698. Ahreddan

Outside the ancient port of Artur is an enormous rock arch on a tiny island containing the crystal of Siraj the guide it is said to be one of his last shed tears before the giant was called to war On top of the arch stands Ahreddan the watcher a silver and green dragon from the far south he sees every ship coming in and out of the harbour making sure they avoid the hidden rocks At sunset the crystal awakens and glows rays of bright light coming from deep within its heart illuminating the safe path for the boats to take so Ahreddan can get some rest in his rocky nest For over three centuries he has watched over the port saving the lives of thousands in all weathers he doesn't care who the person is or what they have done he values human life above almost everything else They say that even when Ahreddan dies and his ancient body falls into the sea his stubborn spirit will return to his home on the rocks watching over sailors even in death until the very ending of the world
