The Great Wheel

Members of Clan Ojutai believe in cycle of reincarnation known as the Great Wheel. A belief that suggests that they are continually reborn after death with each turn of the wheel, and that those who follow the ways of the Great Teacher can be reborn in a greater form. The highest possible form of existence one can be reborn into is a dragon.   This belief suggests that the souls of dragons were once the souls of humanoids, but former lives in general—and those of dragons in particular—aren't considered a topic for polite conversation. It's borderline blasphemous to speculate that a particular dragon might be the reincarnation of a particular humanoid. Nonetheless, after the death of a widely respected monk, many Ojutai followers quietly look for signs of his or her reincarnation in subsequent draconic storms.   The dragonlord Ojutai is considered to exist outside the Great Wheel. Dogma states that the dragonlord was born in the first storm, already perfect and eternal, ready to impart his wisdom to lesser beings.
