Long before the elves first arrived, several dragons came to reside across these lands. In the Great Forest of Verndane a Green Dragon (Dalbiarynth), in the tallest rise of the Central Mountains a Red Dragon (Goryviod), in the southern mountains that divide the Plains and the The Great Forest where the mountains grow colder a Silver Dragon (Xunioss), in the northern mountains that divide Y’hserin, Verndane, and Shalannan a Copper Dragon (Qurgeor), and in the tallest highest mountain of the large mountain island southeast of the peninsula a White Dragon (Chulludu).
The dragons have all produced various progenies, some of whom have flown from this region, leading to the infrequent sightings of traveling merchants.
The Green Dragon, Dalbiarynth, is responsible for the “sickness” that the original Y’hser elves felt when surveying the continent, the draw that brought Ennohj and the corruption of her offspring tainted Roque; her evil pervades the forest and is the primary antagonist that drove many insane before the fall of Crythia. She has clutched several broods, but most have killed their siblings. The few who remain do not enjoy each other’s company and as such are scattered across the forest or in the western and northern mountains that border Verndane.
The Red Dragon, Goryviod, resides high in the tallest peaks at the convergence of the mountain ranges in the center of the continent. He has asserted his will and evil over the creatures of the mountains, keeping the Duergar at bay in the lower realms and lending his force of will to incite Korthog to not only find him, but to find The Manor which Lord Roque had built deep in the forest.
The Silver Dragon, Xunioss, has taken residence in the southern mountains of Verndane to keep Dalbiarynth in check. From time to time Xunioss will take wing high over the forest, his color blending with the clouds and sky if Dalbiarynth were to look upwards, but causing occasional bright “flashes” that can be seen from the Plains.
The Copper Dragon, Qurgeor, prefers warm hills, but not hot mountains, so he has traded off his transmute rock to mud spell with the equivalent wall of ice that normally only white dragons possess and his offspring cast it often to keep the caverns cold. This is the reason that the uppermost peaks of these mountains are covered in ice year-round. He has taken this post to monitor Goryviod in the mountain peaks, and occasionally flies low between the mountains, his coloring blending into the broken rocks.
The White Dragon, Chulludu, is content to monitor the seaways and occasionally swoop and pick up an ocean creature, such as a whale, from the waters surrounding he island and bring it back to her lair for her brood to feed upon.
