Dragons

Halor's history with dragons is as storied as it is enigmatic. Legends from the Age of Storms claim many heroes rode into battle astride many vareity of dragons to ward of the demons that had invaded the plane. Older, cryptic texts, hint that dragons assisted in shaping the very world alongside the Divine Quinternion. Mythical claims aside, modern knowledge of dragons is based on the writings of Aurumirvynth, a Gold Dragon who became heavily involved Ormystian society during the first outbreak of Vesper Blight on the continent.  

Quarothystrum

Quarothystrum is the Aeviternal who first created dragons. His first creations were a Consort of Greatwyrms, immortal matron dragons of immense prophetic and arcane power. With each Greatwyrm, Quarothystrum bred with them to create a unique lineage of dragons for the Greatwyrm to lead and rule. When Quarothystrum was corrupted by Usos during the Chaos Wars, his Consort began to fight amonst one another along with their progeny. Some sided with Usos and their corrupted god, other opposed them, and yet others set our on their own. This schism deeply afflicted the Greatwyrms and their dragons causing them to spread out amongst the planes, distrusting and hating one another.

Each Greatwyrm is the mother of all the dragons of a particular kind. Some Greatwyrms use this influence to rule over thier kind while others have forsaken their place and sought solitude instead.

Chromatics

Chromatics are territorial, solitary and often hate one another as much as the other species. They love to horde wealth in whatever domain they conquer to call home. Their only consideration outside themselves is the recognition of hiearchy within their order. Chromatics will tend to begrudiungly respect those higher than themselves and belligerantly bully those below. They primarily dwell within the Primordial Conflux, though some choose to enter the Prosaic Plane.

Essence

Essence dragons pass between the many planes, though some theorize they call The Shifting Veil home. Their apperance is a omen of tumultuous times; these dragons seek out the epicenters of fate and destiny. They rarely interfere or interact, instead they simply watch. Essence dragons still associate closly with Quarothystrum and their motives are as chaotic and unpredictable as the Corrupted Dragon itself.

Fae

Fae dragons are named primarily because of their co-habitation of the Gloaming Forest with Fae-kind. Fae dragons like to be involved in the plots and plans of other creatures, wishing to add a cruel or kind twist of fate according to their whims. While they share no direct ancestry with the Fae, these dragons often see the Fae as kin and thier realm as a refuge from any serious affairs across the planes.

2. Amethyst Dragons
3. Emerald Dragons
4. Sapphire Dragons
5. Topaz Dragons

Metallics are noble & prideful, often seeing themselves as a bastion of high morality for lesser species.

Metallics tend to ingratiate themselves in the societies of various mortal races across the planes, but are found mostly in the Prosaic plane.
