Winslow Cy

For the player character alias, see Atlas (Guardian of the Blade)

Winslow Cy was a Hygardian historic adventurer who served under the Hywill crown. He is most famed for his contributions to the early Dragon Wars and often credited with some of Hygard's most consequential victories in the Third Regal Age. His most common alias "The Planebreaker" refers to his most historic quest, during which he voyaged to each of the prime Elemental Gates and through both conquest and diplomacy, rallied a monumental army of Genasi which consequently executed the Chromatic Crown dragons.

Cy was a high-level Paladin of Avatol and is highly regarded for both his individual battle prowess and exceeding military strategy. Hygardian scholars have described him as "exceptionally competent at destruction," and because historical accounts vary intensely, tall tales about Cy are difficult to discern from his true deeds. He is said to have had a voracious temper and known to fly into zealous rages, leading Golden-Age scholars to describe him later in life as "not unlike the barbaric berserkers of Dwarven fame."

Often depicted with the four elements at his gauntlets, Cy has stood as a symbol for Hygardian domination and conquest. His raising of the Four Elements army is considered a pivotal event in the progression of the Dragon Wars, though many have also pointed to this event as the cause of the Genasi diaspora that has persisted through the Golden and Brass ages. Indeed, Cy is known to have toppled the Storm Conclave, laid claim to Lac Nautica, fractured the factions of the Fire Island Empire and brokered the land treaty that sold the former Earth Kingdom to Tharan'dul. Though each of these shifts was instrumental in orchestrating the fall of the Chromatic Crown dragons, they left millions of Genasi with no land of their own following the conclusion of the Dragon Wars.
