Skaravojen

In 321 YK, an assassination attempt came particularly close to depriving the Church of the Silver Flame of it's current Keeper of the Flame, Traelyn Ghelios. At the behest of High Cardinal Syketel, House Vadalis magebred (or created) a special guardian to protect Traelyn and all future Keepers of the Flame. The result was Skaravojen, an ugly six-legged beast that the Cathedral's guards have started referring to as a "dragonhound". Skaravojen is the only creature of its kind, and the secrets of its origin are kept safe by House Vadalis. Skaravojen is a gentle, obedient creature most of the time. When it perceives a threat to the Keeper, however, it attacks viciously and is single-minded in it's duty to protect the Keeper of the Flame. It will fight until either itself or the threat to the Keeper is destroyed. Although it is capable of showing affection, Skaravojen never forgets its duty. which is first and foremost to protect the Keeper of the Flame. When a Keeper of the Flame is replaced, Skaravojen immediately attaches itself to the new Keeper and holds no particular loyalty to the previous one. If the Keeper dies while under its protection, Skaravojen hunts down the Keeper’s slayer tirelessly, not stopping until it has avenged it's charges' death. Although she carries the burden of an entire nation on her slim shoulders, Jaela adores Skaravojen and at times engages it with games of fetch. Most of the clerics and cardinals who operate within the Cathedral give Skaravojen a wide berth, even when it’s apparently in a good mood.
