Dragons

> "And when the evil wyrm was slain; They were in golden coffins lain; Lest the beast be born again; Their vigil is eternal."

From the hidden places of The Land come the mightiest of all living creatures, the Dragons. A mighty, ancient race which was thought to be extinct but recently awakened from their great slumber. All of them are allied with the Land itself and as such fight beside the Elemental League.

Although Draconum believe that Dragons are little more than beautiful predators, the Elementals revere them as the Land's fury incarnate. Seeing Dragon scales (such as the relic Dragonplate) worn by the corruptors of the Land incites the Elementals to vengeance.

There exists an Adventuring Company dedicated to hunting down Dragons - the Dragonslayers.

## History

Throughout the Land the call of an ancient artifact called the Sentinel brought heroes and thieves to the small country of Fairhaven to quest for a new cache of magestone. But the call did not merely bring treasure seekers, but it also awakened the slumbering Dragons of old.

### Post-Breaking

New kinds of great dragons awake in ancient tombs. These beings combine the growth and power of the wild dragons of Wylden forests with the bright intelligence and an ancient wisdom. They declare themselves the true Draconum, but it seems the Draconum nation is as surprised by their coming almost as much as the Atlanteans. Whatever they are and wherever they are from, they claim the Land to be their heirloom; and as their number grows, they may soon have enough force to force that claim.

## Types

Not many types of dragons exist, though they're all fearsome nonetheless:

* Great Fire Dragons. Infused with the power of the Magestone, they are living embodiments of the Elemental force of Fire.
* Polar Ice Dragons. Introduce a new special ability - Magic Freeze! With this ability, the Polar Dragons can inflict a movement token on their targets, effectively slowing their actions in the game.
* Radiant Light Dragons. Warriors fighting alongside these dragons benefit from the healing celestial light that emanates from the Dragon’s gaze. The Dragons will still pack a vicious punch with a strong ranged attack.
* Venomous Shadow Dragons. The powers of these dragons are legendary. They can seem to appear and disappear in thin air, making it impossible to predict what they're going to do next.
* Storm Dragonform. Sarus of the Oathsworn was able to transform into this powerful form akin to a real dragon.
* Apocalypse Dragon, Ny’alka - reborn after several millennia, is again unleashed upon the Land.

## In tabletop

All Dragons have four combat dials.

What doesn't burn, stomp flat. Don't hesitate to enter your dragon into close combat with enemy figures.
