispered before fire-rites of war, and her teachings are preserved by the Emberbound—a draconic cult that views her as the ideal balance between power and purpose.
