Dragons (Species)

Dragons take to the sky majestically. However some do live on the ground and others in the waters. These Dragons come in three types with subspecies of each.

Dragon (Elder)
Elder Dragons disapeared during the Age of Zorbans. They where hunted down and thought destroyed by the Zorbans themselves. This however proved to be false as they returned in the Third Age of Man with the return of the Dragonking.

History
When the Nysthanians first landed in the Windith lands in the Age of Elves, they wrote about Elder Dragons in their inner records but did not share them.

"They soar in the sky with fearsome shreaks. Roars that shatter the morale of our troops. We must learn how to defend them if they choose to come down and attack us. The local tribes of [Windith] do not know of these creatures. Could they be older then our world? Perhaps they are children of Elvya? This needs to be studied further"

-Zen Bioni, Leader of the Nysthanian Expedition [Book of Zen pg. 148]

For about two hundred years there where more and more recordings of Elder Dragon sightings. There even came a record of one Elder Dragon attacking an Orkhai villiage and the people forced to fight it without much luck. But as the research bore more and more fruit, they disapeared. It was said this was a doing by the Zorban but it may have been that they just took credit. Sub-races of Dragon have always remained but none where as fearsome as the Elder Dragons.

In the dawn of the Third Age of Man, they returned from an unknown source. Though there where not many, there are growing concerns of empires and tribes about the constant threat of an attack. It is widely believed, but unfounded, that the Elder Dragons returned with the Dragonking. This unfounded remark also makes many common people worried about looming attacks. Elder Dragons are Apex Preditors of the sky without fear of much. There are no official records of any being slain but there are rumors that some have been able to do so. It is also believed that Jai'Zon the Immortal fought one in the Third Age of Man and successfully defeated it. He did not kill it, but managed to scare it off. This is only rumors thuogh passing through town.
