Dragonlords
An adult dragon occasionally feels a tugging on their kalar (their spirit or essence) that sends them out in search of the source of the tug. It’s this tug that is the initial formation of the bond between a dragon and their rider. Dragons most often Choose people in their area as their rider. Most riders are human, though green dragons most frequently Choose Chume’taly as their riders given that they share the same territory. In some extreme cases, a dragon will travel outside of their province to find the source of the tug.
In bonding, a dragon can partner with a male or a female, regardless of the dragon’s gender. It’s most common to see same gender dragon and rider pairs, though opposite gender pairs are seen.
In the event that a dragon is killed, the rider dies soon afterwards as they cannot survive the shock of the loss regardless of what species they are. Dragons, on the other hand, can survive without their Chosen rider, though it’s not pleasant. Some have been known to find another rider, but the bond isn’t as strong as it was with the first rider.
Not all of the dragons that associate with the Dragonlords have Chosen riders. Some allow themselves to be ridden much as Wyndchilds do. In some cases, a dragon will have a friend among the warriors and will allow that person to ride them into combat. Not all dragons will allow this, however. Some fly into battle with no rider. There are also dragons who choose to remain apart from the Dragonlords.
While the Provinces themselves were established in 661, it took time to convince the people in those Provinces that the new way of doing things was better than the old way.
Technically, the first Dragonlords were established with the Provinces, but they weren't formally recognized by the people they swore to protect until 672.
