Dragons: Fire and Ice
Encyclopedia
Dragons: Fire & Ice is a 2004 animated adventure film and the first of a two part series based on the Mega Bloks
toyline. Fire & Ice was released directly to DVD
and is the story of two unlikely heroes, Prince Dev of the Norvagen and Princess Kyra of the Draigar. These two band together along with their dragons, Targon and Aroara, to help save Dragon World and their world from evil.
Dev is among the greatest of Norvagen warriors, though he suffers from a troubled temperament.
Sixteen-year-old Dev is the only son of the Norvagen King
Olsef. When Dev was born, his people had already been at war for a thousand years with their bitter enemies, the Draigar. As the years passed Dev matured into one of the foremost Norvagen warriors, and remains a warrior at heart even now that peace has been established.
Dev is a brazen risk-taker who has little regard for rules, manners or protocol
. Fast with the quips, Dev is also quick to anger, which can be his Achilles heel
. Headstrong and filled with bravado, Dev is impulsive. However, he is courageous and loyal, and has a powerful sense of honor. Dev is an expert with his fists, a sword and an axe.
Dev has a connection with the wind
. It seems to reflect his moods, howling along the Norvagen battlements when Dev himself is angry. As Dev matured, his wind-powers grew more formidable. But this is cause for unease, because Dev does not have full control of these powers … and nor does he have full control over his own turbulent emotions. Dev’s temperament is like his grandfather’s, a berserker
whose battle-fury carried him to victory after victory, until in the end it destroyed him.
Deep down, Dev himself is increasingly worried about his moods, and fears what destiny may lie in wait if he is not able to subdue them.
during the thousand-years war between the Draigar and Norvagen. But unlike Dev, this young Draigar princess is thoughtful and meticulous, and rarely given over to impulsive actions.
This tendency to over-think and over-analyze means that Kyra sometimes lacks spontaneity. But she’s fearless and formidable in battle. With her martial arts
prowess, she’s as graceful as a dancer … and as swift as a striking snake. Kyra also has a deadly dry wit, and a tongue that’s as quick as her spear.
Kyra possesses a power – and a destiny – she does not yet fully understand. She has a mystical connection with fire, which will flare up and recede in accordance with her moods.
Increasingly troubled by Dev’s turbulent moods, Kyra has tried to talk to him about her concerns, but this just causes him to withdraw from her. Kyra still regards Dev as her closest friend, but these days she feels painfully distanced from him, and more and more she fears where his anger will lead.
His gemstone is the orathon and he is the only one besides Qionous who can use it.
. He was once friends with Thoron and often competed with each other, but when Thoron was crowned king of the dragons, Stendhal grew jealous and rebelled against him. He teamed up with Xenoz to kill the Dragon Queen so that Xenoz could take her Ice Crystal. As punishment Stendehl was imprisoned for 1000 years. After he was released, he immediately battled Thoron once again. During this battle, the Aurothon was activated and though Stendhal was defeated and imprisoned in a golden temple
, Thoron was hurled into the human world. He was almost freed by a sorceress
named Scylla, the leader of the Odaku, in return for teaching her how to conjure Shadow Dragons.
