Airigold (ˈɛrɪɡoʊld)

Airigold is a majestic Ancient onyx shadescale dragon characterized by his stunning jet-black scales that shimmer in the light. His most striking feature is the shiny golden accents that adorn his body, giving him the moniker "Golden Claw" among humans.
Airigold is not only revered for his magnificent appearance but also for his wisdom and bravery. He stands as a co-author of the esteemed document known as the Draconian Concord, which is foundational to the relationships and treaties between Ancient Dragonkin and humans. Along with Draco Null, Airigold's intellect and experience significantly contributed to the formulation of this vital agreement.
Airigold played a crucial role in a grand and perilous quest alongside two other allies, Sphyii and Taavi. Together, they embarked on the essential task of capturing and imprisoning the notorious Wyrm of Chaos. Their efforts culminated at Frostcrest, where they successfully contained the chaos that threatened the world. Airigold's wisdom and strength were invaluable in this endeavor, marking him as a pivotal figure in the ongoing battle between order and chaos.
