What do you think the gold markings on his arm represent?
The golden marks along Rorrick's arm is a sign of his heritage, and his buried talents. Long ago, the Whiptail Dragons were spell casters, capable of very strong magic. Their Elders were the strongest, and were capable of breathing life back into what was no more, quelling a raging sea, and even bringing two warring people to peace. These wonderful powers were depended on greatly, and always thanks was given for their abilities. Even the youngest of dragons was capable of some magic, and all used it for the betterment of their people. This, of course, was before the Lost Ones discovered that their powers could become even more. They paid no heed to the warnings of The Elders, nor did they concern themselves over the morality of what they did. No, they sought more power, corrupting every ounce of what they had, and caring not for it's effects on others.
These Lost Ones became too powerful for the Elders to control, but too twisted to be healed. The famine and war that the Lost Ones had brought upon their people lead the Elders to a desperate decision; they must destroy these few corrupted dragons, and destroy all traces of the power they had discovered. And so, the Lost Ones struggled against The Elders, and for months a mighty war raged. The Elder's devotion to their people kept them strong, and eventually they were able to defeat the Lost Ones. Frightened of death, they begged The Elders for kindness, and being the merciful leaders they were, The Elders obliged. Rather than kill the wayward souls, The Elders sealed their powers, and their memories of their power, to guarantee that no such power was ever unleashed again. Their lives were given for this task, and the age of The Elders was no more. The Lost Ones discovered new homes, and became acceptable members of society, though some still remembered the suffering The Lost Ones had caused. The Lost Ones paid it no heed, for they knew not of their wrong doings, and they continued to live on. Some even had families of their own, though their powers and seals were passed down to their children. These children knew not of their father's crimes, nor of the power that waited within them.
