Dragons

Dragons are a very rare sight in Hermetica. The closest most will ever witness of a dragon is Dragonborn. Dragonborn these days are descended from long lines of dragonborn, and after several generations of mixed breeding most Dragonborn have a sort of neutral lustre to their scales. Half-dragons have not existed in centuries.

The reason pure dragons are so rare is because only nine of them are even known to exist! All nine of these dragons are older than most nations themselves. In fact, most capitals of the current world of Hermetica were founded through the strength of will and charisma of each dragon. These days, the dragons lay low and remain outside of worldly affairs, but occasionally will reveal themselves for unknown reasons or by accident.

Each known dragon has a name. While they have frequent regions they inhabit, their lairs are well-hidden and the dragons themselves are hard to simply seek out:
