Madam Zylvandrake, the mother of dragons, and her beloved House reside high above the world atop the Dranofil mountain range. A constant hum of busy activity pervades the warrens and neighborhoods where these wizards form their close-knit communities. Louder sounds punctuate the hum: a crunch of grinding gears here, a minor explosion there, a yelp of surprise or triumph, and especially bursts of laughter. These clan members love jokes of all kinds, particularly puns and pranks. Many Zylvandrade are usually skilled engineers, tinkers, and inventors.

The primary profession, outside of mechanical and magical studies, is the breeding and raising of various dragon types in their hatchery and nurseries. The Zylvandrake dragons themselves are small and usually flightless forest creatures of various color and sub-species. They roam for miles in search of food and anything shiny or magical that they can add to their personal collections. If a traveler is lucky enough, they could stumble across one of the small dragon hoards hidden up in the trees, small crevices and caves within in the mountains.

The Zylvandrade are the ultimate authority in the realm of Evocation. Evokers can access different types of energies and use these energies to create whatever they want with them. The first truth that evokers are taught is that beneath the surface of the merely physical, fundamental energies form the true nature of all things. Members of Zylvandrade tend to be the most serious-minded, intense, and determined wizards, devoted to the mastery of their craft, no matter the subject, to the exclusion of almost all else.

When talking to clan members, their chests swell with pride when anyone speaks to them of the S.A.S Thunderstruck, the flagship of the air fleet. The fleet is commanded by Commodore Dunder Chief, a rather nasty and surly goblin. He can always be recognized from his brethren by his large and gaudy bicorn hat. His crew of goblin privateers sail the airships around the continent and protect the skies of the magical world, usually. A smaller ship in the fleet, the S.A.S. Power Load, carries powder kegs full of explosives and T.N.T. created by the engineers and tinkerers of the Zylvandrake clan.
