Gilded Rishi

The Gilded Rishi stands as a legendary figure in the annals of Zephyr's Gate, celebrated for his valor and unwavering spirit during a time of great upheaval. Once the captain of the Griffin Brigade, he was chosen for his innate bravery and tactical prowess, traits that proved invaluable when the Red Drake launched its devastating attack on the city. At a time when the Sundering had removed magic from the world, the griffin brigade stood as the only defense against the drake's horrible onset of fire.

In the chaos of battle, he engaged the drake head-on, wielding a spear with unmatched skill and courage. It was during this fierce confrontation that he delivered a critical blow, permanently wounding the beast by poking out one of its eyes. This act of valor not only marked a turning point in the battle but also solidified his legacy as a hero of the city. However, despite his bravery, the Gilded Rishi ultimately fell to the drake’s wrath, sacrificing himself to protect Zephyr's Gate.

Today, he is venerated as a saint within the city, remembered for his unyielding bravery and selflessness. His story is told in stories and song, inspiring future generations to face their fears and challenges head-on, just as he did in his final stand against the monstrous drake.
