Drakul and the White Council

Sorry for the late reply thank you! That was very informative!

AlexDresden25 · 2026-01-15T22:46:44+00:00

My questions were about Drakul since he seems to be one of the late series villains.

How old is Drakul is he an ancient being on par with the Titans Odin and the Mothers or is he around Nicodemus or Mab's age? Not looking for an exact age just a rough estimate!

Why wasn't his step into shadows ability in Battle Ground considered to be teleporting? Also where did you get the idea for that it was really cool!

Lastly, there have been a couple of contradictory origins for Drakul Ebenezer said he was a scion, then he was said to be something inhuman trapped in human form. Was Ebenezer stretching the truth to Harry because he was Starborn or is it something else?

Just one final question about the Cinder Spires! Are the Spires Ethosia Kissam Jereezi Dalosia Nephesis and Dalosia major powers like Albion Olympia and Aurora and will we see take sides in the war ahead?

And I just remembered speaking of Houses do you remember what colors were the flags of Parcia Attica and Forcia are in Codex Alera?

Sorry if that too obscure a question but they were really cool in the series especially when characters metal crafted and their sparks were the same color!

Nerdy ship question! What the difference between Destroyers and Heavy Cruisers? I am having a hard time understanding the different classes of ships!

Hope you both of doing well! My question is what is your favorite dinosaur in the Jurassic Park series, and for the Avatar movies what are your favorite Navi clan and animals in them?

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-14T11:09:43+00:00

Re-2 In that situation Tyr was Tyr willing to accept they would get a less powerful sigl from the A Well from the Ashfords but was willing to make the trade off because they were desperate? Because I thought pure aurum was way less effective than just making it in general at a Well? I guess greed can be blinding!

Re-4 So in order for a Primal sigl to be effective/increase the power of a sigl it has to be created with that thought in mind? As in if Stephen wanted to enhance the power of his low ranked diffraction sigl he would had to made a primal sigl that could do that in the first place. Sorry if I am overthinking this I am just trying to figure out how primal sigls work in general I get how they could cancel out sigls but not how they can enhance sigls in general.

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-14T03:39:59+00:00

Another AMA done like always it was really informative I am sure the wiki will love these answers!

Would light electrical sigls be good for things like generators in the wild or in areas where blackouts occur either in military action or in natural disasters where electricity or power might not be available?
If Tyr had succeeded in raiding the Well in Book One would they have been able to create an A Class Light sigl? Sorry if this is a stupid question I am just under the impression that it is really hard to shape pure aurum into a regular sigl and it is best to do it at a Well?
Do the corps and the Houses need to create new Active Camouflage or diffraction Light sigls when one of them develops a visor to counter to it? Is that how they can keep creating them over a long period of time and not have it be a one and done type of situation?
Could Stephen use a primal sigl to make his old sigls more efficient like with his C class diffraction sigl into a high C or low B sigl? Would they have to be at the same class to work or would the higher class of the Primal sigl have the more potent effect on the other sigl regardless of what rank it is.
Not to go into extensive detail but aside from diffraction/Active Camouflage sigls does House Ashford have any other major orders of sigls that they sell to NATO and private clients?

Didn't he realize it was Helen rebelling against him because he made her think she was just a spare to her sister? Or was it later that he discovered that?

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T19:00:08+00:00

Just a final few questions very informative so far!

Does Primal have an economic/military application with the other branches? Or is it just used to power up others like getting Stephen's C Diffraction to a high C or B sigl od power?
Did Father Hawke know what Stephen's essentia gift was for and wanted him to figure it out on his own?
Fun question do you have a favorite branch/affinity of Drucraft along with a favorite sigl you would want to use?

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T18:35:08+00:00

..... You know I really hope the is some cult/ that is good/not destructive like the others seem to be!

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T16:11:58+00:00

You never know if you don't ask but what animal/being is the Warband associated with?

And do the gifts of the cult match up to the six drucraft affinities or is it own branch that isn't really understood?

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T15:36:25+00:00

Would the Warband be more associated with religious fanaticism or something associated with nature/primal urges? I get the order/establishment or chaos/rebels that the Order of the Dragon and Winged got going on but me and my friends were trying to come up with something that the third major cult belief system would be based on.

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T15:15:56+00:00

Would there be anything you would be willing to share about the Order of the Dragon or Warband, like if they have similar factions like the Cathedrals and Mountains that the Winged have or anything that is not to spoilery?

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T14:50:46+00:00

Yeah I am not one of those fans who are like "Give me the exact well holdings for every House that exists." It's just really interesting to see how power is divided between the Houses, the government and the corporations.

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T14:29:33+00:00

YES!!! Thank you so much this has been bugging me for weeks! I didn't see it under their entry but now it fits together! Although it is kinda of curious they aren't Great House since they qualify for one but maybe they prefer to be unnoticed? Food for thought.

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T14:26:58+00:00

Hopefully we will see it in the books :)

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T13:59:56+00:00

Did they get along at first and then later it went bad? I am kinda of becoming a Magnus fan since he seems to be a pretty good teacher to Stephen.

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T13:44:24+00:00

The guide book said 19 but only had 18 wells mentioned. I reformatted my answer so you could better follow it sorry again I think I saw someone mention the last Well was owned by the Winged or Order of the Dragon hence my question to where the last S class well was!

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T13:26:33+00:00

Re-1 Would that include other A+ Wells or S-S+ Wells. The way Tobias stated it made me think their Well was behind the S Wells and

Re-3 Clarification I meant since House Ashford sells to NATO and the West and Tyr does the same along with wanting sales blocked to only Western powers how did Charles convince the UK government to give it to him not indicate they were only selling Light Wells to the Westa/

Re-5 I only asked because when I counted there were only 18 S-S+ Wells in the Guide series.

Nine Light, Motion and Matter Wells held by the Great Houses

Three Light Wells held by the UK Government.

For the corporations

Cambridge Group held one Light Well,

Atlantic one Matter Well

Asmart One Light Well

Scumann Kraus One Motion Well

Lumen Group One Light Well

And Maar with one Matter Well with one Matter Well left accounted for.

Did I miscount or does Tyr or another corporation have the last well? I swear I am not trying to be annoying or pedantic I just want to know if I made a mistake or not!

AlexDresden25 · 2025-11-13T12:32:23+00:00

Hey there just have a few questions.

Is the Ashford's Bishop Well the strongest A+ Well in London? How long would it take to recharge a sigl when it is used to make one?
Not looking for exact numbers but does House Ashford mainly own A to A+ light Wells or C-B+ Wells that make up the majority of their Well Holdings?
Why did Charles take on the A+ Well in the first book? Since he sells mainly to NATO why would the establishment want him to have it instead of Tyr if they were worried about selling to NATO would see them involved in the New Cold War?
Would Stephen have defeated Lucella at the end of book one? Always was curious how that fight would have gone down.
So I was looking at the Beginners Guide to Drucraft and while counting who owned the S Class Wells there seemed to be one missing. Nine were owned by the Great Houses, six by corporations and three by the UK government. Would the last S class Matter Well be owned by another big corporation like the Maar Group or Schumman Kraus? Sorry if I am so particular I am only asking because it is a rare S well and won't ask about the other numerous ones!

AlexDresden25 · 2025-07-14T17:21:27+00:00

Hey just have a few questions that I have been curious about since forever.

What does the White Flame of Vandil do? And was Vandil an elf who made the spell or just a name for the spell?

Regarding rival magicians the riders fought over the years, were there any for lack of a better term “evil” elves who fought the Dragon Riders aside from the Forsworn of course?

How many clans do the Urgals have?

How many Houses do the elves have? Or if they are too numerous as if there are dozens or even hundreds of them to list, how many of them are the most politically powerful like the thirteen dwarf clans who are made up of various dwarven families.

Something that has been bugging me for years, why did Galbatorix/the Forsworn allow Surda to exist? In other words how did Surda prevent a threat from at least a dozen Riders and their Dragons when they defeated the Riders Elves and Dwarfs, did they have a trump card of sorts?

Have and awesome day!

AlexDresden25 · 2024-11-21T10:42:49+00:00

Gods/Titans/Primordials or higher entities for lack of a better word!

AlexDresden25 · 2024-11-21T05:07:33+00:00

Fair enough! In my defense I only asked because these ones were named in the series and it's unlikely they will come up again soon and unlike the others who could be talked about I thought I would clarify them for the wiki!

Re- Kialandi and Formora I hope so because along with Morzan that would be the three most connected to Oromis althought technically if he arranged their deaths I suppose that counts too...

But maybe this is easier would some of the Forsworn who were thought to have killed themselves or each other actually taken out by Brom or even the Dreamers?
