Characters (dragons)

BOOK 1:

Gabrial: a young good-natured dragon, just nine Ki:meran turns (years) old, and referred to as a "blue" because of his overall colour pattern. The biggest obstacle to Gabrial's development is his overabundant impulsiveness, which often frustrates his mentors and superiors.

Galarhade: the Prime dragon, with a glorious red colour. He is 239 Ki:meran turns old when he takes command of the second Wearle to visit Erth.

Gallen: commander of the feared fighting wyng of dragons called the Veng. Like all Veng, his colouring is an uninspiring, but unmistakable bright green.

Gariffred: a blue wearling, born of Grystina. His choice of name is controversial, because it means 'flame of truth', implying he is closer to Godith than other dragons.

Garon: Gabrial's father.

Garret: a talented mapper, thought to be the best in the Wearle.

Gayl: Grystina's female wearling and Gariffred's sibling.

Gazz: a belligerent Veng.

Givnay: a greyish-coloured elder, the spiritual leader of the Wearle. Rejecting normal dragon life for one of meditative isolation, he is a powerful telepath and an expert in the art of i:maging.

Goodle: the only other mature blue (besides Gabrial) in the colony.

(per) Gorst: a mentor who teaches lessons in aerial combat among other things.

Gossana: an ageing and fearsome queen with an overinflated opinion of her rank. She has been sent to Erth to oversee Grystina's laying cycle. Dark green, with eyes that can change colour according to her mood.

Greffen: leader of the first Wearle to visit Erth.

Grendel: a young, beautiful female with touches of gold in her purple colouring. She is brought to Erth to assist Grystina during her laying cycle and beyond.

(per) Grogan: an aged cousin of per Gorst and a long-standing friend of Gabrial's father. He mentors Gabrial as well as carrying out mapping duties.

Gruder: a good-natured green roamer.

Grymic: herbalist, potion-maker and a studious practitioner of the healing arts. His role is to gather up Erth's flora and fauna and assess the benefits of what he finds.

Grynt: a tough, no-nonsense Elder with a streak of armoured silver on his throat and breast, which stands out against his overall light-purple colours. Grynt is responsible for the security of the Wearle and is the supreme commander of the Veng.

Grystina: a mature female descended from the Astrian line, who claim to be able to trace their lineage closer to Godith than any other family of dragons. She has been sent to Erth to maintain the Wearle's breeding programme.

G'vard: that rare thing, a white dragon. Huge, powerful and noble - a dragon that others respect and rally to.
