Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well beyond the boarders of RDS, in a volcanic region next to the coral coast of the ocean, lies a virtual stronghold. With natural protection by water to the east, fire to the south and west, and mountains to the north, few armies can make it through to the keep's walls in one piece. The massive stronghold is built into the face of the mountains, but behind these towering walls lies the peaceful keep and garden. Further inside the keep, there are the basic rooms for any castle: the kitchen, the barracks, the grand hall, the library, etc.
Above the keep are the guest rooms, and further up is the room of the honorable and mighty dragonewt knight Skyeheart.

In RDS, Skyeheart's adamant sense of justice and loyalty to Angel and Zero has earned him many powerful enemies within the guild. After the destruction of most of RDS due to Yawgmoth's shadow, including his former housing, Skyeheart decided it would be better if for himself and his loved ones if he had an equally powerful stronghold like his archfoe, Aliator. And so using the vast resources of his homeland of Draconia, he built a fortress to house his soldiers.
Those with ill intent who underestiminate the defence of this domain shall not prevail against it's full strength.

Skyeheart's knight officers
Skyeheart's personal guard
Though rarely seen actually protecting their superior, they are a force to be reckoned with. They have been under Skyeheart's command ever since his time as one of Bahamut's generals and have experience that surpasses many war-ravaged soldiers.
Illycia
Like Skyeheart, she hails from Draconia. But she comes from Valitora's province rather than Bahamut's. Though not as physically strong as most adult dragons, her magic abilities exceed many. Her tact mind also makes her an ideal strategtist.
Illycia's unit
Like Illycia, they are very gifted in magic. Their color usually determines their preferance. Though they are mainly a support team, they can hold their own in small groups.
Lilikith
A former enforcer in Hyperion's army. His power was enhanced by both technology and nercomancy in hopes of saving his life from a fatal injury. Though it worked, his apperance was altered drasticly. Thus he joined Skyeheart when he left Draconia for similar reasons. Near immortal, he can stand alone against an entire army.
Lilikith's unit
Fast, fearless, and just as altered as their commander. They appear to be more monster than they are dragon. Regardless, their ferocity is matched only by their hunger for enemies. Despite their battlelust, they keep to the code of their dragon honor, and fight only when told to.
Levitiania
One of Leviathan's daughters and Skyeheart's childhood friend who volunteered to accompany him out of Draconia. She is by far the most compasonate of Skyeheart's trusted officers and focuses on keeping as few deaths as possible. Her sleak shape and youthful energy allows her to swiftly run circles around any opponent.
Levitiania's Unit
Being the daughter of one of the most powerful lords in Draconia, it would be quite obvious that only the most elite would serve under her. Levitiania's guards are dutiful and loyal to the extreme and are willing to sacrifice their lives for her, something she hopes to avoid.
Ramaris
Like Skyeheart, he is a halfblood, but his parents are a dragon and a snow elf. As a result, he is able to change to either form of his parents rather than keep the charaterisics of both like Skyeheart. He is by far the strongest of Skyeheart's fellow knights in terms of physical power, and is generally the strong silent type.
Ramaris' unit
Clearly the muscle of the knights. The warriors of Ramaris' team consist of only the largest and the strongest. Because of their overwhelming size, their quarters are satationed outside the keep, behind the mountians and out of sight to many approaching armies, a perfect place to set a pincer ambush.

Lilikith's unit was standing guard at the moment, not exactly the best bunch of dragons to badmouth at. They growled deeply at Aliator.
Then they looked back and stepped aside as the gates opened, their commander had come out to see what the commotion was about.
"What do we have here?" Lilikith snarled. He craned his neck to meet Aliator's eyes. "Black garments...an iron battle mask...cold blood eyes...pistols that could shame even the best marksman...and a nasty disposition..."
He then sneered.
"You must be Aliator..."

"I'd bite your head off if it weren't for the fact that I'm used to remarks about my face."

"Now, now, Lilikith," said a stoic voice from behind. "We don't want to aggrivate our guest."

"Hmph, fine Illycia."

The tall green Illycia stepped forward. "I have already sent a messenger inside with your request. Please be patient as he will be down shortly."

The door opened and the dragonewt knight stepped out to meet the vampire with Levitiania right behind him.
"I knew it was only a matter of time before you came here Aliator. Taking my new fortress as a challenge? Or do you find it a joke like everything else I do?"

"I was back home, putting the finishing touches to the keep you see here. Of course, I didn't even bother to try and hide it since you have eyes everywhere."

"Alibi? Are you accusing me of something? That's a switch."
Skyeheart crossed his arms.
"You're the first to ever come here. I haven't even invited any of my friends yet.
If you don't want to believe me, fine. This isn't the first time you haven't taken me seriously. But you should know by now I'm not the type to lie about things."

"Clavi and the others are dead?"
Skyeheart's face darkened as this new fact sank in.
"I see...so you finally know the kind of pain you have been giving others for all these years.
Regardless, dispite how I feel overall towards you and your mad scientist of a wife, I condole with you. An experience like this is probably new to someone like you, which makes it all the more painful."
Skyeheart then turns away.
"I know nothing about this murder. And I will not assist you in any way if this is a matter of vengence. However, I know what it is like to lose a family, so I will not impeade you either. Do as you please when you find the truth. Just remember this. I once walked a path of revenge by death myself...and it is an empty feeling."

Ali suddenly felt a shadow over him. Ramaris' team had sensed hosility and circled around as their usual tactic. Despite Ali's growth, they towered over him, with not a sound. Simply watching him with eyes that spoke, 'not another word out of you'.
Lilikith's garrison growled friecer this time.
"Lest you forget," Lilikith growled, "You are on our territory now! Threatening Sir Skyeheart here is deathwish to many, no matter how powerful they are."
Levitiania quickly restrained Lilikith, and turned to Aliator with soft eyes.
"Please...Skyeheart speaks the truth when he says he symphizes with you. You see, his own parents were-"
"That's enough Levitiania," Illycia chimed. "You know he doesn't like to talk about that."
She then looked at Aliator.
"Skyeheart has said his peace, and wishes to leave it at that. I'm sure you would feel the same if it was him in your castle. So if you please, if there is nothing left for you here, excuse yourself from this province."
