What's that? You want to know everything there is to know about dragons? I am Vildan, my friend, and I have studied these magnificent beings for longer than you have likely been alive. Had I even another hundred years I could never learn all there is to know about them. But since you appear to be pressed for time I shall endeavor to give you a summary of the fundamentals. Our world is one of terrifying creatures and unsurpassed beauty. Things live within our realm that defy the mind's ability to comprehend. Without a doubt, the most dangerous and yet fascinating creatures in our world are the dragons. Dragons sit comfortably at the top of the bestial hierarchy, with no natural rivals for their position. As if flight and the ability to breathe death upon their enemies were not enough, their intelligence is far superior to the average human. Left to their own devices they are cunning and treacherous opponents. Our nation was founded on dragons and their power. For us, dragons symbolize all that is mighty and powerful, graceful and majestic. Dragons can be formidable spellcasters in their own right and our legends tell us dragons are tied to the natural weave of magic in ways that we do not yet understand. If a dragon has a weakness at all, it is the strong belief of it's own superiority. A dragon simply can't fathom an opponent that would be a serious threat. Dragons are such superior predators that they could easily unbalance the forces of nature. They do, however, need tremendous amounts of sleep to function normally and are known to rest for literally hundreds of years after a particularly filling meal. There are many known species of dragons in our realm and likely far more beyond it. The two most powerful species-the Red and the Gold-are also those that have played the largest role in the history of Izmer.
