The Sea Dragons are constructs of the
The Hearth, built to protect it from any maligned outside force that would misuse its sun-like flame. For the denizens of
The Valley of Leshiven, and particularly
Cape Zaffre - The Sea Dragons are crucial to their society and way of life - as time-honored guardians of the ocean.
Creation of the Leviathan
When the first Sea Dragon was made out of Living Metal, it warped and wrapped around the central flame as the oceans boiled and seethed. As the world cooled and the hearth dimmed, the seadragon became cloaked in the newly teeming life, forming a symbiosis of metal and flesh. Since then, the sea dragons have been a harmonious union, symbolizing their connection both to their place of creation and the world they were born to watch over.

Sea Dragons, as divine creations of the world, are able to easily understand the hearts and desires of those around them. While deeply empathetic, they are fierce defenders of life. No lie may pass from ones lips that does not instantly reveal itself to a sea dragon as cruel deception.

That version of Sea Dragons sounds amazing. I love that they found a direction of hope within land-folk :)
