Imora

Imora the Ice Dragon awakens from the long dragon sleep to discover a thief has stolen away with her most valued possession: her son's heart, preserved in a jar. When she tracks the thief to a high mountain fortress, a Dengal army is waiting. In the battle that follows, she loses both of her wings. She retreats, belly to the ground like a common snake.

In her previous wake, she takes her son away from his father in order to teach him her ways in the high cold mountains of Dengaleth. When the Dengals slay her son, Imora finds the discarded heart struggling for survival. Through a series of trials and sacrifices, she obtains crystallis from the Fallen Star, all while fighting back the call of another dragon sleep. With the crystallis, she crafts a container to preserve the heart securely until she can find a way to restore her son's life. At last, she surrenders to fatigue.

Now, with no wings, she must learn to exist as a creature of the ground, discover a way to find and reclaim her son's heart, and at last enter the realm of the Uldethwyrm to ask the dragon god to resurrect her son. But to enter the god's realm she must make a great sacrifice and an even greater one if she is to save her son- her own existence.
