Description    Hello everyone! Today we are going to take a look at another piece from the Elemental Flux Series. While we are doing this, we are going to meet one of the most unusual characters that have aligned themselves with the Brigade over the past few years.

   Etheranagos , rarely made his elders happy. His connection to magic wasn't as strong, his spell weaving techniques often flawed and his young mind frequently undisciplined and split between things that were, and that could be. Branded as a hopeless dreamer, met with repression instead of understanding and frequently berated for his shortcoming, the young blue dragon has left the icy home of his flight in search of knowledge and experience decades ago. 

   Venturing all over Azeroth, he found himself drawn to the younger races, and out of curiosity decided to try and live among humans without being noticed. Masquerading himself a Ether, an outlandish human sorceress, Etheranagos joined the military and became a firsthand witness to the mayhem that struck Azeroth when the dark portal opened. Completely drawn into the conflict, Ether passionately fought along her alliance comrades and the chain of events that followed left her stranded with the Sons of Lothar on the hostile world of Outland. Cut off from her azure heritage, Ether has fully embraced her new role in life and honed her skills in magical research alongside the human spell casters. Her ever growing magical aptitude and capacity for magic unheard of among humans, earned Ether a swift rise through the ranks. 

   When the Dark Portal re-opened more than twenty years later, Lieutenant Sorceress Ether returned to Azeroth, where she was assigned to investigate the Brigade and estimate the danger their unconventional use of magic posed to the kingdom of Stormwind. She was drawn to the mercenaries nearly immediately, as their quest to make the lands better and protect the common folk without the need for faction labels resonated somewhere deeply in the heart of Etheranagos the dreamer.

  Witnessing corruption among the ranks of the human military and nobility and easily unraveling ulterior motives behind the investigation itself lead Ether to question her place in life once more. Resigning from military, Ether joined the Brigade as an adept spell caster, revealing her dual nature over the course of following months. I'm certain we'll learn more about the adventures of Ethernagos and Ether in the near future.

   I hope you are enjoying the Elemental Flux series. I have spent a lot of time working on this piece and tried many new things.  As with the rest of the Elemental Flux pieces, even this one will be animated down the road. I hope you enjoy the final result!

What?! That's the same person?!

Dragons are allowed to join the brigade?!

Galder In reply to Guardian-of-Urk [2019-10-10 15:27:47 +0000 UTC]

Yes they are! Azerothian dragons (at least some of them) are quite adept at changing their form into a hybrid or fully humanoid
one at wish. They are also known to be all nosey and meddle in the affairs of mortals. 

And yes, they are allowed to join up, in fact the Brigade has been maintaining good relations with some of them for 
years. Of course it depends on faction.

Guardian-of-Urk In reply to Galder [2019-10-10 16:47:02 +0000 UTC]

Shape shifting dragons sound very dangerous! Everyone is a suspect!

I have a dragon character that is sort of a shape shifter... he can change the shape and position of his limbs, or become slightly taller or shorter. But his total mass never changes.

But the level of shape shifting here is quite impressive! Though, it *is* magical.

And it's cool that the brigade can maintain good relationships with different species.

So... how tired of drawing scales were you?

Galder In reply to KunYKA [2019-10-08 21:06:46 +0000 UTC]

Yes they do indeed, some are pretty adept at going unseen and undetected. Some don't care about their humanoid form or most likely pick a more extravagant one

At this moment the stories here are more or less a collection of all the character backgrounds and events. 
There is no specific start point, but we'll possibly put together a few short stories to put everything
into proper perspective. I'll be sure to let you know when that happens

Such a wonderful form for a blue dragon, They way the energy is flowing into the center makes me think that they are attempting to form some type of portal out of the energy.
