 ===== Types of Dragon =====
-Dragons are as diverse as they are widespread, though there are a few general types they fall into. These have been compared to the different races which exist amongst mortals.
+Dragons are as diverse as they are widespread, though there are a few general types they fall into. These have been compared to the different races which exist amongst mortals. All true dragons can live thousands of years, with the oldest recorded dragon being more than ten thousand years old. Their souls are powerful, and have been known to linger and remain in the world after defeat or death.

 **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.

 ==== 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.
