Dragons

Written by Salen

Fierce and powerful, dragons have been in stories since the migration of the elves, dwarves, and humans. They were originally friends of the faeries, with whom they were allied, but after the faeries started helping the elves, they drifted apart. Dragons of Eather'an are different from those is children's stories. They do breathe fire, but not any other element (Those were made up to make children giggle and fill them with wonder, as fire is scary to a child at times.) There is also only one type of dragon, coloring of their scales depending on age.
