School of the Bird's Looping

*Life is like an air stunt. Whatever you do, don't fall down!*
    —The school motto
The **School of the Bird's Looping** is a school specializing in Aeromancy. Wizards come here to get the best education in Aeromancy.

## Appearance

The **School of the Bird's Looping** is a giant eagle-shaped flying vehicle performing stunts all the time. A lot of gravitational spells are used to keep the students with their feet on the ground and to prevent them from becoming sick. Every summer, the vehicle stays rooted on the ground, and is airborne for the school year. It is controlled by an advanced A.I. called P.E.R.E.G.R.I.N.E (Particularly Egregious Robotic Entity Guide Regarding the Interesting Needs of Everyone) who functions as a guidance counsellor to the students.
Snopaw Dragon

*While exploring the cold tundras, Wizard Atten Burrow stumbled upon these curious dragons, with some swimming about in the ice-cold waters while others would swipe snow at each other. A playful snowball for them, but an avalanche to your average Wizard. Either their hides are so thick that they don't freeze, or they just enjoy a bit of cold, as it doesn't seem to bother them either way.*
    —Nogard's description of the **snopaw dragon** in The Book of Dragons
The **Snopaw Dragon** is a rare triple hybrid of the Cold, Water, and Light elements. It's main element is Cold.

## Habitat

### Regions

Snopaw Dragons live exclusively in very cold arctic and subarctic regions like tundras, ice sheets, and coastal areas near the The Far North and The Frozen Highlands.

## Diet

Snopaw Dragons primarily eat arctic animals like seals, polar bears, and caribou that are adapted to living in cold climates. Their diet provides them with blubber and fat to help insulate their bodies from the cold.

## Lifestyle

### Behavior and Personality

Snopaw Dragons are playful yet hardy creatures. As shown by their snowball fights, they enjoy roughhousing but their thick skins mean snow and ice don't bother them. They are curious but not aggressive towards wizards unless threatened. Their sociable nature helps them survive the isolating cold.

### Social Order

Snopaw Dragons live in pods of 5-20 members that include adults, juveniles, and hatchlings. The pods are led by an alpha female who helps coordinate hunting and keeps order. Males compete to mate but are otherwise less dominant. The pods cooperate to find food and care for young.

### Relationship to Wizards

Snopaw Dragons are intrigued by but not hostile towards wizards unless provoked. Wizard Atten Burrow was able to observe them undisturbed. Their strong scales make casual magic like snowballs harmless. Wizards study pods to learn how dragons have adapted to polar extremes.

## History

### Discovery

Wizard Atten Burrow came across a pod of Snopaw Dragons swimming and playing in an arctic tundra region. It was one of the first documented observations of this rare dragon species adapted to withstand polar environments.

### Origin of Name

The name "Snopaw" comes from the dragon's snow-covered paws ("snopaws") that allow them to walk on snow and ice without sinking or freezing. Their padded paws also leave identifiable tracks.
Sagitaria Dragon

*From the Scrolls of the Zodia Rift:
**Sagitaria**, tenth, eyes sharp as can betrots through the land with accuracy.
When friends are stuck in the narrows, help and guidance soar like arrows.*
    —The description of the **sagitaria dragon** in The Revised Book of Dragons
The **Sagitaria Dragon** is an epic dragon of the Zodia element.

### Other Abilities

**Sagitaria dragons** can launch itself forward like an arrow and break the sound barrier with ease. They can also use a weak form of Pyromancy.

### Breath Weapon

Much like the rest of the zodia dragons, **sagittarius dragons** can breath Starfire.

## Habitat

### Regions

The **sagittarius dragons** live in the realm beyond the Zodia Rift with the rest of the zodia dragons.

## History

### Origin of Name

**Sagitaria dragons** are named after their ability to lunch themselves like an arrow. "Sagitaria" is a word in Zodian language which means "archer".
Plateau Dragon

* Juvenile
* Baby
* Egg
 **DDLA Rank:** | 1

*One of the most docile dragons in the Vale is the **plateau dragon**. These slow-moving behemoths will often plop down for hours on end, flexing nary a scale as they soak up the sunshine. In fact, they're so un-botherable, they've been known to let little Valekins climb around on their heads. The kids call it "Summiting"--first one to the top wins! But don't worry--the magical markers of the hidden habitat will keep the kids at bay in your park.*
    —Nogard's description of the **Plateau Dragon** in The Book of Dragons

The **Plateau Dragon** is an epic dragon of the Hidden element.

## Appearance

This dragon is among the largest dragons in the world, however those you see in parks have been genetically altered to be small, otherwise they would never fit on the island, let alone their habitat.

## Abilities

### Defenses

Their rocky skin can protect them from the strongest attacks.

### Breath Weapon

**Plateau dragons** have similar breath to the earth dragons breath, but the **plateau dragons** can shoot an entire rain of large boulders.

## Diet

They eat rocks and minerals. There are some cases that a single **plateau dragon** bit off entire mounds.

## Lifestyle

### Behavior and Personality

**Plateau dragons** are among the laziest and calmest dragons in the world. There is almost no record of them being even a little annoyed from a single fly.

### Relationship to Wizards

**Plateau dragons** don't really feel threatened by anything. They also don't really threaten anything either. You can even walk on them without knowing it, and the only way something can ever be harmed by one is if they are accidentally trampled. DDLA has ranked them as 1.

## Trivia

* The **plateau dragon** holds the record for largest dragon in the world, according to the Diagio Book of World Records. In fact, park-bred **plateau dragons** are genetically modified to be smaller in order to not take up all the space in their habitat! (And to reduce the temptation for little kids to climb them.)
Ruckus Dragon

*A baby **ruckus dragon** woke up in a meadow and stumbled to its feet. As it lost its balance, it smacked up against an invisible barrier. The dragon shook its head and attempted to walk. It banged right into an apparent obstacle yet again...
**THE NIGHT BEFORE**
The rambunctious **ruckus dragon** bounced around admiring a gathering of spellform dragons. It hopped to each one, surveyed their impressive stature, and flicked its tongue out. It arrived face to face with a quantum dragon and grinned ear to ear. The **ruckus dragon** pogoed and incessantly bugled its buzzing kazoo of a tongue. This went on far too long as evidenced by the dreary look on the quantum dragon's face. Soon, every dragon in the vicinity was staring at the obnoxious display.
The quantum dragon waved its wing in front of the **ruckus dragon** and the noise stopped instantly. When it jumped, the precocious dragon bopped its head on an invisible force field. It tried to escape the incomprehensible enclosure but could not. The quantum dragon relaxed and sighed, but the **ruckus dragon** was clearly not amused anymore and voiced its dissatisfaction even though no dragon could hear it.
**PRESENT DAY**
The quantum dragon woke up to see its bubble shield still intact. It gritted its teeth and winked. The invisible field dissipated and the **ruckus** baby was free. It looked around and spotted the guilty spellform dragon. The enraged baby trumpeted a furious buzz from its unfurling forked tongue. It sounded very different than the previous night.
\*This dragon must be level 4 or higher to wear a Style*
    —Nogard's description of the **Ruckus Dragon** in The Book of Dragons
The **Ruckus** **Dragon** is an epic hybrid of the Moon, Sun, Fire, and Light elements. It's main element is Moon. It's also one of the dragons that can undergo Enhancement.
Sandscale Dragon

**DDLA Rank:** | TBA

*"If you're taking a stroll on a beach, keep watch for **sandscale dragons** soaking up the sun. If you accidentally step on an outstretched wing, those dragons will let you know you've crossed a line. Their reaction is no more than a startling grunt but it has rubbed a few wizards the wrong way. Even though **sandscale dragons** don't hold grudges, some Valefolk still claim they are a little rough around the edges."*
    —Nogard's description of the **sandscale dragon** in The Book of Dragons
The **Sandscale Dragon** is a Rift Dragon of the Earth, Light, and Rift elements. Its main element is Earth.
School of the Hidden Bolt

*"Sparking curiosity."*
    —The school motto
The **School of the Hidden Bolt** is a magic school which practices Erebomancy and Electromancy. It also teaches a lot of Phantasmancy to students.

## History

The history of the School of the Hidden Bolt is unknown.

## Appearance

The School of the Hidden Bolt is located on the bank of the Ether River. It is a dark purple castle with a striking design. It is almost always dark there, even during daytime. Random strikes of lightning are something that the students have to get used to. Students also have to get used to the school being very dark. However, a lot of the students like how dark the school is.

## Students

Students provide a mischievous yet cunning vibe to the school, which can be mistaken as evil, giving Hidden Bolt a reputation. Hidden Bolts also tend to be risk-takers, ranging from very reckless to very thought-out risks. The school has a big rivalry with the School of the Icy Torrent. It goes to the point that if an Icy Torrent has to go to Hidden Bolt, a fight is likely to break out.

Snapper Dragon

*"Some believe the snapper dragon is at the center of an unusual legend about the origin of the world. So it's told, the Surface land from whence the Vale islands were carved rests on the back of a giant shelled dragon. And that dragon, too, rests on the back of another shelled dragon. And what do you know--that dragon, in turn, rests on the back of yet \*another\* shelled dragon. And what, you ask, does that dragon teeter atop? Why, it's shelled dragons all the way down! So the legend goes, anyway."*
    —Nogard's description of the snapper dragon in The Book of Dragons

The nightmare, omen dragons, and any dragon of the Spooky element also have a limited amount of control over it. It is often confused with Oneiromancy.

## Notable Phantasmancers

* Whitbee
* Sam Hain
Oni Dragon

Fire

*"Oni dragons may look like they can live in any stark environment, but in actuality they love a comfortable den made of found objects around the Vale. Leaves, scraps of yarn, and even discarded Valefolk clothing are ideal for their makeshift bedding. Gwyddion the Great Nogard claims to have seen on lash out during this odd ritual. The oni dragon was diligently crafting its sleeping quarters when tree branches whirled in from a westward wind and decimated the dragon's hard work. The oni dragon drew its club-tail back and with one fell swoop, shattered them into a thousand pieces. It is rumored that the oni dragon smirked and started over again."*
    —Nogard's description of the oni dragon in The Book of Dragons
The **Oni Dragon** is a rare triple hybrid of the Earth, Fire and Cold elements. It's main element is Earth. It is also categorized under the Spooky element as well.

School of the Metallic Flood

*"Survive us, survive anything."*
    —The school motto
The **School of the Metallic Flood** is a school which practices Metallomancy and Hydromancy.

## History

Antonio von Sickengen was always interested in Quicksilver Dragons. Even after he discovered one of the rarest Epic dragons, the Platinum Dragon, he kept on studying quicksilvers instead of studying the new species.

 One day, he was bothered with how few young wizards studied both Metallomancy and Hydromancy. He knew it was mainly because there was no school with them both, and you would have to go to multiple schools to practice them both. Antonio wanted a school with both types of magic.

Antonio knew he used almost never the bottom floor of his very large mansion. So, he moved the few things on his bottom floor to the top floor, and uses the bottom floor as a school. The school mainly studies quicksilver dragons who are bred in the terrain behind the mansion and even though it does not have that many students compared to for example the School of the Red Flower, it has made a lot of growth the few years it exists and will surely keep growing.

## Students

Students are normally bonded to quicksilver, rust, and conch dragons.

### Alumni

* Herald Gripper
* Jorsten Seabound

Tansy Dragon

*Inspiration for the famous Burcadian Egg Hunt carol, this dragon makes all the little Valekins sing:
Here comes big ol' fluffy tail,
Flying down the racing trails,
Flappity flappity, wings are making way!
Bringin' all the visitors,
Breath-blash tricks and Egg Hunt roars,
Give tansy a Burcadian hooray!*
    —Nogard's description of the **tansy dragon** in The Book of Dragons

The **Tansy Dragon** is an Epic dragon of the Hidden element.
Rainbow

**Rainbow** is an Epic element.

## Rainbow Magic

Rainbow magic, or chromamancy, manifests in many ways. It can create pictures, hallucinations and visions, change the color and appearance of objects, inspire creativity, and cause reckless, spontaneous behavior and an insane overflow of emotions.

## Characteristics of Rainbow dragons

Dragons of the **rainbow** element are intelligent, creative, long lived (up to 3000+ years), colorful and friendly. Most of them use magic to fly while some have wings. The population on both Earth and in the Vale is small, but rumors are these dragons live in huge populations in the place no human or wizard will ever reach, Far Beyond the Horizon.

Ouroboros

The Ouroboros is a serpentine-like creature that symbolizes the ending of the world. It is heavily associated with bad luck, death and evil witches or wizards. Despite sharing the same name with the Ouroboros Dragon, they are not related to each other whatsoever.

## Appearance

The Ouroboros is a large serpent and considered to be the most feared. It has a big head with a row of spikes protruding backwards like horns, it's face is covered in thick plate-like scales and the beast has a ferocious jaw armed with sharp, serrated teeth curving backward with a strong beak ontop. The serpent is the second longest, only behind the Basilisk, and can reach up to 66 feet in length. It's entire body is covered in jagged pieces of armor running to the end of the thick tail.

## Behaviour

This is the most feared serpent, and many people spread rumors about it mass killing tens of hundreds of harmless animals just to satisfy it's bloodthirst, but in actuality, the Ouroboros is a lot less violent than other species of serpents, particularly the Basilisk. It can usually be found lying lazily under the intense heat of the sun to warm itself, and rarely ever battle any witches or wizards it encounters, but should one does, the serpent's raw brute strength will instantly result in death.

## Diet

Ouroboros (*plural: Ourobori*) are known to feed on anything that they encounters, except for humans in which they found revolting.

## Venom

The Ouroboros, contrary to popular belief, is not the most venomous serpent, but rather it's venom is injected in large quantity so the effects are very similar to that of a Basilisk, which is actually most venomous creature. The venom acts like both a neurotoxin and a paralyzing agent, rendering the victim into a vegetative state.

## Relationship to wizards

Ourobori are generally held as symbols of despair and death so it is understandable that the majority of the wizarding community despises this species. Most people tend to avoid them and hunting parties are sent across forests to kill as many of these serpents as possible, but most fails because the Ourobori are too powerful to be tackled with. A small part of conservationists had attempted to partially domesticate a group of Ourobori so that they would get used to human interactions and therefore make it easier to study them in their natural habitat.
Ophiuchus

**Ophiuchus** is a mysterious and destructive force that absorbed the Zodia dragons for millennia and destroyed the entire Zodian culture. No one really sure what was Ophiuchus, some believe it's a spirit of chaos, other believe that it was some sort of an evil legendary dragon. All that is known about this force is that it was probobly associated with snakes becuse "Ophiuchus" is the zodian word of "snake".
Wavelyte Dragon

* Juvenile
* Baby
* Egg

*Don't pet the **wavelyte dragon** for at least 30 minutes after eating. Wait sorry, wrong scroll-that's the rule for swimming in the ocean. Waves, **wavelyte**... you understand the mixup. Anyway, the **wavelyte dragon** likes visitors to pay it attention anytime, especially if they share whatever they're eating.This dragon cannot be breed at this time.*
    —Nogard's description of the **wavelyte dragon** in The Book of Dragons
The **Wavelyte Dragon** is an epic dragon of the Crystalline element.

## Abilities

### Weaknesses

The wavelyte dragon's magic cannot be strengthened by Pretty Stones because it hates the taste of them.

## Habitat

### Regions

Wavelyte dragons live in the seas around The Shimmering Isles.

### Sheltering/Nesting

Wavelyte dragons make small depressions on the beaches of The Shimmering Isles, where they sleep. When day returns, they go back into the sea.

## Lifestyle

### Relationship to Wizards

Wild wavelyte dragons act very shy towards wizards, but with time, the wavelyte dragon can adjust and form a friendship or even a bond with its wizard.
Summer Dragon

* Juvenile
* Baby
* Egg

*While researching seasonal magic in the far off Forests of Farn, the wizard Shamash discovered the **summer dragon** one evening by tripping over it. Thankfully, the dragon didn't mind or even bother to wake up. Since then, **summer dragons** have been famed as the hardest sleeping dragons, probably because they are some of the most active dragons during the day!*
    —Nogard's description of the **Summer Dragon** in The Book of Dragons
The **Summer Dragon** is an epic dragon of the Seasonal element.

## Abilities

### Weapons

These dragon's wings are as cruel as they are beautiful. They are harder than corundum and sharper than the edge of a glass prism. They move so fast that they can slice anything coming too close in a thousand pieces.

### Defenses

When the wing-plan fails, the **summer dragon** can shoot a stinking and paralyzing liquid at its attacker, allowing the dragon to flee. It flies very fast.

## Lifestyle

### Breeding

The **summer dragon** can be bred from two dragon with the Fire, Lightning, and Water elements. These dragons can only be breed during the summer season.

### Habitats

The **summer dragon** can live in Omnitats and Seasonal habitats.

Shamash studied it all night, until the dragon woke and fell on top of previously asleep Shamash.

### Origin of Name

The **summer dragon** was named after the summer season since its the most active during this time.

Ramanara

Ramanara is a Legendary Dragon in the Burcadian myths. She is the mate of Noslomoth, and is depicted in one of the 12 great lumilith windows, The Vernal Glass.

## The Vernal Glass

She is shown in the panel of the Glass, and it is thought that the two dragons are mates and had created the first Nursery to nurture and hatch dragon eggs.

## Existence

Ramanara's existence has not been clarified by any reliable sources and it is likely that she, and her mate Noslomoth had either been made up by tales or disappeared a long time ago like Sorec the Thunderer. Dragonologist had all agreed that if these two did exist, they were the second generation of Legendary Dragons, not as powerful as the first generation, but much more diverse.

## Power

Ramanara had been speculated to be able to create new life, nurture eggs and create loving feelings between dragons and non-dragons alike, though she does not have the ability to create new Legendary Dragons like her mother, Gaia. She is also thought to be the goddess of Life, Happiness and Love, while her mate Noslomoth is the exact opposite of her's.

This is where most of the shops are, and also houses some Treat Farms and restaurants. At the highest parts of the Cælitumbazaar is where government officials live, as well as the locations of areas that are used for breeding dragons.
Terra

She did not reveal to the rest of the Vale what that difference was, but according to her there \*is\* a difference and she discovered it. It also must be noted that she has no relation to Mr. Terra, it is just a mere coincidence.
Ribbon Dragon

*From the homework scrolls of the House of the Icy Torrent:
A herald of the winter's tidings is the **ribbon dragon's** gliding!
Streaming serenely through the sky, the **ribbon dragon** loves to fly.
It wraps between the darkest clouds a thread of color, clear and proud.
Should you look up and see a glimmer, it might be the **ribbon dragon's** shimmer!*
    ——Nogard's description of the **Ribbon Dragon** in The Book of Dragons

Tempestatimancy

Tempestatimancy is a hybrid magic known as storm magic. It is related to, or made up of a combination of, Cryomancy, Aeromancy, Electromancy and Hydromancy. Wizards who associate themselves with Tempestatimancy usually bond multiple dragons comprising three or four of the above elements, so they may more fully understand and practice 'storm magic.'

## Branches of Tempestatimancy

Different tempestatimancers specialize in different kinds of storms, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, and thunderstorms.

## Applications in Wizardry

Tempestatimancers are essential to averting natural disasters and keeping people safe.
South Dragon

*Hailing from the unexplored expanses of The Surface's southern realms, the South Dragon is well-suited to hot, dry climates. To ensure this heat-loving dragon would be comfortable on its return journey, the explorer wizard Glenn Yuri crafted a special in-flight habitat on his supermagical ship. To this day, he's still cleaning sand out of the cracks, but it was worth it!*

—The description of the **South dragon** in The Revised Book of Dragons

Wizard Schools

Between the ages of 12 and 18, after graduating from primary school and having learned all the basic knowledge needed to be a wizard, young witches and wizards will attend one of many magical boarding schools each devoted to the study of two primary elements.

This is, of course, after the Bonding Ceremony, when young students choose and bond their first dragon. The Bonding Ceremony determines, to a degree, which school a student will attend, because students almost always attend a school matching the elements of their bonded dragon.

All of these schools are focused around the study of magic and the care of dragons. Schools also teach mundane (non-magical) subjects concurrently. Different schools specialize in different mundane subjects, typically those that become the traits of their students.

*Does the Rift have oceans? Lakes? Ponds? Streams? Little is known about the geography within the Rift, but if the **water rift dragon** is any indication, there's bound to be water in there somewhere. Heck, maybe there's a portal in the depths of the Rift's oceans that leads to the Surface waters below the Vale! Maybe keep an eye on this dragon--track its whereabouts, see what it knows. You never know, you know?*

The Science of Islands

## Harvesting

Islands are made from magic dust harvested from various locations throughout the Vale. But not all islands are harvested, some are found. Most of the Islands that special wizards use are often found and they use complicated magic to allow them to be in more than one place at a time.

## Internal Structure

The internal structure of islands is full of pipes to bring water and transport waste, vaults for storing gems, coins and treats, and housing for the many workers that populate a DragonVale island.

## Enchanting

Getting an island to float involves air magic. An island must be stabilized using lightning and earth magic, and temperature-controlled using cold and fire magic. Time magic is used when wizards have special event, this allows the island to be in multiple places at once.

## Expanding

Groups of islands are bound together using complex magic so they don't crash into each other or float away. The stability of a group of islands decreases with each successive island added, so the spells are even more complex, take more time, and cost more money.
The Great Evolution

The Great Evolution was an event that occurred throughout the Vale during the millennium the wizards spent suspended in the sky on floating islands. While the wizards had retreated from the Surface, magic and the dragons bearing it evolved, spawning new elements and species. This necessitated the creation of The Revised Book of Dragons and the study of new forms of magic.
Wink Dragon

*You might think the **Wink Dragon** is quite the cheeky critter, what with all of the whimsical winking, but the **Wink Dragon** is actually named of falling asleep. These brief naps - catching a wink, you see - seem to give these dragons a great reserve of energy. They mostly use the energy for snatching up loose dragon treats... which naturally leads to more naps, and so cycle goes.*
    ——The description of the **Wink Dragon** in The Revised Book of Dragons
The **Wink dragon** is a hybrid dragon of the Fairy and Air elements. Its main element is Fairy.
The Golden Land of Aurandia

**Date of Death:** | Unknown

**Squid** is the Ooze Dragon of the bartender of the Mouth Inn, Ryleh. He was one of the first of his species to escape from the Rift and traveled down The Aichpey River. One day, he was looking for food on the banks of the river, and caused mass panic among the humans. After its meal, it layed before the Inn to daydream, causing even more panic as he blocked the gate of the Inn. The bartender, Ryleh, tamed **Squid** and adopted him, and he quickly became an Erebomancer. **Squid** now has his own luxury suite with a polluted swimming pool in the basement of the Inn.
Smitten Dragon

*"Smitten Dragons are unique in that they form deep bonds with the first person they see after hatching. If you happen to become the target of a smitten dragon's affection, consider yourself lucky! They are among the most lovable, loyal dragons known to wizardkind. Although you'd better get used to a dragon following you around everywhere ( and we mean \*everywhere\*!) --the smitten dragon won't give you a minute alone, even if you just need to use the little wizard's room."*

Umbramancy

Trinket Dragon

Supposedly, the trinket dragon is rumored to have a magical aura that brings good luck when it comes to receiving gifts. The jury is out on whether this dragon really brings good luck, but it certainly brings joy and adorable companionship!*

The Vernal Glass

The Vernal Glass is an ancient artifact created by the Burcadian Civilization during the Magical Egg Hunt to honor the two Legendary Dragons Ramanara and Noslomoth.

## Description

*"Recovered from the great Dragonarium of Burcadia, the Vernal Glass is one of the 12 great lumilith windows that illuminated the scriptorium there. The panel despicts an ancient myth in which the dragons Ramanara and Noslomoth a floating island as a hatchery for their young, high above the perils of the world below."*

## Creation

It is speculated that the ancient Burcadians erected this great monument in memorial of the Legendary Dragons and to honor the Magical Egg Hunt. While this lumilith window may have been inspired by the actual dragons, most Dragonologists agree that the Burcadians simply saw two large dragons soaring among the clouds with a hatchling, and that these two dragons are not considered to be true Legendary Dragons due to the lack of informations about them.

## One of the great lumilith windows

The Vernal Glass, as mentioned above, is one of the great lumilith windows illuminating the scriptorium of Burcadia. While we know that there are 12 other great windows like this, so far, the Vernal Glass is the only one we've found. Many witches and wizards think that the other 12 might depict the seasons or other great events, but Dragonologists had found enough clues to conclude that the next window will depict the mighty Incaendius, a lost Legendary Dragon whose frozen body had been perserved and protected in the National Museum of Treasury and Artifacts.

Sorec the Thunderer

Sorec the Thunderer is a legendary dragon whose existence is considered by some to be myth and considered by others to be fact. Some say he is the brother of Kairos. Most say he is the legendary dragon of war; others say he is an elemental and affiliated with lightning.

## Evidence

Drawings depicting a massive silver dragon with black horns have been found on Burcadian monoliths, and are believed to depict the legendary dragon. Stories of the Thunderer still persist among cold dragon clans. An ancient temple, now ruined, is believed to be the tomb of Sorec, and is the source of most of the knowledge of him. It is full of carvings, most of which are worn away, but three are still readable. The first depicts a dragon strikingly similar to the Burcadian interpretation flying above three mountains. The second depicts the dragon holding a ball of fire in one hand and a key in the other. The third is the most confusing, and seems to depict twelve dragons standing in a circle around an obelisk covered in runes. The runes are a language no wizard has yet been able to interpret, and the twelve dragons do not look anything like known dragon species. Two are wyrms, one is an eight-winged amphithere, one is a six-winged amphithere and the rest are quadruped dracons.

## Mythology

There is not much agreement on the identity of Sorec. He is considered either to be the legendary dragon of war or the legendary dragon of lightning. The latter version of the story would mean he is among the Legendary Elementals, a myth about ten legendary dragons that each ruled the elements. However, most scholars believe that the Legendary Elementals never existed and drawings of them are meant to be personifications of the elements, instead of actual beings that existed.

Sorec's mightiness and power are emphasized in all the stories about him that exist. He is said to be able to pound entire mountains to gravel with his tail and bite lightning bolts in two with his teeth. How a dragon could do such things is beyond dragon scholars.
Snowy Silver Dragon

The Spectre Dragon (poem)

*This article is for the poem. You may be looking for the dragon species, Spectre Dragon.*
**The Spectre Dragon** is a poem written to commemorate the discovery of the spectre dragon. It was written by Ellie the Kind for her previous mentor, The Great Nogard, who in fact discovered the dragon. Nogard liked it so much that he ended up using it in his book, The Book of Dragons, for the entry of the Spectre Dragon.

## Poem

*Once upon a dark night foggy, Nogard awoke, worn and groggy,*

*And looked about at scrolls and tomes of ancient dragon lore.*

*While he drifted, nearly sleeping, came a sound, the sound of creaking,*

*A sound as if some thing were sneaking, sneaking near his tower door.*

*"Tis some visitor", he mumbled, "creeping in the foggy moor-*

*Only this, and nothing more."*

*Gath'ring his courage (and his beard) Nogard stood to see what neared,*

*And looked out his tower window at the distant foggy moor.*

*Then a form came from the dark, ghostly pallored, eerily stark,*

*A shade which made Nogard remark, "What dread awaits me, in my park?"*

*He grabbed his cloak and staff and said, "There's only one way to be sure."*

*And then he walked upon the moor.*

*From the dark there came a grumble, a soft and low kind of rumble,*

*Nogard almost took a stumble, out in the foggy moor.*

*Nogard peered into the black, and what he saw took him aback,*

*A hungry Spectre Dragon pack, to which he sighed and threw a snack.*

*Nogard called out to the dragons as he walked back to the door,*

*"That's all you get, and nothing more!"*
