Mergarand

Dragonfather Mergarand shared the gift of blood and power to strengthen people in dark times; he gave to the Northern tribes blood that changed them into the first three halfblooded races. They are the children of Mergarand, the link between dragons and man:

The Shivas, disciplined masters of blades.

The Mesadee, the long-lived.

And the Sardaheim, sons of magic.
