Creature Post - Dragons.

Katy here! Haven't been for a long time. Hoping to fix that if possible. I'm here to write about dragons! Well, my sort of dragons, at any rate.

My dragons are your run-of-the-mill four-legged, two-winged, one-tailed dragons

generally classified as western dragons. Eastern being the wingless dragons you'd

see in Chinese Mythology. 

You could say I haven't done much dragon exploring in my writing. But while I haven't written about many dragons, I have created them rather thoroughly(if I do say so myself).

  Starting with general story placement - as my types of dragons may vary through stories - we'll begin with the ones in Avaniah(The world in my book).

  The most notable dragons in Avaniah have long and confusing names. And not just because I like making long and confusing names. The names of these dragons are the best that mortals could do trying to pronounce their names in dragon-speech. Then after the mortals end up with a name like Jhuklianrhylla, they'll shorten it down to Rhylla.
  Avanian dragons have two races; fire and ice. Fire dragons can have red, grey, green or gold scales. Ice can have blue, grey, white, or silver scales. Ice and fire dragons, despite what it may seem, don't despise one another. Mating pairs actually tend to be one of each. I guess opposites attract, huh?
  These dragons can speak as well, they generally have two languages, dragon-speech and whichever language is most common in their area. No mortal has been able to pronounce dragon-speech unless it was a nelrae (A man with dragon wings)

Some dragons are
  Jhuklianrhylla (Rhylla) Rhylla is a fire dragon and was Vardrung's mate. She has green scales and golden eyes. She is currently the king of the dragons,
  Vharkumdrungarull (Vardrung) Vardrung was an ice dragon, the king of the dragons, and Rhylla's mate. He had white scales and white eyes.  He was slain by two elves named Asha and Uriev, and a nelrae named Esco, respectively. He was previously the most powerful dragon in all of Avaniah, and was defeated after he went insane when the other dragons disappeared.
  Rwll (Pronounced rule) Rwll was a fire dragon with red scales. He is renown for being a small but stocky dragon that took a rank in Vardrung's army after defeating a general. Rwll is honored greatly among the goblin-folk, being small as they are, but being strong.
  Svarvenekal (Svar) Svar was an ice dragon whose significance lay in his battle against the dwarves in which he slew their warrior-king and wore his crown as a ring. He himself was eventually slain by the king's heir ten years later. He had grey scales, which contributed to his attack against the dwarves, having them being unable to identify whether he was a fire or ice dragon.
  Defysshnee (Ishni) Isni was an ice dragon known for being defeated by the dragon-runt Rwll, after previously being a high-ranking general in King Vardrung's army.
  Axcaasda (Casda) Casda is an ice dragon with white scales and blue eyes. He is known for being Rhylla's second mate after Vardrung died, and for being incredibly menuverable and quick.

Notice that only two of these dragons aren't dead. Dragons were well sought-after for their magic by the nelrae, because if they were killed, you'd get their magic. Be it an upgrade to their own, or gifting them with the ability of magic in the first place.
  Rhylla is the king of the dragons because the previous king -her mate- was killed. It may seem that Casda, her new mate should be king, but he'd only be king if he outlived her.

Anyhoo, I hope this isn't too confusing for y'all. I'll just pretend like you know what I'm talking about and hopefully post some more a little later. Ta-ta for now!
