ABYSSAL
DRAGON,
THE
Abyssal Dragons have no colour. In fact they look either
completely black or are not seen at all. Its eyes are jet black, but they
sparkle purple slightly. Abyssal Dragons
have the ability to pass between realms and live in the
Etherial Void. If exposed to
sunlight, they will die, leaving their hide behind and nothing else. This hide
keeps the same properties as the dragon Did in life, and is prized by assassins
and magic-users.

|
ADAMANT
DRAGON,
THE
The Adamant Dragons are extremely rare but powerful mythical
dragons, who are said to have a gem (an adamant) anchored in their
foreheads, endowing them with nearly god-like powers. One of the most
renknown Adamant Dragons is undoubtedly Ol'dem'brey, who is said to have
been defeated by the young girl Katya Ileri Dain following the Vardýnnian
Atonement. Kayta later on became Erpheronian queen Katya the Just for her
imcomparable courage to confront the supposedly invincible dragon.

|
ASTRAL
DRAGON,
THE
The Astral Dragon is the Abyssal Dragon’s counterpart. The only difference
between the two is the eyes: the Astral Dragon’s are much brighter, and appear
to harbour twin galaxies. Astral Dragons
are said to be able to stand some light, but in direct sunlight or strong
moonlight it will die and leave behind its hide.
|
|
AURORA
DRAGON,
THE
The Aurora Dragon is black with lights that ripple through its skin, indicating
at the powerful magic that it commands. The lights can indicate the
Dragon’s
moods, but Aurora Dragons may also use them to deceive. This
Dragon lives mainly
in the clouds, and has the ability to hover or to move without using physical
means of propulsion. Its magic is slightly less powerful than the Adamant
Dragon's.
|
|
BUTTERFLY
DRAGON, THE
The Butterfly Dragon is about the size of a cat; it has bright, vibrant colors,
and is very delicate-looking. But that does not mean that it is harmless.
A Butterfly Dragon
holds powerful life magic which it can use for healing purposes. But if it feels
threatened, it can kill living creatures in a heartbeat. However, its
disposition is naturally trusting unless it was put through some sort of trauma.
|
|
CLOUD
DRAGON,
THE
The Cloud Dragon is quite unusual. It has a rounded appearance that most dragons
do not, and its hide is extremely soft. It is pure white and has blue eyes.
Cloud Dragons
live in the sky and conceal themselves in the clouds. It feeds on water in any
state.
|
|
EMERALD
SEA
DRAGON,
THE
The Emerald Sea Dragon, after the Adamant Dragon, is one
of the three most powerful dragons. It has the appearance of a normal
Dragon, with the exception of being sleeker and having
webbed feet. It has a blue-green color that is brilliant
especially in the sunlight and has a strange refractive property. This factor
has led to its name. The Emerald Sea Dragon lives
underwater and sleeps on the bottom of whatever waterway it currently inhabits.
This Dragon wields magic as potent as the Adamant
Dragons, possibly even slightly more powerful.
|
|
DAWN
DRAGON,
THE
The Dawn Dragon comes out in the day just after sunrise. It has a grayish cast
with light blue streaks starting at its eyes and continuing down its body to the
tip of its tail. However, in contrast to the rest of the Dragon,
its eyes are a vibrant yellow. It cannot
cast any magic.
|
|
DUSK
DRAGON,
THE
The Dusk Dragon has the same basic coloring as the Dawn
Dragon, but the streaks
are purple, and its eyes are coal black. It is basically the nocturnal version
of the Dawn Dragon, and also possesses no magic.
|
|
FIRE
DRAGON,
THE
The Fire Dragon gets its name from the hues of it' scales, which are
varying shades of red. Adult males often have a black striping of scales
that start at the crest of their head and continue down their back.
Fire Dragons can most commonly be found in volcano's
near the lava. They are very agressive, territorial, and dangerous,
making them creatures often best left alone.
The second reason that the Fire Dragon has earned its name is
through its gratuitous use of fire. It has no use of
magic whatsoever, but out
of all species they have the ability to breathe fire for a longer period of
time. Their flames are well feared for often has a village fallen
prey to the scorching flames of an angry
Fire Dragon.
|
|
FROST
DRAGON,
THE
Among the smallest and least intelligent of dragonkind, Frost Dragons are merely
feral predators. The snowy faces of these wintery beasts show more ferocity
rather than the slyness of their more powerful kin. The Frost Dragon has large,
plated scales in various pale shades and prefers cold, icy climates.
Frost Dragons have a coloring like ice: very light blue or white and are named
after their frosted appearance. They are one of the most elegant and sleek
looking dragons of all
Caelereth, and live in the mountains of Cyhalloi in the
far north. A small population can
also be found in the Tandala mountains on
the border of Santharia.
|
|
GIANT
DRAGON,
THE
Giant Dragons can be any type of Dragon, but
come in enormous sizes. Giant Dragons range
from two to ten times the size of the average dragon of their type. Their magic
abilities usually don't change based on their size.
Giant Dragons often play central roles in heroic stories, where single
persons are said to have defeated such powerful beasts, which usually can
resist whole armies.
|
|
HORNED
DRAGON,
THE
The Horned Dragon
is accountable as the most common type of great
drakes known in the world of Caelereth.
The most noticeable feature on a Horned Dragon
which make them relatively easy to identify is, not surprisingly, their horns.
The size, shape and positioning of these horns varies tremendously from dragon
to dragon. The
average size of an adult Horned Dragon
is 7 peds including the tail, and they have a life span of 300-400 years. Unlike
other drakes, the Horned Dragon
indeed does use its wings to fly long distances, although this happens very
seldom. They are mainly found in the Tandala
Highlands at the northern border
of the Santharian
Kingdom.
|
|
ICE
DRAGON,
THE
The Ice Dragon or Evathón'Dalá
is approximately 20 peds in height from base of their body to the tip of its head. Wing span is equaling
its body length and the tail varying from the same to double that of the body.
Definitely a huge dragon. Living in the colder
areas of Caelereth, the Ice Dragon is able
to withstand extreme colds. It also has the ability to fly to great heights,
often using the clouds and its skin to reflect the colours of the cloud and pass
by the main lands un-noticed by the life below. These
dragons also have the ability to swim in water for a limited amount of time.
|
|
LINDORM,
THE
Cyhalloian legends speak of a giant, serpent-like beast of
the dark pits in barren and reclusive lands, around 30
peds long and with
dragon-like forelegs, pairs of lesser hind legs and
a terrible head with a leering, fang-filled mouth and cold, hypnotic eyes -
the Lindorm. The Lindorm uses a powerful hypnotic ability to lure its
victims; both to ease the hunt for the beast and also making the enslaved
thrall carry out the wicked-hearted creature's biddings. Unseen by most as
its skin adapts to the environment like the shapeshifter, it always attacks
with surprise; striking fear in its foes. It is said to be unnaturally
intelligent and even sentient-like and uses its power for dark purposes, but
this is yet to be confirmed.
|
|
LUNAR
DRAGON,
THE
Comes out when the moon is out and
usually hunts during the new moon. They go all the
rest of the time without eating. Lunar Dragons are great scholars
and possess powerful magic.
|
|
MIST
DRAGON,
THE
The Mist Dragon is closely related to the Shadow
Dragon and his also as huge as this beast.
It has the same skills, except that its solid state is a light gray and
that it
appears as mist instead of shadow. Like the Shadow Dragon,
the Mist Dragon is able to hover
or move without its wings, as well as allowing solid objects to either pass
through or be blocked by it, although persons would feel moisture against their
skin.
|
|
OPAL
DRAGON,
THE
Another one of the three most powerful Dragons after the
Adamant. Like the Emerald Sea Dragon, the
Opal Dragon has a strange property to its skin, but instead of being
green and refractive, it has a milky white skin that has traces of red, green,
and blue drifting in it. It lives on land and rests
underground in a burrow or cave. It has also powerful
magic compareable to the Adamant Dragons.
|
|
RESONANCE
DRAGON,
THE
Ancient texts and
tablets, dusty scrolls from long ago, tell of a dragon incomparable to
any known today. The echo of their song has fallen out of the memory of those
souls today that wander without so great a love and respect of music, of
mystical vibrations that course through the
earth, through the vast empyrean. Those sounds are but whispers telling
secrets to those who have a spirit that resonates from their area, resonates
from the song of the Resonance Dragon.
|
|
SEA
DRAGON,
THE
Sea Dragons mainly live in the seas and in subterranean caverns
below the sea. The are capable of flying and can cast magic, but their most
feared ability is their breath weapon: Sea Dragons are able to spew
clouds of scalding hot steam, capable of boiling flesh from bones, up to a
distance of ten peds. The Sea
Dragon's appearance may make it appear to be rather harmless but this is quite
far from reality. They are capricious, ill-tempered, the
most disagreeable and sadistically cruel creature on the face of Caelereth. They believe all other
creatures are beneath them, even other dragon
species.
|
|
SHADOW
DRAGON,
THE
Shadow Dragons are among the largest
forms of dragonkind and are very powerful. Their
magic is almost as strong as that of the Adamant Dragon. Shadow
Dragons are able
to hover in the air or move without using their wings. But their most unique
trait is the fact that they are able to appear as shadows, and this is where
their name comes from. They are also able to turn completely invisible, or go
into a solid state in which they are completely black. The Shadow dragon can
allow people to pass through it or not at will, but they will feel an odd
sensation.
|
 |
SHAPECHANGER
DRAGON,
THE
Shapechanger Dragons are perhaps the most rare of all existing
dragons, probably there only exists a handful on the
whole plane of Caelereth. These
dragons possess the powerful ability to change into the
shape of any living form they desire. They are not
fire-breathing. Instead they are powerful
spell casters said to almost be as strong as the most powerful of the
dragons, the Adamant Dragons. If they do journey out
into the world it is normally to attain treasure and wisdom or to observe the
other races. These dragons prefer to stay away from
other dragons, to include their own kind, while in
dragon form. They are estimated to have a lifespan of
10 to 11 thousand years, although some of them live much longer and others
considerably shorter. Most of these dragons have probably existed since the
beginning of time and are considered "immortals". Because of the fact that
mating between Shapechangers is very rare (at least this is what is told in the
ancient tomes of the Northlanders) the species shrinks more and more. It is
supposed that there are only a few dozen left in the whole world. In fact, their
very existence is doubted by many people even though there exist reports which
seem to prove their existence.

SOLAR
DRAGON,
THE
Comes out in the daytime. During solar eclipses, the Dragon
tends to watch the sun disappear
and fly around its home until it returns. Usually a warrior. Has powerful
magic.
|
|
SPIRIT
DRAGON,
THE
The Spirit Dragon
in its spiritual form appears as a small orb of light
and energy just before it manifests into this form and just before it
returns to the soul of the person it inhabits. Spirit
Dragons do not have any
real territory. They live in the spirit of a person, where
they obtain the necessary energy to live.
When a person dies they move to a new spirit. In
their manifested form Spirit Dragons appear as large
dragons with brilliant blue scales.
|
|
SUNSET
DRAGON,
THE
(LASTFLAME
DRAGON)
The Sunset Dragon or
Lastflame Dragon is closely related to the now extinct Injèrá Dragon. Like
the Injèrá Dragon, it draws strength from the
sun, shares the Injèrá Dragon’s
vibrant gold and red colourings, and is one of the very few
dragons that give birth to live young. Unlike the
Injèrá Dragon, it does not depend solely on the sun for its strength,
but does require the light of the sun
for the ability to blow fire and use its
wind magic. It also lacks the distinctive unicorn-like
horn that the Injèrá Dragon bore, and has streaks of purple throughout its
colouring. The Sunset Dragon's name is derived from its colouring, and that
it prefers to play its unique pipe music in the evening hours near sunset.
