[QUOTE="garrowolf, post: 5256103, member: 31900"] What I am thinking so far is that you have Jotens/Titans that represent primal elemental change, the level of change of the Seasons favored by the Seelie, and then the level of change/order of civilization. Outside of that you have the Chaos Gods. Each one of the different levels of order would be against the Chaos Gods but then they would also be somewhat against each other. The conflict and resolution of the opposition of the primal elements versus civilization are reflected in the Titans versus the Gods in Greek. In the Norse you have all three represented in Jotens/Vanir/Aesir. (I really need better terms then Chaos/Order. ) Anyway I see the Dragons as coming from the Primal group but functioning in both of the other groups in a way. I see the independence of their nature even coming out of this. So would the Dragons be a creation of something else? I've got minor Dragons that can be trained as mounts and Major Dragons that are intelligent and elementally aligned (as opposed to metallic). I was thinking about the old stories about Dragons being creations of Wizards. Maybe instead of being ancient (or some could be ancient) they started from being natural minor dragons and some ancient and powerful wizards used Transmutation on them to create allies against the Chaos Gods. Actually I just got a better idea! What if the Major Dragons are actually ancient Wizards! What if they use transmutation in order to create a better body for themselves. Then they transfer their minds and powers into that new body. Basically a positive version of a Lich! That would make each Dragon unique and very skilled to start with. They could have created the various Dragonkin as a part of their Transmutation experiments. Basically they learned it from the Seelie but went in a different direction with it! [/QUOTE]
