Dragons

**Dragons**are creatures in Rise of Darkness and Shards of Fire. They are often portraited by men, elves and dwarves as being evil however that is not always the case; there have been several that have been tamed by people such as Sapphire's Redaxe.

## History

Dragons are said to be one of the oldest living creatures in the world. Upon the arrival of humans, they had to quickly adapt to the dragon's quick-tempered nature. A tribe known as the "dragon slayers" were found and ultimately began killing those which came from the Brass Hills. As for those from the Bronze Mountains, they lived quite a simply life, the dwarves always stuck inside Dragonbreath and never seemed to bother them. Same could be said when the humans migrated.

However, according to the wise folk, the dragons became ill tempered near the Dawn of the Darkness. Festering, they attacked villages and towns. Knowing this could be danger, The Alliance decided to make the dragons extinct. This was successful after the last one was slain in 68 BS.

But, in 30 AS, the dragons rose again from the pits of the Bronze Mountains, but not the Brass Hills this time. They became the Darkness' pets which destroyed villages and towns for Him.

## Science

In the back of a dragon’s throat is a small sack of white phosphorus which glows white when oxygen is breathed in. A dragon gets white phosphorus by the mixture of urine and water, instead of urinating, the urine is stored in an organ near the spine. It is also here where 1/3 of water is stored, after several days, white phosphorus is made and taken to the small sack in the throat. When the dragon wants to breath fire, oxygen is added to the small sack. To get the fire to leave the mouth, traces of alcohol is on the dragons tongue, the tongue can be used as a way to steer the flames to where they want to go. Some dragons also use aluminium and bromine, a more violent reaction however dragons must feed on both ingredients, which is nearly impossible to get bromine unless in an insoluble form.

## Species
