Many people believe Dragons to not be real however there are several reports that they do exist however they are supposedly very rare if they do exist, they can definitely be found in the multiverse though with stories of them circulating around the world of Tamriel with the multiverse wanderer Kasuti allegedly having a very special connection to these creatures as she learnt and became fluent in Dovahzul (the language of the Dragons in Tamriel.)

## Characteristics

Dragons are drawn to riches such as gold and prefer to reside in caves - yet, in a city setting, they will look for a hidden and dim area, such as a sewer and whilst they have the ability to fly and sport talons, scales and bat-like wings in their true form, they will take on human appearances in confined spaces.

Dragons also share a unique connection with Multiverse Wanderers who have obtained the ability to speak the ancient language of Dragons - Dovahzul. This bond is special and revered by a specially selected group of Dragons, who see these Wanderers as a link to their own ancient past and culture as well as one of their own, Dragons hold deep respect for those who have learned their language and are known to offer them guidance and protection while in their world and will even, in rare circumstances. give the Wanderer they have connected with the creature's only weakness so they can serve them for many years and keep the connection stable as a safeguard.

However, the bond between Dragons and Dovahzul-speaking Multiverse Wanderers is not just limited to the living. In rare cases, a group of Dragons may feel a strong attachment to a particular Wanderer, even after their death. In these instances, Dragons will honour the person's last wishes and will by visiting their original world, such as Earth, and carrying out tasks on their behalf as though they were the executors of their requests - Dragons are careful and mindful during this process, ensuring that their activities leave little to no trace and that their exploits remain unseen by the eyes of humans or any other beings who inhabit the Wanderer's world and as a mark of their respect, Dragons hold onto the belongings of the Multiverse Wanderer and horde them like they would precious gold, valuing the connection they shared as cherished and worthwhile.

There was a mention of them existing was during Season 4 of Torchwood: Lincoln City when the being known as The Legion used Dovahzul for a spell that started "The End" as it carried out it's vengeance.

## Lincoln City Episodes

### 2.04 Dragonfire

On a windy afternoon along the River Witham in Lincoln City, a couple, Scott and Natasha, experiences a tranquil walk until they encounter a mysterious winged creature. This creature, described as large, black, terrifying yet strangely beautiful, snatches Natasha away, leaving Scott in shock as he witnesses the abduction. The couple's idyllic walk turns into a nightmare, setting the stage for the unfolding supernatural events as Scott is eventually taken too when he attempts to give chase.

Shane, a private investigator with a background in supernatural cases, catches wind of the strange occurrences and begins his investigation. His exploration along the River Witham reveals unusual scratches on a telegraph pole and scattered scales. Shane, armed with former Torchwood technology and lore, identifies these scales as belonging to a creature with reptilian or bat-like characteristics. As he delves deeper, Shane encounters witnesses and pieces together evidence that leads him to the realization that **Dragons** are involved in the abductions yet he is unsure as Dragons shouldn't exist.

The dragons, thought to be mythical creatures, turn out to be real in this narrative. Their actions involve abducting individuals, including Scott and Natasha, for unknown purposes. The Dragons display a level of cunning, using the abductions as a diversion to steal treasures and artifacts of Tamrielic origin, hinting at a complex motive and as Shane investigates further, he discovers a connection between the Dragons and his former friend and wanderer of the multiverse Kasuti with the demon Lamashtu stating that the Dragons claim to follow Kasuti's "will" after she became fluent in their language thus creating a bond, portraying her as a powerful entity banished from the world. The abductions of virgin women are explained as typical Dragon behaviour as they act as offerings and potential vessels for Kasuti's lost soul. This revelation adds a supernatural layer to the dragons' actions, tying them to a higher, otherworldly power.

The story takes a dark turn when Scott is found murdered by a dragon in a hotel room, and the dragons continue their path of destruction in a bid to avoid witnesses, even attacking law enforcement officers. Shane and Lamashtu's investigation leads them to an abandoned church where they discover and free Laura and Natasha, they don't tell them about Scott's death.

The Dragons soon arrive though and the Dragons' leader reveals Kasuti's role, claiming they serve her due to a debt incurred when she walked among humans. The Dragons, now in a human in disguise, are confronted by Shane and Lamashtu, leading to a fierce battle in which the Dragons ultimately flee deeming the fight a "waste of time", taking Kasuti's treasures with them and leaving Shane and Lamashtu to ponder whether to let them go or pursue them to prevent Kasuti's resurrection.

In a final confrontation, a dragon returns to the church but is subdued by Shane and Lamashtu, using a sword forged in dragon blood. The significance of this weapon suggests a historical connection between Kasuti and dragons, hinting at a deeper, unresolved conflict. As the dragons retreat, Shane contemplates the ongoing threat and the need to keep Kasuti's sword as a precaution.

### 2.07 Firestorm

Their presence is subtly introduced through the mention of a blade, said to be forged in dragon's blood, which becomes a key artifact in the battle against the Archangel Azrael in Loyalton, California. This allusion hints at the Dragons' ancient and mystical origins, as well as their lingering influence in the modern world.

The true extent of their involvement is revealed towards the climax. A man, identified as a Dragon in human form, emerges during the final confrontation with Azrael. He demonstrates immense power, summoning a torrent of flames and speaking an ancient language known as Dovahzul, which he uses to banish Azrael. This decisive intervention illustrates the Dragon's formidable abilities and their deep understanding of celestial and supernatural forces.

Furthermore, the Dragon's actions suggest a guardianship or protective role over the balance of the world. He criticizes Azrael for exploiting the chaos caused by the fire tornado, which the Dragon himself likely created as a lure. This implies that Dragons are strategic players in the supernatural realm, using their powers to maintain balance and counter threats like Azrael, this all happens just before the spirit guide Fiona takes Kyle Macleod and Shane back to Lincoln City with the ancient blade, all is not as it seems though as during the night, a Dragon breaks into Shane's house unnoticed and steals the blade for himself.

### 2.08 The Will of the Wanderer

The Dragons, assuming human form, converge in the sewers of Lincoln City, establishing it as their covert base of operations. This scene sets the tone for their secretive and organized nature. They possess a case containing an ancient blade, a relic of immense power and danger, especially to their kind - Upon gathering, the Dragons engage in a discussion about the fate of the ancient blade. They recognize its lethal potential against their kind, as it was forged from dragon's blood. This moment highlights their wisdom and understanding of their vulnerabilities. They collectively decide that the blade, a threat to their existence, must be destroyed to honor the will of the late Kasuti, a figure of significance to them.

In a ceremonial manner, the Dragons attempt to destroy the blade using a firepit and chanting in Dovahzul, their ancient language. This ritualistic scene underscores their deep connection to their traditions and the mystical aspects of their existence, their ritual is interrupted by Lamashtu, a demon with malicious intent. A fierce battle ensues, showcasing the Dragons' combat abilities and their determination to protect their mission. Despite their strength, they are severely weakened and unable to revert to their true draconic forms due to the confined underground space.

As the confrontation happens, it's revealed in a flashback that the Dragons are the main group involved in a mission to retrieve Kasuti's will, indicating their deep respect and adherence to her desires. However, the aftermath of their confrontation with Lamashtu leaves them decimated, with the implication that their plan to reunite Kasuti's soul with her human form has been jeopardized, Aater the battle, a pale, disoriented figure emerges from the portal the Dragons had been using (later revealed to be Kasuti herself), stepping over their motionless bodies. This scene confirms the Dragons' ritual to bring her soul back from the depths of the multiverse and thus their job of carrying out her will had succeeded.

Later in the story, another Dragon confronts multiverse wanderer and Kasuti's love Scratch, the Dragon claims that Scratch's arrival was not foreseen and had the potential to mess up the Dragons' plans had the Dragon's brethren failed their ritual, this becomes a challenging moment for Scratch when confronted by a Dragon, who accuses him of not being a true companion to Kasuti and labels him a monster as the ancient beast scolds the wanderer in its human form. This confrontation leads to Scratch's emotional turmoil, feeling betrayed and angered by the accusations, yet also revealing his vulnerability as the Dragon, not wanting a fight, simply leaves to let Scratch think about what he said to him.
