All dragons hatch as pink worms with no identity or race. They absorb energies as they grow, eventually taking on an aspect depending on what kinds of energies they have absorbed. The energy they have the most of tends to accumulate faster and define them. Some dragons find a way to maintain a balance of certain kinds of energies, becoming more powerful kinds of dragons. And some legendary dragons plot to become perfect specimens.

Kren'hukmronligi seeks to become something more powerful than any dragon before him. He seeks to usurp the power of the Dragon God himself.

Note: in every session, a player may choose to own an Obiefune sword.
