[QUOTE="The-Magic-Sword, post: 8311056, member: 6801252"] Immortal Spirit Souls summoned by Gods with the Wyrmkin domain and members of their divine household (mortals they can empower), the ritual to do so involves the use of an egg specially carved out of special gemstones. They are among the ultimate weapons of the Gods, summoned for a variety of purposes-- to ravage nations or to guard vital artifacts, or even to act as teachers. Their immortal spirits have been summoned many times throughout history so they feature in the history and legends of many lands, with specific dragons cropping up more in certain cultures. When the ritual is completed it creates a baby dragon that already knows its mission, and must devour magic to grow in size-- by default this will be a long process of absorbing the ambient magic in the air, but offerings of objects imbued with magic can sharply accelerate this process depending on the quantity and strength of the items. Dragons can be unsummoned by the being that called them, they can be banished by being slain, or the ritual can (probably this is unclear) be done in such a way that they naturally dissipate when conditions are met (like their service no longer being required.) Dragons generally hoard magic items because they represent their fuel source, allowing them to grow closer to their full potential and offers them greater power to complete their missions, many also enjoy the feeling of incredible power so will seek it out even if they don't strictly need to. Draconic arrogance is heavily linked to being weapons of the gods, and their immortal memories, as well as their historic reputations and legends, they love to collect names and titles as much as treasure, adding to their prestige. Some can end up serving mortal masters, such as the Imperial Dragons of Shoga who served the Imperial Family of Vahako, if a covenant is made with the divine keepers of the Dragon Souls. [/QUOTE]
