-Jaernian dragons originated with semi-aquatic lizards on [[settings:jaern|Jaern.]] Not much is known about how they came to be, or how the [[lore:races:onivero|Onivero]] and nascent lizard civilizations interacted with them. What is known, though, is that when Jaern's impact to Torandor was imminent, they pooled their magic to escape into a safe pocket dimension, where they would remain in slumber.+Dragons originated on the old world of Torandor. Not much is known about how they came to be. What is known, though, is that when Jaern's impact to Torandor was imminent, they pooled their magic to escape into a safe pocket dimension, where they would remain in slumber.
  
 A deal was struck with mortals: after two hundred years, a return portal was to be opened and the dragons would be let into the new world - assuming one was found. However, in the chaos of Jaern's advent, this deal was forgotten and the dragons would remain in slumber for more than two millennia more.  A deal was struck with mortals: after two hundred years, a return portal was to be opened and the dragons would be let into the new world - assuming one was found.

 The wyvern is the flying cousin of the drako. It has two back legs, and its front limbs are wings. They come in all the same elemental variations as drakos and are believed to have a similar origin, being created by true dragons millennia ago. The names for the elemental variations are Aerovern, Terovern, Fajrovern, Akvovern, and Glaciovern. The wyvern is the flying cousin of the drako. It has two back legs, and its front limbs are wings.

-They are slightly smaller and more social than drakos, and form packs of family groups to hunt and raise young. They tend to eat smaller game, and people often see them as "wolves of the sky". Due to this social aspect, wyverns are far easier to tame than drakos. Some nomadic rondos on Jaern and the people of the Oxis Alliance on Cahyali have tamed wyverns, using them as flying mounts.+They are slightly smaller and more social than drakos, and form packs of family groups to hunt and raise young.

Some nomadic rondos on Jaern and the people of Ulos on Cahyali have tamed wyverns, using them as flying mounts. In the Ulosian military, wyvern-riding military detachments are referred to as //dragoons.//
  
 Wyvern tamers say that they are quite intriguing creatures, each with their own colorful personality, but one thing you have to watch out for is the breath weapon. And the piss - the piss reeks something awful. Wyvern tamers say that they are quite intriguing creatures, each with their own colorful personality, but one thing you have to watch out for is the breath weapon.
