| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, dragons grow to be feathered serpents with massive, bull-like horns, six tails (each ending in a glowing ball). Their scales are alabaster white and their heads are leonine. They have stubby legs and huge feathered wings.. |
| Procreation | Dragons mate with each other only. Without intense supernatural interference, half-dragons are an impossibility. Dragons lay one to three eggs at a time. Upon hatching, a dragon immediately begins absorbing background energies. All dragon eggs are filled with pure, liquid draconic energy, which sustains the baby dragon upon hatching. |
| Esoterica | Alabaster dragons have accumulated heavenly light, hegnh, calm resonance, qi, the Law, gratitude resonance, blood, compassion resonance, nommos, comfort resonance, radiance, dumaqu, Foundation, and loyalty resonance bonded by ethereal energy. Divine energies are common, but other powers are impossible. |
| Special Powers | Dragons gain new powers as they accumulate more energies. At each stage of growth, they gain a new ability, usually culminating with the twelfth ability when they accumulate . The usual progression of powers is as follows:
All dragons accumulate energies by absorbing them naturally from the area around them. As such, they must carefully cultivate their lairs to provide the right kinds of energies, hence they hoard appropriate objects. Other common powers include bond to service, perfectly untouchable, nourish people (1 mile radius), understand systems, restore youth, major healing, sense truth, create sanctuary, create familial bond, equalize souls, and enforce duty. |
| Alternate Forms | Alabaster dragons sometimes take the form of any Alabaster animalman. |
| Weaknesses | Unholy powers in vast quantities can hurt them. |
| Subspecies | N/A |
| Culture | Alabaster dragons lay their eggs on the sides of cliffs above their communities. The whole community takes turns caring for them and protecting them, and in times of crisis, the defence of the young comes first. At maturity, they are given a task based on their abilities and that is how they serve the community. Some are tasked with building and guarding the communal hoard. Others are tasked with liaising with local communities. The leaders are chosen by the entire community based on a rotation of duties, but one can opt out of the rotation. As they age, they eventually retire, becoming respected elders in the community. |
