Ezavion, the Storm Seraph
Demigod, Dragon Ascendant of Tempest and Trial
Domains: Tempest, War
Origin and Ascendant Role
Ezavion rose during the final hours of the Dawn War — his body struck down by celestial flame, only to rise again, reborn through divine storm. He became the embodiment of strength through struggle, a test born of thunder and answered through defiance.
Chosen by battle and forged by resilience, Ezavion represents might, willpower, and the tempest that tempers all. His was not the path of easy peace, but of unyielding forward motion and strategic resilience. Dragons once scattered now march beneath his call.

Echo of Creation – Skyfang, Spear of the Storm Seraph
Ezavion’s Echo is Skyfang, a lightning-forged spear inlaid with draconic sigils and stormsteel. It crackles with restrained fury, awaiting purpose.
Across its three stages of Dormant, Awakened, and Exalted, Skyfang bestows enhanced lightning attacks, battlefield mobility, and overwhelming aerial dominance. In its final form, Seraph’s Wrath, the wielder becomes a walking tempest, calling divine bolts from the sky and striking with the wrath of the storm itself.
Mythic Role in Eldareth
Ezavion’s name echoes like thunder through the war-memories of Eldareth's Dawn War. While Nelashra kindled resolve and Nyladria foresaw danger, it was Ezavion who rallied the broken formations against the onslaught of the Primordial Titans and their elemental hordes. He stood between ruin and retreat, a shield of storm that refused to break against titanic elemental fury.
He broke the ranks of massive earth elementals and water constructs with decisive, lightning-fast assaults, his roar splitting the storm-wracked skies above the battlefields. He carried banners across shattered skybridges amidst swirling air elementals, forged unity in the crucible of fury, and summoned divine lightning to cut down monstrous servitors of the Titans.
Ezavion’s might was not reckless — it was deliberate, strategic resilience against overwhelming elemental power. He struck when others faltered before walls of living stone or waves of crushing water, moved when others feared the Titans' unnatural tempests. His followers, especially the Shieldsworn of Clan Aegeron, still ascend the windswept peaks of Nymdrass, testing their mettle against trials mirroring the fury he faced and mastered.
And when they return? They bear his mark — not merely as conquerors, but as those who withstood the sky’s own test, proving their readiness by enduring its elemental wrath, just as Ezavion did against the Primordials.
