Fortior

Fortior, the ancient Bronze Dragon, is a powerful figure known for his unwavering strength and resolute loyalty to Autrix, the Grand Champion of the Order of the Dragon. His bronze scales shine with a metallic luster, resembling a suit of well-forged armor, each one bearing the marks of countless battles fought in the name of order and control. His presence is imposing and his form is muscular, exuding an air of authority and dominance that commands respect and fear.
A seasoned strategist and tactician, Fortior is both a warrior and a scholar, using his centuries of experience to maintain order and enforce the will of the Order of the Dragon. Unlike other dragons who might seek solitude or neutrality, Fortior is deeply committed to the authoritarian ideals of the Order. He believes in a world governed by strict discipline and absolute authority, where strength and power are the ultimate tools for maintaining peace. This belief has led him to pledge his loyalty to Autrix, serving as a trusted lieutenant and enforcer of the Order’s will.
In his Elf form, Fortior takes on the appearance of a distinguished, middle-aged soldier. His short-cropped bronze hair and sharp, silver eyes reflect his calculated intelligence and his readiness for battle. Clad in ornate white armor emblazoned with a golden dragon emblem across the chest, Fortior is the epitome of the Order’s ideals. The armor is not just a symbol but a functional tool of his enforcement, adorned with intricate engravings that speak of his high rank and dedication to the cause.
Fortior’s reputation as a fearsome enforcer is well-earned. He is known for his ruthlessness in combat and his strict adherence to the Order’s laws, often acting as judge, jury, and executioner when dealing with those who oppose or defy the Order. His breath weapon, a devastating bolt of lightning, is wielded without hesitation against those deemed enemies of the Order, reinforcing his role as an unwavering enforcer of its authoritarian regime.
While Fortior’s demeanor is stern and unyielding, his loyalty to Autrix and the Order of the Dragon is absolute. He views the Order’s mission as essential to maintaining the natural order, believing that only through strength and control can true peace and stability be achieved. He is often seen advising Autrix, his strategic mind and vast experience making him a valuable asset in the Order’s pursuit of dominance.
Despite his role as an enforcer, Fortior does possess a sense of honor—albeit one that aligns with the Order’s harsh doctrines. He respects strength and loyalty above all else and has little tolerance for weakness or dissent. His fortress lair, perched on a seaside cliff, is both a stronghold and a symbol of the Order’s might, filled with treasures seized from those who dared to oppose them.
Fortior’s presence is both a comfort and a threat—a protector to those who submit to the Order’s rule, and a nightmare to those who resist. He embodies the Order’s vision of a world controlled by power and fear, where dissent is crushed, and authority is absolute. As a loyal servant of Autrix, Fortior stands ready to do whatever is necessary to maintain the Order’s grip on the realms, believing that only through strength and fear can true order be maintained.
