Dragon - Vortex

Media: Photoshop digital painting, lightning photograph (by me!), rain brushes by ObscureLilium.
Character: Orth 'Vortex'

Print: available through my Redbubble and Zazzle accounts.

Orth, the great blue dragon of the Stormdrake Pass. He's of a similar age to Bloodbane, though considerably smaller at about 350ft when shifted to full size. His common name is 'Vortex', earned by his tendency to cause the skies to rage and bring forth tornadoes when he attacks. He's perfectly capable of spitting lightning but prefers to have the weather do the work for him, battering and weakening his enemies before he swoops from the torrid skies for the kill.

Fortunately this doesn't happen often. On the whole Orth is laid back, patient and more interested in the study of magic and other races than wanton destruction. Orth's curiosity does not equate to sympathy however and when Bloodbane and the green dragoness Witchblight chose to attack the human-dominated Empire, he sensed a turning point looming where perhaps the steady eradication of their kind could be halted. So he was more than willing to assist in defence of his species, becoming the third of the Seven. After the War of the Seven ended he retired back to his mountain home. It is assumed he resides there still, but Orth has learned to shapeshift and could well be anywhere...
