Stórre Raumir, Vastr draken, Tvekaft draken, ssokardrottin, drottin auf Ssokar eda haf (Great Raumir, the western dragon, The two headed dragon, mist Drottin, Drottin auf mist and sea) was a mythological dragon in Scanderan folklore. According to the old tales did he live in a giant hall built from mist taken shape and countless dragons, and sea serpents paid him tribute in his great hall.

According to legend was it the flames that came from his mouth that made the mist rise from the boiling water around his hall that caused the never-ending mist around his hall and the winds were not allowed in his domains which made the mists stay creating the impassable mists. He is often depicted as a great dragon with two heads each tall enough to swallow several longships.

According to Lardin Ingens saga were his teeth the size of masts and sharp as blades but he is often depicted as a reasonable entity preferring to keep to his own mist covered lands but were willing to help several heroes and even gods and in the saga of Lardin Ingen did he help Ingen in several cases and in some versions of the sagas did Ingen even steel his daughter and took her to marry after having tricked the dragon to sleep.

Parentage

According to some legends are Raumir the son and grandson of the large dragon god Drakoor and his daughter, the first sea serpent and he even towered above his uncle and brother the first dragon which also makes him according to the legends the half brother to the first generation of dragons rather than one of their numbers. He also was the father of the human Ygrin that was the second wife of Ingen. This would make Raumir the ancestor of most houses in the eastern coastal region in Imeriata proper as a lot of them claim their descent from Ingen.
