Dragon

Dragons are a broad group of large reptiles of the clade Draconiformes. They are one of only two surviving lineages of dinosaurs alive today, the other being the birds. Dragons have several important roles as cultural icons across Rathnir and Eldham,

As animals, dragons can be split into two families; the Eudraconidae, the winged dragons, and the Apterodraconidae, which consist of various wingless dragons like the lindworms, Aurlûnoren Lûn, and sea serpents. As far as the hybrid human-dragons go, they are generally assumed to have Eudraconid genetic material combined with their human DNA, merged together via a skilled magic process that has been lost to the centuries.

Dragons are featured on the flags of many countries, such as that of Druk Yul, Daelyria and the Aurlûnor Velande. In Aurlûnor, the Twin Dragon faith regards a pair of celestial dragons as the creators of the world. An unrelated but similarly-named religion known as the Followers of the Twin Headed Dragons exist as well. The Faith of Draconism also focuses on Dragons, however, their "Dragon-Gods" are not thought as Dragons, but the Dragons as holy beings
