Dragons are divided into groups based on their metallic hue. Dragons in these groups are able to access mana to manipulate a specific element.

While each dragon can manipulate an element using mana, this mana will slowly tarnish a Dragon's scales into a chromatic colour based on their metallic hue.

Dragons grow over time and become more powerful. However, when a dragon becomes too large, they may be unable to fly due to this increased size and weight.

Below are simplified stats for dragons of each size.

The largest and most common type of dragon. These dragons often set off at a young age, seeking to find glory and riches. These dragons are often encountered under the employ of powerful individuals or mercenary companies. Eventually, they seek to form mercenary companies of their own, or attain a powerful fortress to amass their treasure and plan further exploits.

While other Dragons often try to remain Metallic, many Iron dragons see this as pointless, sometimes even seeing their lingering metallic form as weakness, and a fully Iron dragon may be seen as a coward.

Iron Drakes tend to be stronger than other dragons, with the hardest scales. However, they are not known for social skills or cognitive ability.

Typically living in mines or seaside caves, Cobalt dragons will often have Kobold underlings working for them.

Cobalt Drakes tend to be perceptive but fragile, using their mastery of earth to create underground fortresses from which to rule their minions.

While most dragons tend to act solo and avoid other dragons, Silver Dragons often form clans based around a powerful Matriarch. In these clans, the younger Drake may often act on behalf of the older Wyrms, while Wyverns might care for the Hatchling. These clans can grow to become quite powerful, even creating alliances or tenuous pacts with other groups.

While encountering a lone Silver Dragon is more rare than for other types, individuals may set off from a clan to interact with others, such as trying to form an alliance or broker a deal of some sort. Certain individuals may even be exiled from a clan and live alone, though these outcasts usually try to find a new group to join if they can.

Silver Dragons are focused but near-blind. They are well-suited for aquatic environments and make their lairs near rivers or swamps, lying in wait for their prey.
