True Dragons
Everything presented is subject to change as the adventuring party discovers hidden secrets.
True dragons are winged reptiles of ancient lineage and fearsome power. They are known and feared for their predatory cunning and greed, with the oldest dragons accounted as some of the most powerful creatures in the world. Dragons are also magical creatures whose innate power fuels their dreaded breath weapons and other preternatural abilities.
Many creatures, including wyverns and dragon turtles, have draconic blood. However, true dragons fall into the two broad categories of chromatic and metallic dragons.
The chromatic dragons (black, blue, green, red, and white) are selfish, evil, and feared by all.
The metallic dragons (brass, bronze, copper, gold, and silver) are noble, good, and highly respected by the wise.
However, there exist dragons outside of these commonly known dragons. These are the alien outer dragons.
Outer dragons (moon, sun, time, and void) are natives of the vast reaches of space and can be encountered on diverse worlds. They are generally neutral, but their alignments vary more than those of other dragons.
Though their goals and ideals vary tremendously, all true dragons covet wealth, hoarding mounds of coins and gathering gems, jewels, and magic items. Dragons with large hoards are loath to leave them for long, venturing out of their lairs only to patrol or feed.
True dragons pass through four distinct stages of life, from lowly wyrmlings to ancient dragons, which can live for over a thousand years. In that time, their might can become unrivaled, and their hoards can grow beyond price.
Dragons are much more powerful when in their own territory and always know if someone is trespassing. Their power also warps the land that they make their lair in.
