Dragon

Though considered rare creatures in Aira, dragons were a more common sight in Maia. Prior to the Fall of Maia, there were many different species of dragon inhabiting The Twin Worlds.

Long lost are the Wight Mane and Black Ghost Dragons and the Pterra of Maia's Darklands and The Fey Lands' mythical Dihydron.

Still remaining in Aira are the Lindworms of Calionelen, the tiny Draerthinil Dragons of the Faewoods and the Mawsongs of the Agranican marshes and Kestran Isles, as well as the more common Onogra, Gar and Ciscerra. Handfuls of Ibascan dragons also survive (see below), though most are considered endangered since the land was torn apart with the closing of The Gateway Between the Worlds.

Dragons whose existence is a matter of debate include the rumoured red dragon of Dagan Adar and the Ice Dragons spoken of in legends of The Frozen North.

Serpents, though little is known about any specific species therein, are also considered dragons.

With the possible exception of the Wight Manes, Dragons are not capable of breathing fire.

It is generally considered inexcusable to slay a dragon, as most do not concern themselves with the affairs of the smaller races of the worlds. The exceptions to this are the Gar and Ciscerra, both of which are considered pets and commonly hunted for sport, and the mounts of Lethian Dragon Knights, though these may only be slain in battle.

The Ibasca remains the place where one is most likely to encounter larger dragons, and the only place where they are trained for riding. Ibascan Dragons include Rusttail, Whiptail, War Grey, Ingold, Copper, Northern Red and Bronze Dragons. Ibascan Dragons range from twenty to forty feet from nose to tail, though most of this length is made up of their long neck and tail. They are all quadruped, and are considered relatively peaceful.
