More sacred than any of the treasured Gloridax relics or tomes is the Fire Blood itself. Those who carry it are valued highly in Dragon society, whether or not they have the physical appearance of a Dragon. The most saturated with the Fire Blood are those born from eggs, who are born into a life of privilege and nobility. Prince Julian was hatched from an egg. This was a very special egg, for it was laid by the Wisdom Dragon of old, before she died some ninety years ago. Julian's true father is long gone, and perhaps will never be known, but the egg was fostered and cared for by the Vizier Gyortius of the Gloridax High Council. The Vizier knew that the young Dragon in the egg would posess a mind of immense power, and if properly groomed for leadership, it could lead the Fire Blood to ultimate glory. Julian emerged from the egg into the famed Huriax Clan, one of the richest and most powerful families in the Splinterlands, already with a sharper mind than most Gloridax commoners, and he is always growing in cleverness.
