Aesop has been the Keeper of the Dragon Shrine in The City of Estoria for centuries. They devote much of their time to studying the histories, but they also keep an eye on the prophecies, watching for any signs that the Order of The Order of the Dragonlords might be restored. They are widely known to be one of the wisest mortals in the land, respected even by Vallus and the Oracle.

However, due to their mysterious longevity and youthfulness, they are distrusted and feared by many, especially the common folk.

Aesop made the ritual that allowed the The Heroes of Thylea to experience the dreams from drinking from the horn of Balmytria.
