| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, dragons grow to be rich brown and tan storybook dragons. |
| 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 | Russet dragons have absorbed great amounts of poioumenon. Yahas, kor, mystery, fate, fortune, symbolism, and karma are all common, as is mana. Divine energies are not unheard of. Emotional resonances are common except boredom, and psionics are not unheard of. Ethereal energy is not uncommon. Aetherial energies are frequently found. All other powers vary. |
| 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 make legendary, break fourth wall, alter character, and sense theme. |
| Alternate Forms | Russet dragons sometimes take the form of a Tarcene. |
| Weaknesses | Boredom resonance hurts them. |
| Subspecies | Legendary dragons have accumulated so much poioumenon, they become part of legends instead of reality. They exist only in dreams. |
| Culture | Russet dragons lay their eggs in nests in the forests of temperate islands. The whole family helps raise the young. They live in small tribes of several families. The leader of the tribe is the oldest dragon. They build their hoards through tributes from locals, whom they form alliances with. They are grand storytellers and are sought out by bards, who also bring treasures to buy tales. |
