Golden Five Organization in Toriel | World Anvil

Golden Five

The Golden Five was a council of powerful metallic dragons that held great influence over the affairs of Toriel. Comprised of gold, silver, bronze, copper, and brass dragons, the council was known for its wisdom and knowledge. These dragons were reclusive, only meting for important matters. They were respected for their intelligence and strategic thinking, and often acted as mediators in conflicts between the different races of Toriel. The council's ultimate goal was to maintain balance and order in the world, and they were revered as powerful and just leaders.  

Goals

The goals of the Golden Five, an organization of powerful metallic dragons, were primarily focused on discussing and addressing the matters and concerns of the mortals living on Toriel. The council was made up of five members, one representing each of the five main types of metallic dragons: gold, silver, bronze, copper, and brass. Each member brought their own unique perspective and knowledge to the table, allowing for a wide range of ideas and solutions to be considered.   One of the main objectives of the Golden Five was to maintain balance and stability among the mortal races, ensuring that their actions did not lead to widespread destruction or chaos. They also acted as mediators and arbitrators in disputes between different mortal races, working to find peaceful solutions whenever possible.   Additionally, the Golden Five also sought to protect and preserve the natural resources and beauty of Toriel, working to prevent over-exploitation of the land and its resources. They were also deeply interested in preserving ancient knowledge and artifacts, and often sent members to explore ruins and forgotten places in search of lost treasures.   Overall, the Golden Five was a powerful and respected organization among the metallic dragons, and their actions and decisions had a significant impact on the lives of the mortals living on Toriel.  

Admittance

The Golden Five is a council of five powerful metallic dragons, dedicated to discussing and making decisions on matters concerning mortals. The dragons who make up the council are chosen from among the most respected and wise members of their respective Dragon flights.   Selection process is often done through a combination of voting among other metallic dragons and a demonstration of their knowledge and understanding of the mortal races and the world at large. The final decision is made by the current members of the Golden Five, who take into account the candidate's reputation, experience and the overall balance of the council. The chosen dragons usually serve for a lifetime, or until they can no longer fulfill their duties.  

History

War of the Ancients

The Golden five was founded following the start of the war of the ancients. Gathering representatives from all five metalic dragon race, the council was made up of the five most powerful and respected dragons of each metallic dragon subrace: gold, silver, bronze, copper, and brass. These dragons were chosen by their peers for their wisdom, knowledge, and leadership skills.  

Nexus Overflow

Before the Nexus Overflow, the Golden Five served as mediators and peacemakers among the mortal realms, settling disputes and maintaining balance. They also acted as ambassadors between the dragons and other races, such as elves and dwarves, helping to maintain peaceful relations.   During the Nexus Overflow, the Golden Five's power was greatly diminished as Magic flowed into Toriel, shifting the balance of power among the races. Many mortals no longer saw the need for the council to mediate their affairs, believing that they were powerful enough to deal with their disputes on their own.   In the years after the Nexus Overflow, the Golden Five's influence and power waned. They continued to exist, but their role became more advisory than governing. Many dragons still looked to them for guidance and wisdom, but their decisions were not always followed.   The Golden Five's power and influence were further diminished during the Great Extinction, as the majority of living beings on Toriel were wiped out. The council struggled to maintain its relevance in the face of such devastation, and eventually faded into obscurity.  

The Lich war

In 1574 BD, the powerful archmage Vecna achieved lichdom, setting his sights on more than just eternal life. His ambitions included gathering followers and undead forces, leading him to the elven Kingdom of Lórien. He conquered the Lorien swiftly, and used its ressources to escape to the shadowfell, where he plotted for more. However, Lireesa Windrunner, daugther of the queen of Lórien was a Sister of Selune, and thanks to vision given by Selune herself, would require three things: a magical blade infused with the soul of Vecna's lieutenant, the assistance of dragons, and a means to cross between planes alongside the warriors of the night. she requested the Golden Five help. With Lireesa Windrunner holy army marching towards Lorien, they faced countless undead forces that overpowered them. The dragons allied with Lireesa's forces turned the tide of battle, enabling them to reach the capital and the portal to Thar Amphala as they dealt with the undead force in the prime material realm.   Lireesa returned shortly after with her mother, and few of her mens but Vecna defeated, and with the dragons' help, reclamied her kingdom.  

Great Extinction

The golden five tried to warn the last emperor, Kalah Heigaari, that his search for power beyond death was foolish, and that playing with the creation of a philosopher stone could cause the end of his empire, yet he never listened to them.
