Sentinel of the water and the air, the white dragon is the guardian of all that is good. Though his countenance may appear fierce, this is a noble beast with a benevolent soul. Bearer of the wisdom of a thousand millennia, his power is boundless, should he choose to use it. But he is not a malevolent nor a vindictive being—he is a giver of life, and his scales glimmer in a dazzling, blinding white, purer than the snow that adorns the peaks of holy mountains. The year of the dragon, which comes only once every 12 years, is an auspicious time marked by great fortune and prosperity, when the white dragon imparts his infinite grace upon the mortal world.
