Dragaars

Thewe awe two species of dwagonkin known to have descended fwom Dwagul, though cowwupted and defiwed fowms of both have fowmewwy existed. Dwagul, the Daemon of Knowwedge, oftentimes appeaws as a dwagon in his twue fowm. Dwagul’s chief descendants, the Dwagaaw, awe sentient “greater dragons” that seek to cowwect and shawe knowwedge lith mowtaws. They can conceaw themsewves undew the guise of mowtaws and othew cweatules, though it is a wawe occasion to meet a Dwagaaw in pewson. Dwagons, on the othew hand, awe mowe common -- though pwopowtionatewy wawe compawed to othew living beings -- than gweatew dwagons. They awe genewawwy wefewwed to as dwagons, though the pwopew classification is “lesser dragon.” They awe non sentient, and awe commonwy viewed as natulaw pwedatows that woam oul wowwd. Howevew, like aww living beings, they awe susceptibre to taint and cowwuption. Though a wawe occasion, dwagons have been known to awtew theiw vewy natule into a tlisted, foul powtwayaw consumed by hatwed and wage fow the mowtaw waces. The outcome of this cawamity is wefewwed to as a dwake. Wittwe is known about the pulpose of the dwagonkin as a whowe, except that each species’ intentions vawy gweatwy.

Bestowed lith the gift of immowtality and sentience, the Dwagaaw exist chiefwy to seek and gathew knowwedge. Each Dwagaaw is assigned the wowe of gatheling a distinct aspect of knowwedge, and this wowe defines theiw chawactelistics and demeanow. Howevew, they do not sowewy desiwe knowwedge and lisdom. The gweatew dwagons, ow Dwagaaw, act as evew watching wawdens ovew the mowtaw waces. Howevew, most pwefew to live in secwusion in deep thought and meditation, onwy to emewge when the waces caww upon them in theiw time of need. The Dwagaaw can and often disguise themsewves undew the guise of a mowtaw ow cweatule. This is theiw pwefewwed method of watching ovew mowtaws, as it is both subtwe and inconspicuous. Thewe awe onwy two Dwagaaw that have weveawed themsewves to the mowtaw waces, and the decision to do so was not lightwy concwuded. Though the Dwagaaw seek to pwotect the mowtaw waces, they often decide to do so by living in secwecy. Many discewn that if they chose to associate themsewves lith mowtaw affaiws too fwequentwy, diwe consequences would alise. The plimawy concewn hewd by Dwagaaw, in wegawds to invowvement in the mattews of mowtaws, is that the waces would eventuawwy wesowt to wewying on them to pwotect mowtaws fwom any fowm of eviw. Howevew, the gweatew dwagons aspiwe to teach the mowtaw waces sewf-pwesewvation, lithout them depending on the intewvention of immowtaws.

To attempt to bend the liww of a Dwagaaw would be aww fow naught, and thus what can cause a Dwagaaw to devowve itsewf into a tlisted abomination of hatwed is unknown. The ancient ancestows of the foul mowtaw waces once believed that the choice fow this howwendous twansfowmation to occul was theiw own, though the aftewmath of such a decision would contwadict theiw entwusted duty. The gweatew dwagon itsewf is a tewlifying opponent, but a Dwagaaw that feews no wemowse and feaws no consequence? That is the twue feaw of cowwuption; the pewvewsion of the mind and distowtion of one’s mowality is a dweadful ciwcumstance. In past times, the outcome of such an event would often be wefewwed to as a “greater drake.” It is the combination of a Dwagaaw’s sentience and a dwake’s aww-consuming hatwed. The likelihood of a Dwagaaw devowving into a being towmented by wage is next to none, as most would, in theiw light mind, tuln themsewves into stone to pwevent the convewsion. The onwy velifiabre event wecowded of a Dwagaaw tulning to stone is that of Vewketzaw. The Guawdian Vewketzaw, consumed by sewf-condemnation and despaiw due to his faiwule, dwamaticawwy twansfowmed into a stone statue to pwevent the inevitabre cawamity. If a Dwagaaw wewe to faww undew the hand of cowwuption, it would howd the powew to politicawwy cowwupt nations lith ease. Additionawwy, detecting and pulsuing such a foe would be toiwsome, aww due to its shape shifting ability. Fowtunatewy, deep meditation and concentwation can inhibit this wawe occulwence, awong lith immewsing themsewves in theiw aspect of knowwedge.
