Dragons
Basic Information
Anatomy
Dragons were massive beings crafted from both metal and flesh, their bodies resembling the general shape of various lizards. Each dragon was unique and has their own morphology, but the following traits were shared by all of them.
- General quadruped proportions
- At least 5 limbs (2 hind legs and 1 tail+various others)
- A long, serpentine neck and tail attached to the torso
- An internal skeleton crafted from titanium and steel
- Dense flesh that resembled granite in color
- Scaled bodies made from one or two types of metals

Growth Rate & Stages
Dragons were crafted fully-grown, but over their long lives, more materials were added simply over the course of battle and fulfilling the tasks given to them by the creator.
The final lengths and heights of the dragons were as follows:
- Amit: 94ftx25ft
- Behris: 100ftx26ft
- Ebrius: 42ftx17ft
- Oshai: 83ftx21ft
- Rhaul: 120ftx35ft

Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Dragons were capable of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling, all of them to super-human degrees. Each dragon also possessed unique powers, but all dragons shared the following abilities to a lesser or greater degree:
- Could see the souls and animating forces of other beings
- Perfect vision, even in absolute, even magical, darkness
- The ability to manipulate souls, both of the living and the dead
- Flesh that regenerated from any injury, even fatal ones
- Magically assisted flight
- Souls that could return from the veil as long as their body was allowed to repair itself
- A connection to the veil rivaled only by civilizations worth of Grey shamans and the greatest of the Awakened
- Absolute dominion of non-sapient life that was in close proximity of them, and great influence over even the sapient species such as humans and grey.
Civilization and Culture
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Other species treated the dragons as one would gods, each one a direct representation and servant to the Creator's plan. This does not mean that all of the dragons were beloved or respected, Rhaul became known as the Tyrant for a reason after all, but all of them were respected and feared for what they were, and the lengths to which most peoples and lesser deities went to in order to appease them can be likened to worship.
The dwarves are the only species that went out of their way to honor and excuse the actions of every dragon, as the Creator made them to serve his creation, and the dragons were stewards of that creation. Thus, the dwarves saw the dragons as their lords and masters to a degree that other races simply did not emulate.
The Widows, Weavers and Children of the Night were all diametrically opposed to the dragons, as the creator saw no place for these arachnid horrors in his world.
