Dragons (The Primordial Race)

Biography & Overview

Dragons are the most feared, colossal, and transcendent beings in the cosmology of Xelthar. Clothed in impenetrable scales and wielding staggering, primordial magical power, dragons are regarded across all historical records as fundamentally invincible.

The Primordial Magic Dominion & Inviolable Scales​

  • Ancient Command of Magic: Unlike mortal races who must carefully modulate mana waveforms and frequencies through theoretical tools like Castflow, dragons possess an innate, primordial dominion over arcane forces. Their magical breath and ambient mana output are cataclysmic in scale.
  • Impenetrable Scales: The scales of a dragon cannot be pierced, chipped, or melted by mortal weapons or conventional spells, rendering them impervious to frontline human armies.

The Five Elemental Breeds​

According to ancient pre-Golden Era inscriptions discovered within weathered monoliths and subterranean ruins, dragonkind was historically divided into five elemental breeds:

  1. Earth Dragons: Living fortresses possessing diamond-hard earthen scales and immovable tectonic density.
  2. Fire Dragons: Calamitous drakes that command self-sustaining volcanic infernos capable of scorching entire provinces to ash.
  3. Ice Dragons: Sovereigns of the absolute-zero frost whose presence permanently entombs landscapes in glacial silence.
  4. Wind Dragons: Apex aerial predators wielding hurricane-force razor winds and untraceable supersonic flight.
  5. Water Dragons: Rulers of the primordial seas, manipulating oceanic currents and crushing tidal pressures.

The Long Disappearance​

For an untold number of centuries, dragons have been completely absent from the continent:

  • Missing in the Golden Era: Even 500 years ago, when King Laius conquered the continent and subdued the other ancient races, dragons were nowhere to be found.
  • The Unsolved Mystery: Why dragons disappeared before the dawn of the Golden Era remains an unresolved historical enigma. For millennia, ordinary humans considered them extinct mythical creatures recorded solely in eroded inscriptions.

Notable Figures​

  • Xyronath (The Dragon God): King of Dragons and universally accepted as the single most powerful ancient entity in the history of Xelthar. Slain King Laius five centuries ago; his elemental nature remains completely unknown.
