Dragon Ancestry

A dragon ancestry shaped by three realms, six elements, and a legacy of conflict.

Dragons are a people who's origins are rooted in warfare and who's past is turbulent with both inner and outer conflict. They were once meant to be the protectors of the Mortal Realms, only for many of their own to succumb to a strange madness known as draconic ambition. These fallen protectors became terrors upon the other mortal races, and those dragons who were free from the ambition curse found themselves alienated from the world by the actions of their most unfortunate.

In time, many dragons would step up to redeem their kind and reassume their role as protectors by fending off their most dangerous bretheren for the sake of the other races. Over time, these dragons formed the Temple of Dragon Knights, an order who's purpose was to protect the Mortal Realms from their own kind. The history of the Temple of Dragon Knights itself is shakey, with it nearly collapsing along with the Great Kingdoms during The Great Fall, and barely recovering in the years after. Many dragons became disillusioned with the Temple, and sought to make their own way in the world, without compulsive ambition nor guilt-driven gallantry.

You Might...

  • Seek to prove yourself as either a powerful ally or dangerous enemy.
  • Chase your ambitions, be they wealth, power, or something else.
  • Struggle to overcome the preconceived notions others have of you based on your appearance.

Others Probably...

  • See you as a truly powerful creature, though whether they consider that valuable or dangerous changes from person to person.
  • Assume you either seek to further your own ambitions at any cost, or seek to atone for the actions of other dragons and are willing to serve.
  • Expect you to be an expert in either martial combat or arcane magic, or both.

Physical Description

Broadly speaking, dragons are large reptillian creatures, with tough scales, powerful natural wepaons, and innate magic drawn from one of the six elemetns. All dragons have sharp claws and teeth, and most dragons have frills or horns on their head, a horn-like ridge down their back, and great wings that grow in power as they age. Dragons age relatively slowly compared to other ancestries, but they live far longer too. A dragon naturally grows in both physical and magical power throughout it's entire life; they don't experience the effects of age as other mortals do.

The particular appearance of a dragon varies significantly dependong on it's heritage. Dragons can be divided into 18 different types: six of Midrealm, six of Overrealm, and six of Underrealm. Each type has unique scale colors and patterns and a magical connection to a certain element. The appearance of frills, shapes and colors of horns, and colors of eyes vary wildly and, unlike scale color and pattern, are not determined by a dragon's type but rather the genentics of their parents.

Society

Dragon society is largely divided into three strata: ambitious dragons, templar dragons, and independent dragons.

Ambitious dragons are those who succumb to draconic ambition, an obsessive and all-consuming drive to achieve some ceasless goal. These dragons are the source of many negative stigmas against dragons, as their compulsions make them irrational and often lead them to become insolent, antisocial, or even violent. Roughly thirty percent of all dragons are ambition dragons.

Templar dragons are a group of dragons who seek to make right where ambition dragons have done wrong. They may be part of the actual Temple of Dragon Knights, an order of dragons seeking to cure the draconic ambition affliction and doing damage control or prevention in the meantime, or they may simply be dragons who feel it is their duty to help others for one reason or another. Roughly fourty percent of all dragons claim to be aligned with the templar ideal, even if they themselves are not true dragon templars.

Independent dragons are simply neither of these; they have not succumbed to draconic ambition, nor do they seek to redeem their people. Independent dragons often face scorn from both sides of dragon society: ambition dragons admonish them for their lack of ambition, while templar dragons may resent them for preceived disregard for the plight of afflicted dragons and the harm they cause.

Beliefs

A dragon's beliefs are largely tied to which stratum they belong to.

Ambitious dragons belive only in themselves and their goals. Occassionally, their goals may align with those of another individual or group, in which case they are certain to be willing to cooperate with others. Often, though, ambitious dragons seek what they believe to be the most direct route to their goal, which often means cutting through anything or anyone that stands between them and their objective.
Mandatory Edicts Persue your ambition, seek the most direct path to your goal. Mandatory Anathema Take an action that would hamper your ability to persue your ambition.

Names

Dragons tend to have a single, lengthy name in draconic, typically paired with a title indicitive of their character or some great deed they've done. Templar dragons typically receive their title from others, while ambition dragons tpyically give themselves an often self-agrandizing title. Independent dragons may obtain a title from others, or give themselves a title that represents who they think they are or who they want to be, and some independents opt not to use a title at all.

Sample Names: Aishivarenn, Drazeenerathar, Kallizandrex, Rovrureirth Tarsayarreth, Uzzedralltrix, Varvaxelyndrill
Sample Titles: Bringer of Justice, Defender of the Lowlands, Keeper of Peace, Master of Coin, The Righteous, The True King of the Mountains
