Dragons
A dragon is a legendary creature,
typically with serpentine or reptilian traits, that feature in the myths of many
cultures. There are two distinct cultural traditions of dragons: the European
dragon, derived from European folk traditions and ultimately related to Greek
and Middle Eastern mythologies, and the Chinese dragon, with counterparts in
Japan, Korea and other East Asian countries.
The two traditions may have evolved separately, but have influenced each to a
certain extent, particularly with the cross-cultural contact of recent
centuries. The English word "dragon" derives from Greek drákōn,
"dragon, serpent of huge size, water-snake", which probably comes from the verb drakeîn "to see clearly". In the New Testament, the Devil takes the
form of a Red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, in his battle against
Archangel Michael.
European dragons are more often winged,
while Chinese dragons resemble large snakes. In many Asian cultures dragons were, and in some
cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature,
religion and the universe. They are associated with wisdom often said to be
wiser than humans and longevity. They are commonly said to possess some form of
magic or other supernatural power, and are often associated with wells, rain,
and rivers. In some cultures, they are also said to be capable of human speech.
In some traditions dragons are said to have taught humans to talk.
In the Beyond Heroes universe there are many different species of dragons.
However despite their variety a number of traits are common to nearly all
types of dragons. All species appear to be generally reptilian or serpentine in
their natural form. Except for the youngest dragons, they tend to be quite
large usually at least as big as a horse, and often much larger. Most species
depicted have wings and are able to fly, and nearly all are quadrupedal. Almost
all species of dragon are highly intelligent (at least as intelligent as a human
being) and are able to speak. Essentially all species of dragon are said to be
magical in nature, and in most species this nature is expressed as an affinity
for some type of elemental power; some dragon species are naturally able to cast
magical spells, as well. Most dragons have the ability to breathe or expel one
or more types of energy associated with their elemental affinity, as well as
bearing some resistance to damage or injury from any other sources of such
energy.
Dragons are egg-layers, and most have sharp teeth, horns, and claws. A
dragon is protected by its scaly hide, the colour of which is determined by the
dragon's species, and which also offers a visual clue to the specific elemental
nature of each species of dragon. Each species of dragon has a particular
temperament associated with it, as well as a deeply rooted moral outlook derived
from that temperament; these factors underlie the personality and behaviour of
each individual dragon. Dragons grow stronger and
stronger as they grow older (they become bigger, more resistant to damages and
magic, have a more dangerous breath, and so on). Dragons also radiate a mystical
fear aura around them. After a millennium or two, a dragon reaches his maximum
development.
Dragons are able to eat almost everything, but each
race have a preferred diet (some prefer flesh, other prefer to eat precious
metals or gems, and so forth).
Dragons are inherently magical beings, and in no case should dragons be
considered reptiles, despite obvious similarities such as a scaled epidermis and
reproduction by laying eggs. In fact, Dragons are more akin to feline creatures
than reptiles, particularly in regards to their posture and movements, as well
as being inherently warm-blooded and an eye composition similar to felines,
although far more complex. A good example of this is the placement of the legs:
Reptiles have their legs placed on the sides of their body, while most mammals
have them placed underneath their body; dragons also tend to place their rear
foot where their front foot was previously, much like most stalking feline
predators.
The number of eggs laid each time depends on the race of the dragon, but is
usually low (between one and ten). Dragons can also cross-breed with virtually
any other creature, creating a half-dragon. The most commonly heard of are in
the humanoid races, particularly with human and elves.
As far as senses, which varies slightly depending on species due to each one,
they are superior in most ways to other creatures; like any predator, they have
exceptionally acute senses, which only increase with age. Like avian creatures,
they have excellent depth perception and comparingly good peripheral vision,
able to see twice as well as a human in daylight; they have great
night vision, and are able to see even when conditions have no light to offer,
although in such conditions they cannot discern between colours. Their hearing
is on par with human hearing, although their minds can filter what noise it
hears. Dragon taste
is also refined, although they do not respond well to sweet flavours, and most
dragons do not discuss the matter as to why. Of all its senses, a dragon's sense
of touch is the only one to decrease throughout age, thanks mostly to the
development of thick, hard scales.
All dragons share a common desire to collect treasure, be it precious,
beautiful, magical or just shiny - indeed, the treasure in question needn't
always be Gold, and may sometimes be aesthetic in nature, ranging from popular
artwork or sculptures or even rare books and tomes that might otherwise have an
overwhelming monetary value. For evil-aligned dragons, this generally directs a
greedy attitude to achieve such wealth by whatever means suit them. For good
dragons this lust for treasure is tempered, although they are certainly not
averse to earning such wealth, and still appreciate gifts (while being insulted
if offered an obvious bribe).
Being stronger, faster, generally smarter, and possessing longer life than
humans and most other races, dragons tend to consider themselves superior
creatures. For good-aligned dragons, this may only mean they often consider
humanoid races as children, trying to take care of them and educate them; for
evil-aligned dragons, they consider humanoids as mere animals, or as toys to
play with; at best, they are minions and slaves.
Good-aligned dragons, while concerned with defeating evil, are able to see a
much broader scope of the world, and although certain crises arise that may seem
extremely important to good-aligned humans, their dragon counterparts are able
to see the event as an unimportant hiccup that will pass in mere centuries; even
those that adventure with others tend show a sense of incredible patience, even
in situations where all others feel they've not a second to lose. Similarly,
evil-aligned dragons that are crossed by belligerent adventurers may plot for
dozens of generations before exacting revenge on the trespasser’s line - it is
not uncommon for those descended from the mentioned adventurer to find
themselves the target of a dragon based simply on their lineage.

Although weaker than many other varieties of dragonkind,
Brass dragons are
still powerful creatures by any measure. They have a strong mercenary streak
and often agree to serve as guardians or battle champions for anyone willing
to pay suitably well.
Type: Dragon
Setting: Any,
they prefer to dig their lair inside a desert peak or
spire. They also prefer to have their lairs face eastwards, so that the
rising sun will warm the lair for the bulk of the day. A Brass dragon's lair
is well-constructed and quite extensive, with many twisting corridors and
dead ends to confuse and discourage hostile intruders. The centrepiece of
any Brass dragon's lair is the Grand Conversation Hall, where it spends the
majority of its time entertaining friends and visitors. A typical lair will
also contain an elegant foyer, a gallery for the artwork the dragon has
collected, a sleeping chamber, and a storage room. All Brass dragon lairs
have several small entrances, known as bolt holes. These multiple entrances
allow a Brass dragon to easily escape an attack by a Blue dragon or other
predator.
Era: Any
Physical Traits: Physically, the
Brass dragon is highly distinctive. From below, its
outstretched wings form a triangular shape, as they are attached to its body
all the way to the tip of its tail. The wings are longest at the shoulder,
and taper gently as they reach the tail. Their scales seem to radiate heat
and light. The shape of the head is quite unusual, as it includes a large,
curved plate that extends from the dragon's eyes and cheeks on either side
and curves upwards into two points, much like a ploughshare. They have two
sharp horns on the chin, which become steadily pointier as the dragon ages.
They smell like hot, oiled metal.
Size:
39 metres with a 32 metre long tail
Weight: 510 lbs
Mobility: Legs,
mystical wings
Sensory Organs:
Visual
Communication: Vocal
Reproduction:
Sexual, egg.
Brass dragon eggs must be incubated in a nest of open flames. Incubation
takes approximately 480 days. The eggs are typically tended by both parents,
so that they can talk together as they maintain their vigil. A newly hatched
Brass wyrmling is not remarkable in appearance; its scales are a dull brown.
The scales become lighter and more brilliant as the dragon matures. Brass
wyrmlings probably learn to talk more quickly than the young of any other
sentient species. They talk constantly about anything and everything, and
they will talk to anybody: friends, family, enemies, small creatures that
cannot talk back, or even to itself if nobody else is near. When exposed to
a new language, a Brass wyrmling will usually become fluent in under an
hour. Though they have an extremely deadly breath weapon, they are more
fragile than other dragons. As a result, they make alliances with small
groups of intelligent creatures, such as tribes of nomadic dragonborn.
As it matures, a Brass dragon adds a love of fire to its love of speech.
They can stare into burning flames for hours, entranced by their beauty.
Older Brass dragons often become discouraged with the world, believing that
others are ruining it. Yet as they mature, they seem to accept the follies
of the world, and may even donate some of their treasures to aid a cause
they believe to be worthy. Ancient Brass dragons are some of the best and
most willing sources of advice in the entire Third Space Plane.

| Bronze
Duty-bound and honourable to a fault, Bronze dragons commit themselves to
order and are among the greatest and most devout champions of that ideal. As
order's sworn servants, Bronze dragons can seem arrogant and haughty, with
an inflated sense of self, a tendency that can put them at odds with those
they meet. In rare cases, this self-righteousness grows into something far
more sinister, and the Bronze dragon takes over what it sees as lesser
races, ruling as a cruel tyrant to its subjects.
While Bronze dragons are often fascinated with battles, especially fighting
to defeat evil, they have strong moral compunctions against killing living
beings unless absolutely necessary. They will often join good-aligned armies
to fight the forces of evil, either in human form or their own. Bronze
dragons are basically of beneficent nature. They often assume the form of
some animal in order to observe the affairs of humans.
Type: Dragon
Setting: Any.
Bronze dragons claim
coastlines, inlets, and islands as their own, constructing lairs in coastal
caves that have access to the sea. More aggressive Bronze dragons purposely
choose lairs near shipping lanes so they can claim tribute from merchant
vessels as those craft pass by. All Bronze dragons share a deep and abiding
hatred for Blue dragons, and they are vigilant in protecting their homes
from these interlopers.
Era: Any
Physical Traits: Physically, the
Bronze dragon is quite fierce in appearance, despite its good nature. While
most of its body is a reflective Copper colour, the wings
are often tipped with Green. The eyes of a Bronze dragon begin with a Green
iris and as they age the eye slowly becomes a solid Green with no distinct
iris. The dragon has three main large horns protruding from each cheek,
pointing back towards the tail. It also has a couple more smaller horns. The
tips of these points are Black and very sharp, and are often used for
grooming. The tongue is purple-grey, long and pointed, and not forked. A
large frill runs down the upper part of its neck. They smell like sea-spray.
Size:

Reproduction:
Sexual, egg.
Bronze dragons mate for life, and take their duties as parents with the
utmost seriousness. They will protect their eggs and their wyrmlings at any
cost. Although Bronze dragons always live near water, they lay their eggs in
a dry cave. Apart from a dry, relatively warm environment, Bronze dragon
eggs require no special conditions for incubation like those of most
dragons. Upon hatching, the wyrmlings are raised, taught, and protected by
their parents. A newly hatched Bronze wyrmling appears yellow with a tinge
of Green, and the scales will gradually shift to Bronze as it matures.
Bronze wyrmlings hold a strong sense of responsibility from the moment it
leaves the egg- one that causes it to seek out purpose as thoroughly as it
hunts for sustenance.
Given its exceptional abilities as a swimmer, the entrance to a Bronze
dragon's lair is quite naturally underwater, and often disguised with
seaweed and coral. The bulk of the lair is above water level, however,
consisting of multiple tunnels and large chambers, some as much as a
thousand feet above sea level. They prefer to make their lairs in an island
volcano, if possible.

| Copper
Copper dragons are the second weakest of the dragons. They are born
tricksters and jokesters. They are quite devious and clever, but their
intent is purely benign. They do not seek to harm 'lesser' creatures, but
merely wish to impress them with superior intelligence and wit, and to fool
them with clever pranks. Adult Copper dragons are quite social, mainly due to
the desire to play tricks upon each other. A visitor to a Copper dragon's
lair can expect to be entertained at length, although the dragon will become
angry if the visitor does not appear impressed with their tricks, riddles,
and stories.
Type: Dragon
Setting: Any.
A typical Copper dragon's lair is a cave, whose entrance is concealed by
rocks and boulders. Upon entering, visitors find themselves in a huge
labyrinth of tunnels. Copper dragons compete amongst themselves to see who
can design the most confusing layout. If a friendly visitor becomes
hopelessly lost (which is rather common), the Copper dragon will rescue her
before she is actually endangered. Once through the labyrinth, visitors find
themselves in a spacious foyer, beyond which is the Main Entertaining
Chamber, where the dragon will spend the bulk of its time. Opening off the MEC is a much more straightforward escape tunnel, whose outside entrance is
often fiendishly difficult to locate even when one knows exactly where it
is. The Copper dragon will know, however, and often uses its 'back door' to
get into its lair instead of taking the time to navigate the maze.
Obviously, it is far easier for a visitor to enter via the secret door if
she can find it, but doing so is considered impolite, especially if she is a
first-time visitor.
When it comes to combat, Copper dragons prefer to avoid it. Rather than
fighting openly, they prefer to taunt, humiliate, and tease their opponents
until they simply give up and run away. Copper dragons prefer to inhabit arid rocky regions, liking warmer climes
in which to locate their cavern or cave lairs.
Era: Any
Physical Traits: Physically, the
Copper dragon is very striking, with scales of a warm Copper colour tinged with
Blue. Like the Brass dragon, the Copper dragon's wings
connect to its body all the way to the tip of its tail. However, its wings
have a pronounced bend to them, giving them the appearance of a "V" from
below, rather than the Brass dragon's triangular appearance. Copper dragons
are powerful jumpers and climbers, with massive thigh and shoulder muscles.
Their two horns are broad and flat, pointing backwards towards the tail from
the top of their heads. They also have a distinctive frill protruding from
either jaw. When the mouth is closed, the teeth are completely hidden. They
exude a stony odour.

42 metres with a 31 metre long tail

Reproduction:
Sexual, egg.
Copper dragons lay their eggs in a nest of cool sand or clay. Both parents
watch over the eggs and raise the wyrmling until it reaches adulthood,
whereupon the parents separate. When newhatched, the scales of a Copper wyrmling are a muddy brown in colour,
which gradually shifts to a glowing Copper as it matures.

| Gold
Gold dragons are the most powerful of the good dragons and the most dedicated to defeating
evil. They spend the bulk of their lives in human form, seeking out evil and
punishing wrongdoers to the best of its considerable abilities. Its typical
mode of operation runs roughly along the lines of a sting operation: the
dragon will listen for stories of dangerous or evil creatures or persons,
then reveal its true form and mete out punishment. They prefer to turn
villains over to law enforcement if available, but will ultimately take
whatever actions they deem necessary in order to see justice served. They
are best summarized as the paladins of the draconic world.
Unlike many species of dragons, Gold dragons have a very firm and
hierarchical social structure, encompassing all members of the species. This
structure always has one Gold dragon as its leader who is given the title
"your resplendence", who serves until he/she either dies or steps down. At
that time, all Gold dragons congregate and choose the next leader of their
kind. Sometimes two dragons may be chosen; in such cases, the two will share
the duties of leadership. The position of leader, or 'top dragon,' does not
so much involve the maintenance of order - Gold dragons are famous for their
good behaviour - so much as the dispensing of advice and wisdom to any
dragons who ask for it. Gold dragons are voracious learners, and they tend
to become very wise and worldly as they age. They freely share their
knowledge and experience to anyone who asks, dragon or not. In fact, it is
not unknown for a Gold Great Wyrm to take the form of a scholarly professor
in order to spread its knowledge at some human centre of higher education.
Type: Dragon
Setting: Any.
Unlike most other species of dragons, Gold dragons devote immense time and
energy to the construction of their lairs. The layout of their lairs often
resemble those of elegant human mansions, albeit buried underground. Rooms
are well-constructed and elegantly decorated with the many art treasures the
Gold dragon has collected over its lifetime. Typical rooms in a Gold
dragon's lair include a main hall, a banquet hall, a resting chamber, a
study, a kitchen, a lobby, a storage room, and perhaps even a lavatory. Many
Gold dragons even have a glass-walled observatory, especially if they live
underwater. Gold dragons are able to dwell in any clime, but their lairs are always of
solid stone - whether a cave or a castle.
Era: Any
Physical Traits: Physically,
Gold dragons are quite spectacular. Several large horns tipped
with umber shoot sideways from their cheeks, and two very prominent horns
point backwards along their heads. The most obvious feature is probably the
tentacle whiskers that sprout from the top and bottom of the Gold dragon's
jaw, giving the appearance of a beard of sorts. Their wings, like those of
Brass and Copper dragons, connect to the body all the way to the tip of the
tail. From below, the overall shape resembles that of a Brass dragon, but
the different colouring and dramatic difference in size enables easy
differentiation. When in flight, the Gold dragon's wings ripple, giving the
appearance of swimming rather than flying. They smell of saffron and
incense.
Size:
48 metres with a 42 metre long tail
Weight: 590 lbs
Mobility: Legs,

Reproduction:

Gold dragon eggs must be incubated in a nest of open
flames. A newly hatched Gold wyrmling appears similar to an adult, except that it lacks horns or
tentacle whiskers. Both parents tend the eggs, and then take intense
interest in their wyrmlings' care and education. At some point, however, the
biological parents may send the wyrmling to live with foster parents; this
allows the parents to undertake their own quests, as well as exposing the
wyrmling to new experiences.

| Silver
Silver dragons are the second most powerful of the
good dragons, and are
true friends to all. The Silver dragon enjoys the company of humans and
Elves so much that it will often take the form of a human or Elf and live
among them for the majority of its life. It should be noted that Silvers,
like all dragons, believe themselves the most superior creatures in the
world. However, apart from the ability to fly, which they enjoy greatly,
they tend to prefer the physical forms of humanoids for everyday life.
Unlike the Gold or Bronze dragon, the Silver dragon does not usually go out
of its way to bring justice on the world. Instead, it waits for others to
ask them for help. They will attempt to right an injustice if they see one,
but they have no inclination to intentionally seek evil out and destroy it.
Silver dragons are more interested in protecting the humans or elves it has
come to care for than in looking for evil.
The Silver dragon is regal and statuesque, an unusual trait they offer is
the love of human dining, and will use the ability of alternate form to take
part in large feasts. Silver dragons are extremely rare and elusive, preferring to take the guise
of kind and elderly humanoids or very attractive and young humanoids. They
very much like to associate with elves and humans, not necessarily because
they prefer their company over other races, but because they try to learn
from the shorter lived humans. Silver dragons' favoured enemy are Red
dragons because these chromatic dragons are almost always evil and have a
talent for destruction.
Most Silvers group together in "clans," a loose organization of dragons who
choose to live together as a family. Clans take communal responsibility for
protecting and raising their wyrmlings. A senior member of the clan may act
as a leader, but no true leader actually exists. Silver dragons do not feel
the need for a strict social structure, since they are most content to live
as honestly as possible. However, many Silver dragons leave their clans for
long periods of time to live among nondragons. They tend to live for many
years with the same group of humans or elves, having grown attached to them.
As members of the family die, the Silver dragon, grieved by the loss, often
chooses to stay with the family, remaining a true and loyal friend and
champion through many generations. If the dragon feels comfortable enough
around these nondragons, it might even decide to reveal its true self.
Type: Dragon
Setting: Any.
Silvers and Reds favour the same sort of mountainous terrain
for lairs, which leads to territorial disputes on top of having attitudes
and philosophies at odds with the others'.
A Silver dragon's lair is typically found within an icy mountain, with the
main entrance only accessible by air. The lair itself is similar to the Gold
dragon's in its sophistication and design, although the Silver dragon's lair
tends to be far less intricate. A typical lair will contain a main
entertaining area, a storage room, a vault, a sleeping chamber, study,
library, shrine, and two clinic rooms where the dragon can offer help and
protection to those who need it. The lair will also have a concealed back
entrance for use in emergencies. Silver dragons select mountain peaks, clouds, and similar locales in which
to establish their abode.
Era: Any
Physical Traits: At first glance, the
Silver dragon appears very similar to the Red dragon.
The wings are more curved than a Red's though, and the Silver has two talons
on its wings rather than the single talon of most dragons. The Silver dragon
also has a beautiful frill that begins at the top of its head and flows all
the way down its neck and body to the tip of the tail. The frill is Silver
towards the body, fading to a purple hue at the edge. They have two long,
smooth Silver horns with Black tips, pointing up and back from the head.
They also have a pronounced sharp frill under the chin, which has the rough
appearance of a goatee. They smell like rain. A Silver wyrmling’s scales are
Blue-grey with Silver highlights. As the
dragon approaches adulthood, its colour gradually brightens until the
individual scales are scarcely visible. The pupils of the oldest Silver
dragons resemble orbs of molten mercury.
