| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, dragons grow to be huge, serpentine scarlet beasts with flowing manes of red flame. |
| 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 | Scarlet dragons have accumulated vast amounts of bravery resonance and radiance. They also absorb heavenly light, Elysian energy, Damaskian power, hegnh, Nommic energy and qi, muscle and flesh, other emotional resonances (hope, honor, love, respect), and the Law. Mana and divine energies are not uncommon. They also are fond of rubedian aether, pattern aether, light, dumaqu, and kor. Evil energies 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 empathy, healing, improve prowess, illuminate, instill bravery, geas, and appraise achievements. |
| Alternate Forms | Scarlet dragons sometimes take the form of a mungisi if they must. |
| Weaknesses | Corrupted dream energy will harm them. |
| Subspecies | Twin dragons are iridal or scarlet dragons who have accumulated enough of both bravery resonance and Elysian energy to combine the two forms. These vary, but always feature characteristics of both kinds of dragons. They always have impossible bravery and the ability to grant wishes. |
| Culture | Scarlet dragons live in temperate forests, where they lay their eggs in gullies. These young are raised by their parents or close guardians, and they are encouraged to test themselves from a very young age. As they grow, they are sent on bigger and bigger quests, ranging from gathering a small trinket to facing great evils in the world. This continues their whole lives until they reach the age of Renown, when they are able to retire and help run the community they came from. Once they retire, they are known as kren-kivith. In their old age, they help train younger dragons, guide the community, and regale others with their tales, until they either pass away quietly or feel the urge for one last test, when they will often choose an impossible, quixotic quest to die in. |
