''This article is about the creature. For the Dragon '''named''' Dragon, see [[Darastrix]].''  

A '''Dragon''' is a creature whose shape mimics various draconic factions, gods, and powers—a form that seems to originate from Quelmar's [[Prehistory]], or even earlier.  

Dragons were considered extinct several times in [[The Quelmar Realm|Quelmar]], only for them to come back again. Dragons worshiped various gods and were categorized not just by their external colors and shapes, but also their own moral compasses. Generally speaking, Chromatic Dragons were nastier and followed [[Tiamat]] whereas Metallic Dragons were more benevolent and followed [[Bahamut]]. 

Rarer than the Chromatics and Metallics, Planar and Gem Dragons came from other planes and worlds. They were rarely seen in Quelmar history until their presence exploded during the great Dragon watershed known as [[The War of Many Names]], where [[Bahamut|Bahamut's]] return included the ushering of Dragons from all over the [[The Quelmar Great Wheel|Great Wheel]] to come join the final fight against [[Tiamat]]. 

== About ==
Because of their ancient heritage and connection to [[Kiston|Kiston's]] crystals, Dragons could not see or otherwise perceive any constructs that incorporated [[Existence Crystals|Kiston Crystals]], such as the [[Warforged]].

== History ==

=== Prehistory ===
{{Prehistoric}}

=== BR Era ===
By the time [[Human|Humans]] came to the realm proper, it was established that all of the realm's residents were familiar with the Metallic Dragons and [[Dragonkin (Player Race)|Dragonkin]] of [[Bahamut]]. However, lurking in secret, even at the beginning of written history, were the Chromatic Dragons of [[Tiamat]] which lurked on the central island of [[Kiston (Island)|Kiston]].

Metallic Dragons often needed to snack on precious metals, which would replenish their body's own minerals and ensure clean scale growth. For some Dragons such as the bronze general [[Tenorixion]], this would even include eating copper or silver pieces.
