Among Eons dragons have always been in a slightly awkward position. Of all the Powers they were the only ones not made by the Creator. Instead once he was finished with Eonika he called them in from beyond the White Void and given them the honor and burden of leading the war against the Hollow.
When the dragons came to Eonika they brought something with them from their home world - the Source. Now only legends remain about that mystical item, but all the myths agree on one thing - it was an object of immense power.
Although originally there were nine dragon lines only five are know to this day, called the Faithful Ones. The other four are only known by their common name, the Traitors, for they betrayed the Creator’s trust by stealing the Source and running off with it beyond the White Void. Some legends claim they aligned themselves with the Hollow, while others have them simply abandon the Creator’s cause and disappear.
The loss of this artifact is important, as this was the event that eventually lead to the dragon’s demise. With their energy source gone, the remaining dragons had to start feeding on the world. And this was not just a matter of sacrificing a few sheep to an overgrown lizard. They were true Eons, and their hunger often matched their power.
The five known dragon lines are:
Cross Dragons
All lines had some form of polymorphy, but what made the Cross Dragons unique, was their ability to become tools in the right hands. The cross in their name comes from the most common form they took in the olden days - a mighty sword, called the Cross, that would be a Sky Dragon’s favourite companion. This lead to them often being also called Sword Dragons or Shifter Dragons, as it was a variety of tools they formed, not just weapons. On their own they didn’t have a specific diet or appetite, instead in a symbiotic relationship they would magnify both the power and the hunger of their wielder.
Elemental Dragons
Their gift from the Creator in return for their service was the power to rule over energies in the world. They were the guardians of the elements and creators themselves. This attunement unfortunately turned against them once the Source was stolen. They drank lakes and seas, ate mountains and vast amounts of land. In the end the ones that were not killed horrified by the destruction their hunger caused have fallen into deep slumber often merging with their favourite elements becoming cloud formations, mountain chains, hills or dissolving into the oceans.
Luck Dragons
Some say these dragons were cursed, others claim they have been blessed by the Creator. Their gift was perfect harmony with everything - the good, the bad, the world, and the Hollow. Enlightened they rejected all the worldly struggles and knowledge and pursued vaguely defined bliss. Over the years to many they became little more than mindless animals. Tiny compared to the other Eons, they shed their scales and grew fur instead, eventually giving birth to the royal Tradyrian cats. Some argue that through this the Luck Dragon line lives till this day, with their hunger satisfied by a simple bowl of milk.
Sky Dragons
This was a line of warriors and tacticians. War was their daily bread. They were powerful, impulsive, honourable, proud, but arrogant at times, and most of all determined to achieve whatever they set their mind to. They thrive on striving for the unachievable and breaking the limits, so much in fact that they gave rise to the famous saying - stubborn like a dragon. With the Source gone they started feeding on these emotions, leaving whole nations depressed, in torpor and stagnation. The few that remain battle the Hollow at the edge of the world devoted to protecting Eonika from being consumed by nothingness.
Star Dragons
The healers of the body and soul, the ones able to recreate destroyed world, and the bearers of Essence. Legends say they could restore the dead to life, and inspire to action even those whose will has been broken. They were a sign of hope and a way to keep the Hollow at bay. Many believe that when the last one was slain the fate of the world was sealed and it’s just a matter of time till the Hollow consumes everything. On the other hand Tradyrians believe (which is surprisingly optimistic for this nation) that some have survived the great dragon wars and will come back to fulfill their countries oldest prophecies. The Star Dragons crave knowledge.
