Dragalia Shifter[edit]

A lone swordsman emerges form the forest with a new air of power, a spritely healer awaits her chance to end a bloody conflict, a dark clad knight chuckles to himself as he braces against what he knows to be his opponents final blow. A passerby feels the energy in the air as in the distance he hears a deafening roar, the flapping of wings, and finally silence.

All of these heroes are dragalia shifters a diverse group of warriors descended from the Kingdom of Alberia. Diverse in fighting prowess but all the same in their ability to forge pacts with dragons and harness their power. Rumor holds that the first dragalia shifter Alberius was born of the union of a dragonborn and a shapeshifter and later went on to rule a vast empire. This empire was said to be backed by the strength of seven great dragons who promised their power to Alberius in the form of pactstones forged from their bond of trust and friendship.

Keeper of Promises[edit]

Unlike a warlock’s pact with a deity or force of divine strength, dragalia shifters draw their power from making pacts with dragons, which allows them to borrow strength and even the form of a dragon for limited periods of time. When a dragon agrees to enter a pact with a dragalia shifter a new pactstone is forged from the power of their bonds of friendship and respect. This bond was long ago referred to as dragalia or the trust between shifter and dragon.

Wielders of Mana[edit]

Dragons are powerful creatures that each exhibit a powerful connection with a particular elemental plane. While in possession of a pactstone a dragalia shifter can siphon energy from these planes to call upon the form of the dragon with which their pact was formed. This borrowed energy is referred to as mana.

Creating a Dragalia Shifter[edit]

When making a dragalia shifter consider when and how your character discovered their ancestry and how they feel about the blood that runs through their veins. Also consider how many generations removed from the original dragalia shifter your character is, are you a direct relative who knows his story well or a distant descendant who isn’t even aware of his existence.
