Sol, the Dreaming Dragon
Sol, the Dreaming Dragon
Alias: The Last Sun-Scale, Keeper of the Seal, Solaura, Sunscale Prophet
Overview
Sol is an ancient and near-mythical dragon, remembered in both Mokole Dreamtime and Changeling legend as the Dreaming Dragon. His presence threads through primordial memory, cosmic prophecy, and the deepest layers of the Dreaming itself. Sol stands as one of the few survivors from the lost Age of Kings—when the world was ruled by Lizard Kings and the Dream was young and malleable.
Origins and Legend
According to ancient Mokolé and Dreamspeaker tales, Sol was hatched in the Age of Kings, when dinosaurs, plesiosaurs, and pterosaurs shaped the Dreaming into living memory. Uniquely Awakened, Sol possessed the rare gift of Dream-sight—able to see not only the past (Mnesis), but glimpses of futures yet unwritten.
As the Dream Empires of the Lizard Kings grew powerful and arrogant, Sol prophesied the coming Wonder-Work—the extinction event that would shatter their civilization and forever wound the Dreaming. Acting on his visions, Sol entered a timeless Dream-Hibernation, preserving his essence to awaken at moments of existential crisis in the world.
The Caging of the Nameless
Sol’s greatest act came in 6000 BCE, at a nexus of myth and history. Drawn to a gathering of world-shaking power, Sol awoke alongside Gaia, Lilith, and legendary sorcerers. Together, they faced the Nameless—a force of erasure and cosmic oblivion threatening to unmake the world.
Through dream magick and sacrifice, Sol offered his essence to help seal the Nameless beneath what would become the Capitol Node. It is said Sol became both anchor and sentinel, drifting between Dream and waking, holding the prison closed by sheer force of will and memory.
Powers and Influence
- Dreamwalker: Sol moves between Dream, Memory, and Spirit, guiding visionaries and shifters through the Dreaming. He is invoked in rituals seeking prophecy, lost knowledge, or cosmic renewal.
- Sealer of Erasure: As a living anchor, Sol can hold or restore spiritual seals, drawing on his mastery of sacrifice and memory.
- Mnesis Mastery: Sol’s understanding of ancient memory allows him to unlock echoes of the Age of Kings and forgotten magicks, sometimes granting mortals visions of prehistory.
- Shape of the Sunscale: When he manifests, Sol appears as a radiant golden dragon, sometimes with a mane of sunlight and eyes filled with the memory of dawns and endings.
Sol’s Role in the Modern Night
Legend says Sol awakens whenever the Dream is threatened by erasure, banality, or apocalypse. In Madison, signs of his influence are felt during reality glitches, memory loops, and prophetic dreams linked to the Capitol Node. Some Dreamspeakers, Mokole, and Fae still seek his guidance through visions or rare Dream-quests, believing Sol holds the wisdom needed to heal or save the world from the return of the Nameless.
