Dragon

Dragons, magnificent and ancient beings, are creatures of immense power and wisdom. Created by Holactie to rival the lizardfolk, dragons possess a longevity that spans well over a thousand years. Throughout their long lives, dragons develop unique personalities and exhibit a wide range of traits, influenced by their individual experiences and innate nature. As beings of great wisdom, dragons are often regarded as repositories of knowledge and guardians of ancient secrets. They have witnessed the passage of ages and accumulated vast amounts of knowledge, making them invaluable sources of wisdom and insight.   Dragons are known for their exceptional intelligence. They possess a keen intellect and are highly perceptive, capable of analyzing situations and making calculated decisions. This intelligence is often matched by their insatiable curiosity, driving them to explore the mysteries of the world and seek out new knowledge.   While dragons vary in their personalities, they generally display a strong sense of pride and individuality. They are confident in their abilities and possess a regal presence. Dragons command respect from other creatures and are often seen as symbols of power and authority.   Their physical forms reflect their elemental affinities and strengths. Dragons are known for their formidable size, with massive wings and muscular bodies, capable of taking flight and dominating the skies. Their scales provide both protection and beauty, often reflecting the colors and elements they are attuned to.   Dragons possess incredible magical abilities, harnessing the arcane forces of the world. They can wield powerful spells, breathe elemental energies, and manipulate the very fabric of reality. Their mastery of magic varies depending on their type, with some excelling in specific branches of spellcasting.   Despite their awe-inspiring presence, dragons are not without their vulnerabilities. Their long lives make them susceptible to boredom and a sense of detachment from the world. Many dragons develop a sense of isolation and solitude, retreating to remote lairs to contemplate the mysteries of existence.   Dragons often guard their territories fiercely, displaying a territorial nature that stems from their instinct to protect their hoards and maintain their dominance. They are formidable adversaries in battle, utilizing their immense physical strength, magical prowess, and strategic thinking to defend their territories and defeat their foes.   While dragons are often depicted as majestic and noble beings, their personalities can also range from wise and benevolent to cunning and treacherous. Some dragons may be inclined to engage with other races, sharing their knowledge and forming alliances, while others prefer to remain aloof and distant.

History

When Solomon challenged his siblings, Holactie made many races and one of them was the dragons which were to rival the lizardfolk. Since the lizards were descended from reptiles, Holactie made the dragons the same way. That is why they have scaly skin and lay eggs. This reptile similarity allowed the dragons and lizardfolk to converse naturally as if they were no different from each other. Holactie made the dragons mighty and large so that they be able to be the greatest creatures on the mortal plane. Unlike the Celestials and Aasimars, the dragons were not bounded to Elysium and instead roamed freely across the lands. The first dragon to be created was Tiamat which is the only primordial dragon. Tiamat was set as the leader of all other dragons and answered directly to Holactie and Hestia. All the dragons that came after here were descended of Tiamat, which hailed her as the mother of all dragons. But after roaming the world, many new dragons were pop up, like red, blue, celestial, brass and many other dragons.    During the Celestial War, dragons would play a major role as a great force upon darkness and light. They were so powerful that countermeasures had to be put into place to diminish their numbers.
