Dragons

**Dragons** are one of the many different species living in *Divided Earth*. They are both the most hated and admired creatures alive.

## History

### World of Dragons

Originally, dragons were the sole rulers of the world. They were the most powerful creatures around and acted as tyrants towards all the other species. In time, species ruled over by the dragons united and overthrew the dragons' rule by using magic. Many dragons were killed.

### The Great War

During The Dark Lord's rise to power, he offered dragons to join his army alongside the orcs and goblins in an attempt to cleanse the world and start over. Most dragons accepted this, but a few remained neutral.

When The Dark Lord was defeated, the dragons had no choice but to retreat back to their lives of being hunted. However, due to their tyrannical past and now sided with evil, they were one of the most hated species in the world.

### Rise of Dragon Slayers

in modern times, the number of dragons slayers and monster hunters had grown exceptionally. The number of dragons were dwindling. The three most famous dragon slayers were Adrian Thorn, Sullivan Kane and Sorvin Haggard.

## Behaviour and Lifestyle

### Lairs and Hoards

Dragons are extremely territorial creatures. They become aggressive if they discover trespassers or other dragons are on their territory. In their lairs, they try and hoard up as much treasure as possible. All types of dragons are attracted to valuable shiny objects. The bigger the hoard, the bigger the pride.

Dragons often use cave systems for a home. But in some cases, they take over abandoned structures. An example of this is Rex Caelorum, who resides in an abandoned dwarf stronghold.

### Dragon Season

Mid-Spring is the start of Dragon Season. This is a time of the year, that roughly lasts about four or five months, in which dragons look for a mate. Dragons will often let out a unique roar, this being their mating call.

A dragon's attitude can vary in Dragon Season. Most will actively seek out a mate, some more than others, whereas some may not be interest at all, although rare. Some will be aggressive and some will even be shy.

### Legendary Dragons

Some dragons can earn a reputation and will often end up earning a surname. Legendary dragons often have the biggest lairs and hoards and are have done acts that made them earn their reputation, those most commonly being killing many people.

Their surnames are often a Latin translation for something related to them. For example, Agaddon's surname is Perditor, which translates to 'Destroyer'.

### Relationships with Other Species

Dragons usually have a negative relationship with other species, but the most negative is between Humans and Elves. Humans and elves both hunt dragons, although for different reasons.

Dragons also have a negative relationship with dwarves. This is due to the two competing for treasure. Dragons will often attack dwarf strongholds and forts in attempts to claim their treasure.

Dragons are mostly neutral with orcs, goblins and giants due to their history of working together.

## Biology

There are three different types of dragons: Standard dragons, wyverns and drakes.

The most common is a standard six-limbed dragon, but there can be 4-limbed versions known as wyverns. Wyverns look just like dragons but have no forearms and just wings instead. Wyverns are faster and more agile in the air, but are usually physically weaker. Drakes however, have no wings at all.

Drakes are only either sea dragons or earth dragons. What drakes lose in mobility, they make up for in strength and posses great swimming or burrowing skills. The are also a lot more durable and tend to have thicker scales.

Dragons often live up to 1,000 years old before dying of old age. A dragon is considered a full adult at about 15 and elderly at 850. A dragon reaches its prime at about 200-600 years old.

Dragons are immune to magical effects. This includes most magic attacks, curses, spells, and runes. They are also immune to all magical plagues such as The Living Plague. The only way a dragon can be affected by magic is by either: Consuming magical items such as potions, or through an immensely powerful curse, such as Alastair Mandrake's curse on Agaddon Perditor.

### Elemental Types

* **Fire -** The most common type of dragon, they can be found almost anywhere. They can be either a standard or a wyvern.
