Background
The Great Golden Wyrm is the world’s protector and the inspiration for holy orders of paladins and independent heroes. Mystically chosen individual heroes a plenty litter the annals of history, while rumour has it of a true born kin of the Wyrm walks the Summoned Land in this very age.The truth to this claim is yet to be verrified with eiether the various paladin orders or with the court of the Dragon Empire.
Although the Gold Wyrm’s physical form seals the gap that prevents the Abyss from erupting into the world, his dreams and the agents he employs still move through the world, helping those who will fight and even die for what’s right. Unlike the Three, this icon of honour must fight alone, segregated from its Draconic kin.

Usual Location
Centuries ago, the Great Gold Wyrm threw itself into the Abyss to prevent the demons of hell from pouring out into the world. The Wyrm’s physical presence and his magical wards are still all that prevents the Abyss from ripping the world wide open. Most often the Wyrm remains stationary near the worst of the tears in reality, other times he rampages through a portion of the Abyss slaying demons that have caught his eye. Paladins say that if true heroes can find a way to stop the gap, even for a night and a day, the Great Gold Wyrm would be free to reinvigorate his followers, restore the Golden Citadel, and beat back the Three.
Inter Icon relationships
Theoretically duty bound to the Emperor of the Dragon Empire, the current status of the relationship is unknown.
The bitter rivalry between the Crusader and the Great Gold Wyrm lacks any formal declaration, but it is as thick as ochre jelly.
The Three are the evil counterpoint to the Great Gold Wyrm. They’re not as strong as the Wyrm but they’re also not stuck in the Abyss. There are examples of temperary lliances, as with the Red Dragon during the formation of the Red Wastes.
Due to her tendancy to employ the unregulated forces of choas and to summon demons of terrifying power, it is widely known that the Diabolist is no big fan of the Great Gold Wyrm, either.
As can be expected form an evil icon such as the Lich King, he detests the power and honour the Great Golden Wyrm repreasesnts. additoinally, his lust to reclain his former Empire sets him at odds to both the allies of, and plans of the Great Golden Wyrm.
