=== Prehistory ===
=== Prehistory ===
{{Prehistoric}}Since the dawn of time, Dragons have been said to have an ongoing feud with the elephantine creatures and people of the realm. Historically even when the realm was young, it was the elephants who were the original slayers of dragons. <blockquote>''"It was said in ancient conflicts, the dragon would impale the elephant and in this conflict they die:''
{{Prehistoric}}
 
''both the one and the other.''
 
''The elephant he falls down dead as conquered,''
 
''and with his heavy weight crusheth and squeezeth the dragon that is wound and wreathed about it"'' - [[Loxo]] Mythology</blockquote>Though based on mythology, scholars have noted that dragons tend to desire elephantine blood over other creatures, perhaps because it runs exceedingly cold for mammals, and thereby refreshes a parched dragon. Dragons have been seen in written historical accounts to lay at the bottom of lakes and surprise elephants by jumping up and sucking them dry of blood (but still sometimes finding themselves under the dead beast). Based on this info, many agree that Dragons likely squabbled with elephants for as long as both creatures coexisted.

=== The War of Many Names ===
The many dragons of [[Kiston]] returned to Quelmar after its unlocking, kicking off a new war against the dragons all across the realm, which would start as simply "The Draconic War", but evolve over time into many different wars of different fronts, hence its name: [[The War of Many Names]].
In some cities, such as [[Ahol]], dragons were called '''Leviathans''', and [[Tiamat]] herself would sometimes be called '''The Leviathan Queen'''.

Metallic Dragons (also called ''Good'' Dragons) often needed to snack on precious metals, which would replenish their body's own minerals and ensure clean scale growth. For some Dragons such as the [[Bronze Dragon|bronze]] general [[Tenorixion]], this would even include eating copper or silver pieces.

=== Gem Dragons ===
=== Gem Dragons ===
Gem Dragons (also called ''Neutral Dragons'' or ''Psionic Dragons'') are predominantly solitary beings, favoring secluded locales far from common paths and displaying a lukewarm reception to unanticipated guests. Like their other draconic kin, they revel in the comfort of sprawling atop their hoarded treasures. Named after various gemstones, they exhibit a particular affinity for sparkling jewels and precious metals. Although these dragons tend to be smaller and less swift than their counterparts, they compensate with their exceptional intellect and the striking force of their dynamic presences.
Characterized by their remarkable charm and sophistication, Neutral Dragons excel at engaging in enigmatic conversations. They revel in the art of verbal sparring, aiming to ensnare those they meet with their enchanting eloquence and captivating speech.

While they existed throughout all of history, it is believed that the Psionic Dragons went to great lengths to erase the memories of those who encountered them, keeping their presence in the realm a great secret up until 826 [[PR]], when their god and leader Sardior returned to the realm, and they once again felt it was safe to appear in public.
