Dragon

Description
Legendary flying creatures. Dragons are beings of magic and have throughout the ages, kept to themselves. Their scales range from a multitude of colors and genealogy does not dictate the color of their offspring's scales. They have the ability of longevity and live eternally unless mortally wounded. Spinespike development differs per dragon but they all grow sharp claws and fangs that require routine sharpening. A Dragon will continue to grow after it hits maturity, but the change in size becomes less dramatic and only noticeable over long periods of time.

Origins
Dragons primarily live on the main island, as well as the smaller ones around it, of Dorgrimyrr. According to legend the first Dragon was made by the gods and had scales of gold and was given a partner of equal beauty. Throughout the ages, they remained in solitude, living off the generous surplus of livestock that roamed freely.

Mating
It is not unheard of that two Dragons will leave each other and seek new mates but in most cases Dragons mate with only one partner. A clutch, or dragon nest averages two eggs per bonded Dragon and four egg per wild Dragon. Some recorded incidents have shown a six egg clutch from a bonded Dragon with a wild mate.



Allegiance
A Dragon's cunning behavior is also coupled with a high sense of pride. This leads them to being very loyal or at least adhear to a higher authority by either birthright or strength in battle.

If a Dragon, male or female, is the first to hatch in it's clutch, the nest-kin will acknowledge the firstborn's power over theirs. When the sire and mother of the hatchlings decide it is appropriate and depart from their offspring, leaving the Firstborn in charge of the clutch. If the Firstborn's power is questioned the accuser can invoke Krav-Nuhl-Vhen and fight for the right to be called Trueborn and attain power over the clutch.

Each clutch owes allegiance to the Highborn Dragon, The Dragonlord of the clutches of Dogrimyrr. A Dragon can only become Highborn if he or she is Firstborn or Trueborn, then they must challenge and defeat the current Highborn. If the Highborn dies outside of challenge, his mate can claim Highborn, but is subject to challenge. If their is no claim then Drak-Bayr-Vhen allows all challengers to fight.
