History
- Dyvim (meaning Dragon Lord in ancient Melnibone) is Elric's paternal twin brother. Born at the same time but sharing very few features they were separated at birth. Seperated from the rest of the family, Dyvim grew up in Elona training as a dervish from a very young age.
- When he was a young child he sat on the edges of the training grounds watching the troops preparing for battle. As he took in the images of the whirling dervish using long bladed scythes, images of an ancient past would float before his eyes. Men bearing long handled blades with equally long curved blades on the backs of dragons.
- These "scythes" were more than mere weapons. The blades were a direct link between the dragon and his rider. Inserted between the impenetrable scales of the dragon and used to guide and steer their mounts. Flying through the air, the slightest movement of the scythe could direct the dragon faster than any other form of communication since telepathy between the dragon and his rider requires concious thought and effort. This was no more painful for the dragon than a minor scratch on a human as they are said to have incredible self healing abilities and the dragon rider knew where and how to insert the scythe blade to do the least amount of damage.
