Procreation

Ejderhalar reproduce with one another to make shebvic dragons, or they reproduce with dragons to make true dragons. Their eggs absorb and amplify energies, but repel aligned energies. They do not reproduce outside their species without supernatural intervention.

Powers

Ejderhalar are immune to aligned energies.

Weaknesses

The ejderhalar are weak to nothing, but each one can be sealed through a specific ritual.

Nations

The ejderhalar belong to no nation. They are twelve impossibly powerful beings who exist as the embodiments of eternal conflicts. Each has a servitor nation, however.

Culture

The nations of the servitors of the ejderhalar are as follows:

• Antrenman Yapanlar: They Who Train’s servitor nation is called the Kaaloo. They are a multispecies nation dwelling in the taiga where they spend all of their time training to become perfect in every conceivable skill. This impossible task is done with the intent of pleasing Antrenman Yapanlar, whom they worship as the inherent ability of all things to learn. They are granted new bodily features as they learn new skills. If they prove their mastery of any given skill, they gain a new organ, limb, or feature.

• Gizlice Giren: She Who Sneaks’s servitor nation is called the Izdöö. They are a multispecies nation dwelling in the great cities of western Dabusen, where they refuse to live in the open. They recognize no mortal law, obeying only the code of their mistress. They are beggars, thieves, and others on the fringes of society because they believe that is what their mistress requires. They seek to steal treasures that will please her, and when they find one, she transforms them partly into jewels or precious metals.

• Hayatta Kalan: She Who Survives’s servitor nation is called the Arkıluu Aluu. They are a multispecies nation dwelling in the wilderness. They are survivalists who refuse to be part of any city or town, but instead, living off the land to please their mistress. When they catch prey that pleases her, she transforms them, giving them features of predator animals, until they are unrecognizable.

• Ikamet Eden: He Who Dwells’s servitor nation is called the Turak Jay. They are a multispecies nation dwelling in vast buildings in many cities around Dabusen, where they constantly build new structures and figures, seeking to please their master. He turns them into strange statues when they please him, making them living stone, metal, and glass, until he tires of it and turns them back into their mortal forms.

• Itaat Eden: He Who Obeys’s servitor nation is called the Kızmat Kıluu. They are a multispecies nation dwelling in cities and towns around Dabusen, where they honor the local laws above all but their own master’s laws. They seek to please him by their perfect adherence to order, and he rewards them by granting them plant-like features each time they do.

• Kavga Edenler: They Who Fight’s servitor nation is called the Karama-Karşı. They are a multispecies nation who wander throughout western Dabusen, seeking wars to fight in. They are a mercenary force with their own deep culture, seeking combat that will please the Kavga Edenler. When they are pleased, their servitors are transformed, such that their bodies become weapons.

• Koruyan O: She Who Guards’s servitor nation is called the Bögöt Koyuu. They are a multispecies nation who dwell in borderlands throughout western Dabusen, and live as nomads along these borders. They are warriors and builders, seeking to please their mistress through combat and works of construction. When they do so, they are turned into different shapes.

• Onlar Olanlar: They Who Are’s servitor nation is called the Boluu. They are a multispecies nation who dwell throughout western Dabusen and seek to remain neutral, not aligning themselves with the many powers that exist there.

When they please them, they are granted new auras of protection.

• Ticaret Yapan: He Who Trades’s servitor nation is called the Karjıloo. They are a multispecies nation dwelling along rivers in western Dabusen, trading with other nations. They seek to make deals that will please their master. When they do please their master, they are transformed bodily so that they have more and more vaporous forms.

• Toplayanlar: They Who Gather’s servitor nation is called the Terüü. They are a multispecies nation dwelling in the mountains of western Dabusen where they forage for survival. They are a small nation who refuses to hunt or kill, so they live off what they can gather. They seek to gather that which will please Toplayanlar. When they are pleased, they transform their followers into fungal figures.

• Uyuyan: Sleeper’s servitor nation is called the Beşten. They are a multispecies nation dwelling in Wymmera amidst the dragons there. They serve dragons to please Uyuyan, who transforms them into dragons if they are pleased.

• Yenilmez Olan: The Invincible One’s servitor nation is called the Kötörüü.
