"This is one of the Aeginae. The star-dragons. The behemoth-mercenaries that the suns contract to enforce their laws. Before it, you are only a fleck."[1]
The Aeginae are a race of enormous star-dragons that serve as mercenaries for the Judgements.
The Behemoth-Mercenaries
"You topple two barrels out of an exterior hatch and bellow the order to make full steam away from them. The behemoth's course shifts, fractionally. A maw opens, the size of an oceanic abyss. Its teeth are like suspended mountain-peaks."[2]
Their mountain range-sized bodies are equipped with many sharp teeth as well as a number of lidless, yellow eyes, each one containing multiple irises. The Dragons's favorite food is time, and they make use of ancient sky-tunnels to speed up their journeys in The High Wilderness.[3][4]
The Aeginae's origins are found with The Burrower Below, a continent-sized behemoth that gnaws at the roots of heavens and is revered by the skyfarers as one of the three Gods of the High Wilderness.[5][6]
As is the case with other beings of great power, such as Judgements, death is not necessarily the end for the star-dragons, as they can persist in the form of living winds, storms and other similiar phenomena.[7][8][9] An example of that can be seen in Storm, one of the Gods of the Unterzee who, despite being dead for a long time, can still exert his influence over The Neath.[10][11]
