Exhaltation

The process by which dragon eggs are harvested for their larvae which are implanted into humaonoids and other creatures to create dragonkind of various sorts.
Rituals: Dragon eggs are large 3ft. tall, and weigh 150 lbs. Within are roughly 100 larval wyrms that compete over gestation to become the wyrmling that is finally hatched. The Keepers have created a process for utilizing these eggs to transform other beings. There are 3 main ways of utilizing the wyrms. unwilling hosts can have the wyrm deposited on their face - it will wriggle into the corner of the eye and then transform in the body and burst forth from the chest cavity as kobold or other creature. A willing creature can "take the wyrm." Cultists contend to be the ones honored to take the wyrm - this is the path of true transformation. The wyrm takes hold in the body and transforms the individual over the course of several days. This is how half-dragons, drakes, and other creatures are created. Birth - a humanoid can implant a wyrm in the womb and give birth to dragonspawn - this is how dragonborn are created. All three paths are aided by magics yet still usually result in death. It is through this process of culling that the army of the dracoliches will be born.
