[QUOTE="Cabral, post: 3226539, member: 1193"] Lord Toruk may or may not be the first Dragon, but he is the most powerful being one of the few active divine beings on Caen (IK's prime material plane). The others are the Harbinger (a mortal avatar of Menoth), the weakening Scryah (one of two remaining elven gods), and Nyssor (the second surviving elven god - who has survived by placing himself in an icy stasis). The Avatar of Menoth may also be mechanikal avatar of Menoth, but I suspect it to be more akin to a divine golem. The weakest dragons of the Iron Kingdoms are more akin to Bahamut and Tiamat compared to D&D dragons but with a twisted, corrupting nature (Radiation is a good analogy) and there are no "good" dragons, only evil. Lord Toruk is the only dragon known to grant spells to followers, though he does it via perverse ritual sacrifice rather than via true divine channels. His followers sacrifice souls to him and he uses the souls' power to grant spells. The necromantic energies of this process tend to warp and mutate his clerics (permanent Con drain as they advance). The dragon Everblight has Warlocks (such as the Prophet of Everblight), but these are not the same as clerics. Warlocks of Everblight gain their power by having a shard Everblight's Athanc embedded in their body. By the way, the Iron Kingdoms setting completely rocks! :D [/QUOTE]
