Dragons
Dragons have no beginning, unless it lies with the creation of Azure it self. If they have and end it will be when Azure perishes, for they suffer as the land does. They the gnomes, halflings and a few others are the inhabits of this land. They lived here before all other, strong and proud in their elemental glory. Their world was unchanging until the arrival of the first elves sailed over the Azure Sea on their silver ships.
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 Good and Evil Dragons. The Evil Dragons know as the Silver Hearts Clan are selfish, evil, and feared by all. The stewards of YonZora are noble, good, and highly respected by the wise.
The Silver Hearts Clan of dragons represent the evil side of dragon kind. Aggressive, gluttonous, and vain, Silver Heart dragons are dark sages and powerful tyrants feared by all creatures — including each other.
Driven by Greed. Silver heart dragons lust after treasure and power, and this greed colors their every scheme and plot. They believe that the world’s wealth belongs to them by right, and a chromatic dragon seizes that wealth without regard for the humanoids and other creatures that have “stolen” it. With its piles of coins, gleaming gems, and magic items, a dragon’s hoard is the stuff of legend. However, Silver Heart dragons have no interest in commerce, amassing wealth for no other reason than to have it.
Creatures of Ego. Silver Heart dragons are united by their sense of superiority, believing themselves the most powerful and worthy of all mortal creatures. When they interact with other creatures, it is only to further their own interests. They believe in their innate right to rule, and this belief is the cornerstone of every Silver Heart dragon’s personality and worldview. Trying to humble a chromatic dragon is like trying to convince the wind to stop blowing. To these creatures, humanoids are animals, fit to serve as prey or beasts of burden, and wholly unworthy of respect.
Stewards of YonZora dragons seek to preserve and protect, viewing themselves as one powerful race among the many races that have a place in the world.
Noble Curiosity. Stewards dragons covet treasure as do their evil Silver heart kin, but they aren’t driven as much by greed in their pursuit of wealth. Rather, Stewards dragons are driven to investigate and collect, taking unclaimed relics and storing them in their lairs. A Stewards dragon’s treasure hoard is filled with items that reflect its persona, tell its history, and preserve its memories. Stewards dragons also seek to protect other creatures from dangerous magic. As such, powerful magic items and even evil artifacts are sometimes secreted away in a Stewards of YonZora dragon’s hoard.
Stewards of YonZora dragons have long memories, and they form opinions of humanoids based on previous contact with related humanoids. Good dragons can recognize humanoid bloodlines by smell, sniffing out each person they meet and remembering any relatives they have come into contact with over the years. A gold dragon might never suspect duplicity from a cunning villain, assuming that the villain is of the same mind and heart as a good and virtuous grandmother. On the other hand, the dragon might resent a noble paladin whose ancestor stole a silver statue from the dragon’s hoard three centuries before.

Ecology and Habitats
A dragon’s lair serves as the seat of its power and a vault for its treasure. With its innate toughness and tolerance for severe environmental effects, a dragon selects or builds a lair not for shelter but for defense, favoring multiple entrances and exits, and security for its hoard.
Most dragon lairs are hidden in dangerous and remote locations to prevent all but the most audacious mortals from reaching them. A black dragon might lair in the heart of a vast swamp, while a red dragon might claim the caldera of an active volcano. In addition to the natural defenses of their lairs, powerful dragons use magical guardians, traps, and subservient creatures to protect their treasures.
