The Dragons
There are many types and colors of Dragons...
Black Dragons Black dragons are sometimes known as skull dragons because of their skeletal faces. Adding to the skeletal impression is the gradual deterioration of the hide around the base of the horn and the cheekbones. This deterioration increases with age and does not harm the dragon. On hatching, a black dragon’s scales are thin, small, and glossy. As the dragon ages, they become larger, thicker, and duller, helping it camouflage itself.
White Dragons The scales of a wyrmling white dragon glisten like mirrors. As the dragon ages, the sheen disappears, and by very old age, scales of pale blue and light gray are mixed in with the white.
Blue Dragons A blue dragon’s scales vary in color from an iridescent azure to a deep indigo. The size of its scales increases little as the dragon ages, although they do become thicker and harder. When the dragon is angry or about to attack, it gives off a faint odor of ozone and sand. Their vibrant color makes blue dragons easy to spot, but also camoflagues them against mountains and whatnot.
Red Dragons The small scales of a young red dragon are a bright glossy scarlet.. Toward the end of young age, the scales turn a deeper red, and the glossy texture is replaced by a smooth, dull finish. As the dragon grows older, the scales become large, thick, and strong.. The neck frill and wings are an ash blue or purple-gray toward the edges, becoming darker with age. The pupils of a red dragon fade as it ages.
Green Dragons A young green dragon’s scales are thin, very small, and a deep shade of green that appears nearly black. As the dragon ages, the scales grow larger, thicker, and lighter, turning shades of forest, emerald, and olive green, which helps it blend in with its wooded surroundings.
Yellow Dragons At birth, a yellow dragon’s scales have a ruddy brown color with a metallic tint. As the dragon gets older, the scales become finer and more yellow-ish, assuming a soft, warm 'off-golden yellow' by young adult age. Very old dragons’ scales pick up a tanned tint.
Brown Dragons A young brown dragon’s scales are tan tinged with green, showing only a hint of brown. As the dragon approaches adulthood, its color deepens slowly to a darker, rich bronze/brown tone. Very old dragons develop a blue-black tint to the edges of their scales.
Gold Dragons On hatching, a gold dragon’s scales are dark yellow with golden metallic flecks. The flecks get larger as the dragon matures until, at the adult stage, the scales are completely golden. Gold dragons’ faces are sagacious; as they age, their pupils fade until the eyes resemble pools of molten gold.
Silver Dragons A young silver dragon’s scales are blue-gray with silver highlights. As the dragon approaches adulthood, its color gradually brightens until the individual scales are scarcely visible.

The Dragon Riders
The Riders have a big responsibility, and must get along with the other Riders. Riders are important, and therefore, must be active on this board. There are Elf Riders and Human Riders only. There are more human riders than elf riders, and more male riders than female riders. There aren't many Riders at all either, they are very rare nowadays, only three or four within each Kingdom. (there are three Kingdoms)
