Minor Characters

Rus's Family

Rus is the oldest son of Marie the elderly dog. He is married to Jennifer and has three children of his own named (from left to right) Locksley, Peppers, and Rue.

Rus was the one who originally convinced, not only his family, but all of the extended family to move from DevonShire to Aurora Mountain prior to the Aurora Mountain Fire. So, Rus's family, Kate's family, and Joey's family altogether moved to Aurora Mountain, leaving Marie in DevonShire.

Though Rus tried to convince Marie to go with them to Aurora Mountain, she refused because she didn't want to leave the home they built in DevonShire.

Rus was a very smart boy, even as a puppy. If you ask Marie, she will tell all about the times Rus could solve a rubik's cube in record time but would simply refuse to sit down and do his homework even though he could finish that in record time too if he really wanted to.

Kate's Family

Kate is Marie's daughter and second oldest. She is married to Dave and has two children of her own named (from left to right) Jenny and Jasper.

They would sit together on the porch listening to country and western music as Kate scrap booked away. And, Marie would tell you how she laughed when Kate came home with a leather jacket wearing, motorcycle riding, city corgi named Dave for a prom date -all the while the two of them swearing up and down that they were 'just friends'. She would then tell you how she know he was the one by the way Kate looked at him, and by the way he looked back at Kate. And finally, if you asked Marie one more time, she would tell you how she walked her own daughter down the aisle and gave her away on her wedding day in place of the father that neither Kate or any of her siblings ever had.

If you ask Marie, she would tell you how Joey would spend his days reading books of all kinds all alone.

Joy and Jerry knew when they got married that they wouldn't be able to have children of their own, and so after much time and consideration they decided to try and adopt. The two of them would try for years and years going through the adoption agency so that they could finally have a child they could call their own.

Kelvin

Kelvin the Dragon is a roaming wild dragon from the Earth Dragon Clan.

Like many young dragons from his clan, he is brash, condescending, narrow minded, and unwilling to hang out or even listen to others that aren't from his clan.

Many wild dragons across Eelis NixWuAi, regardless of Clan affiliation, are like this.

Contrary to popular belief, the Dragon Cities and Dragon Kingdom Clans are not associated with one another, but are in fact bitter rivals. The Dragon Cities are their own separate governing bodies independent of the Dragon Kingdoms and their Clans.

Dragons of any Clan are of the belief that they are superior to not only other dragons outside of their clan, but superior to all other animal species.

The Dragon Lords

The original Dragon Lords, that established the original Dragon Kingdom Clans all across Eelis NixWuAi, are part of the myths and legends that all dragons grow up hearing about.

Earth, Fire, Air, Water, Electric, and Chaos are the names of the dragon clans that exist. And, each clan claims a territory for itself. These territories and clans are ruled over by their present day Dragon Lord -the leader of their clan.

The Earth Clan rules over Stone Bear Woods. The Fire Clan rules over Death Crater Valley.
The Air Clan rules over Open Valley Plains.
The Water Clan rules over Frozen Snake Lake.
                                                                                    The Electric Clan rules over Storm Strike Isle.
                                                                           And, The Chaos Clan resides in Night Fall Woods.

Inkanyamba

Inkanyamba, the great carnivorous catfish of Greater Hawk Lake is seen by the Mekong Tribe as a living spiritual deity to be feared and respected.

However, not all Tribes and peoples hold Inkanyamba in such a grand spiritual light.

In fact, the Altri Tribe hate the giant catfish and regard it as a real life devil due to Inkanyamba's known reputation for swallowing large animals (especial full grown lions) completely whole.

Inkanyamba's exact species catfish remains a mystery, as does many aspects of its life cycle in general.
