 **Jaernian Dragon Worship: The Cult of [[gods:kelvar|Kelvar]]:** On Jaern, there is an esoteric religion spreading which worships dragons, particularly one named Kelvar which ascended to divinity before the destruction of  Most of this worship is now centered on the island of [[settings:jaern:keerlevex|Keer'Levex]]. Most Jaernian dragons do not give much heed to dragon worshipers, though some enjoy being the subjects of reverence.
-**[[lore:races:lizards#draconics|Draconic Lizards:]]** This race, resembling small bipedal dragons without wings, was found within [[settings:jaern:kratal|Kratalian]] mountains in the late 10070s, having lived in subterranean cities unknown to the world all that time. It is thought by some that close proximity to draconic magic transformed semi-aquatic lizards into new forms, more similar to dragons. Some also believe that dragons created the draconic lizards, much like they did with the drakos.
+The god Kelvar was well-known on Torandor, though she has been almost entirely forgotten during millennia of slumber. Her people were nearly destroyed by a faction based out of [[settings:jaern:therhine:centralia|Centralia]] and the [[settings:jaern:grp|Great Rice Patty]] calling themselves the Kingdom of Derago, which sought to drive dragons to extinction and siphon their magic using a captured piece of Kelvar's soul. The Kingdom was brought to its knees, and the threat to Jaern's dragons ended in the late 10070s.

 A war would spark after a long time of tense cohabitation, named the [[history:cahyali#the_stormwing_calamity|Stormwing Calamity.]] So bloody and destructive was this war that it nearly destroyed burgeoning dwarven and human civilization, sending some of them running across the sea into modern-day Pthora and Shinneok.
-After the war ended, many dragons isolated themselves, fearing total destruction. Some left behind their mortal forms, leaving in spiritual form for the [[settings:kurago|Kurago]] or striking deals with gods to become servitors. Those which remained would become significant in the cultures of Ruefang and Vervand.

-**Long of Ruefang:** In Ruefang, a group of Long would assist in driving off a demonic invasion in the late 7800s. This act elevated the Long, and dragons as a whole, to a position of extreme reverence. Even today, the Long remains the primary symbol of Ruefang as a nation. Dragons are considered to be god-like beings, and temples across Ruefang are set up in their honor.

 The Long would mysteriously disappear in the 8200s, and would not be seen again in Ruefang [[history:cahyali:modernage#the_ars_machina_incident|until 10081.]] A group of five arrived to assist in calming the disturbed Ruefang leyspring and cleansing a group of corrupted spirits which had been driving the Ars Machina Engine, a magical train which threatened the integrity of the leyspring and all of Ruefang.

 ==== Fairy Dragons ====
-These are tiny creatures, with no actual connection to the faerie or the [[settings:planes:dreaming|Dreaming]]. Some have gossamer, insectile wings, while others have leathery wings like a true dragon's. It is mostly agreed that the origin of fairy dragons is magical. Instead of a half-spade on their tail like some dragons do, most fairy dragons have a small toxic stinger, much like a scorpion's.

 They are easily tamed, friendly, and playful creatures. They act much like foxes in the wild, making warrens in the earth and in trees and running about in loosely organized packs. Mages and priests often tame them as useful and adorable familiars.
