Dragon Breath
Dragons are legendary creatures known for their sheer size, and iconic destructive breath. These often misunderstood creatures are assumed evil or monstrous, and while yes some of the races of dragons are indeed malevolent, there are far greater dragons that mean well or would rather keep to themselves hidden in their vast caches. They are massive creatures, their scales are thicker than full plate mail. Their kinds vary from Chromatic, Metallic, and even Gem or Planar. They are deeply connected with the lands around them and hold a massive wealth of wisdom. Yet, the constant hunting of their kind often leave most un-trusting of other races.

"No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith. And that, I fear, for any reasoning, conscious being, would be the cruelest trick of all"
- Drizzt Do'Urden

Dragons over the ages have faced a rather cruel rap for their kind. Ask anyone in the realm of dragons and they will tell you tales of a massive monster bent of raiding a village or terrorizing a town. This is often accompanied by tales of a valiant knight upon a horse with lance in hand heroically slaying the dragon and restoring peace to the land. It's amazing what a couple of bad apples can do...
​
Dragons come in countless types and forms. While there are a few who would love nothing more than to destroy mankind and set roost upon the ruins, there are many more that would enjoy nothing more than to keep to themselves. Even further, there are kind and benevolent dragons who seek to spread their knowledge with the world. It seems, once again, the legends do not always match the subject, however, do not think twice that a dragon would not show you what it is fully capable of.
Dragons
Dragons are among the most ancient and powerful races in creation. Primordial beings that ruled over all of creation, millennia before most other species even evolved. Terrible beyond comprehension and cunning these great beasts have their claws in mortal affairs across the realms. Often blending into mortal society manipulating kings and other rulers watching their plans unfold over decades or centuries. Due to infighting and the rise of humanity and the other mortal races, their numbers have dwindled down to nothing. Now those that remain jealously guard their territory and hordes of treasure, many following their own agendas.
From the Majestic Gold who seeks to enforce their own vision of goodly justice to the Terrible and Mighty Red, whose appetite for Destruction and Violence knows no bounds. From the Jovial and comedic Brass to the Cunning and Manipulating Blue behind the scenes plotting and scheming. The existence of dragonkind has left its mark upon the world; reaching heights that few could imagine, and even fewer could dream to achieve.

Notable Dragon Weaknesses
​
-
Severe Mithril Weakness - Stronger than silver, lighter than steel, Mithril seems to emanate an unknown magical aura about it which repulses and destroys the cellular structure of Dragons. 300% damage taken.
-
Weakness to Dragone Bone - Hunters of the ancient past have discovered that a way to hurt dragons is through their own literal heritage. Crafting weapons from their own remains seem to harm a dragon more than conventional steel weapons. 200% damage taken.
-
Elemental Weakness - Dragons are magical creatures, they are attuned to nature and as such, they are drawn to a singular element. Like all magic and nature, this requires balance therefore your opposite element is your bane.
-
Severe Avarice - Dragons are well-known for their lust for riches. Even benevolent dragons harbor a deep and ardent yearning for hoarding gold and other precious items. The more it's worth, the more a dragon must have it. Some dragons may only be distracted by a mere few gold coins, however, others build entire homes around their stash.

Procreation:
​
Gestation is typical to that of a reptile. An egg is laid and hatched. Little is known about the reproduction of Dragons in detail. Only one source has been found:
Rise in glory, Bronze and gold.
Dive entwined, Enhance the Hold.
Count three months and more
And five heated weeks,
A day of glory and
In a month who seeks?
A strand of silver In the sky...
With heat, all quickens
And all times fly.
Therefore three months after the mating flight until clutching, and then five weeks until they hatch.
