Here Be Dragons

Index | Time Under Chaos | Almanac | Magical Items | Dragons

It will be possible to have a dragon in this game. It will even be possible to be mind-linked with your dragon.

However, such a dragon will emphatically not be a familiar. Instead they will be the type of dragon encountered in the novels of Naomi Novik. If you're not familiar with these magnificent creatures, the GM urges you to rectify this gap in your knowledge as soon as possible.

In brief, you will have to make sure that your dragon not only has all the necessary equipment, but a full flying crew and ground staff as well. It will be a serious commitment.

Dragons are similar to dragons in many world mythologies, although they are divided into different "breeds" with differences in coloration, size, skeletal structure, etc. They seem to without exception have wings and the ability to fly, even those that can weigh up to 50 tons in weight. They are intelligent and sentient, although the degree of their intelligence varies from those that can understand only a few words (such as the Winchester) to those that have been known to compose epic poetry (such as the Celestials). Dragons are typically born with the ability to speak. They learn languages while still in the shell, and any language they are exposed to during that time, they can speak fluently from birth. In the wild, dragons seem to have their own language, probably one dating back to before they were domesticated. Domesticated dragons "bond" with a human. This is not some kind of psychic connection, but more of a strong bond than between owner and pet. Dragons will do anything to prevent their aviators from harm, and in battle, dragons can be "captured" if their aviators are held at gunpoint or in some other way threatened. Because of their long lives, dragons tend to outlive their human partners. In this case, they may be tempted to bond to another (possibly a descendant or family member of their lost partner) or they may become too listless to do much of anything. Some dragons may be acquisitive hoarders as in our mythology, and this may lead them to become very jealous of the attentions of their human partner. Like our legendary western dragons, some dragon breeds can breath fire or "spit" acidic venom (vitriol), two traits that are prized in countries where dragons are used primarily for military pursuits. Dragon breeds can have other unique traits, such as wings that allow them to hover or make sharp turns, the ability to ingest and spew large quantities of water, and night vision.
