Cloudmender – Dragon Healer/Mage. Early in the Age of the Dragons, it was discovered that the air high in the sky was rich in a strange Primal energy that could be manipulated using Primal techniques, but did not correspond to their understanding of Prime. The dragons called this energy Storm, for it was most noticeable during lightning storms. Cloud-Dancers made use of the Storm, as did Windmenders, though for different purposes – while the Dancers utilized it for combat and communication, the Menders used it to heal wounds, as the Acolytes had lost much of their power with the exodus of the gods. While it was later discovered that Storm was Primal that had been infused with both nature and life energy due to their Realms and their gods crossing the Prime and that the ‘impure’ Primal energy was deemed not worth mastering, many of their techniques were passed down to the dragons of today – Menders responsible for Primal Breezes and Dancers for Gusts. Rumors persist, however, that fragments of these schools’ teachings were collected by the scholar, Helian, and that she attempted to piece together knowledge of the Storm – creating a new school of study called Cloudmenders. If this is true, she did not perfect it before her death, and may have taken it to her grave…
