Dragons

Intelligent and magical reptiles, dragons used to dominate Auire. In an event called the Dragon War, irresponsible use of magic to control the dragons inadvertently made them insane and they began attacking each other. Rumors persist of dragons who survived this war, or who somehow avoided it, hiding in the world somewhere, hoarding treasures or being worshipped by orcs. They have aerodynamic bodies and powerful wings, but they do use magic to produce some lift, and to breathe fire. All dragons can glide with no use of magic.

Fire Dragons- The prototypical dragon, coming in bright warm colors, medium sized and expert fire breathers.

Earth Dragons- Heavy and dark dragons, capable of flight from high launch points, able to spew lava.

Air Dragons- Aka forest dragons, tiny and light, and capable of spitting fire balls.

Water Dragons- Snake-like and flightless, they are bound to the water, but still breath intense fire.

Proto-dragons- spiritual water beings, pre-intelligent and flightless, but described as the dogs of dragons, especially water dragons, they resemble large crocodiles with beards or horns like water dragons.

Dragonkin- a humanoid form dragons can transform into using magic, lizard men.

Dragonborn- there are folk legends about giving children to dragons for safe keeping, coming back years later having not aged a day, other legends tell of dragons stealing children from evil parents and delivering them, like a stork, to a loving home, although some twists on the tale have the dragons deliver the children to evil foster parents. It is also said that these children come back with special abilities.
