| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, topaz dragons grow to be legged serpents with huge wings, the face of a lion, but with an eagle's beak, and their under-wings stink highly. They have very prominent breasts, and their scales are studded with topaz. |
| 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 | Topaz dragons absorb vast amounts of winds aether. Pattern aether is also very common, as is sol angelic aether. Poioumenon, soul energy, psionics, mana, and divine energies are common. Complexity, flux, and fortune are very popular. Radiance, entropy, brumal aether, and fundamental aether are not unheard of. Other powers vary, but msawhat is 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 control winds, wind form, improve speed, improving flying skill, and skybreak. |
| Alternate Forms | Topaz dragons sometimes take the form of a yankiir. |
| Weaknesses | Msawhat corrupts and hurts them. |
| Subspecies | Wind beasts are dragons who have accumulated more winds aether than most. These are wyrms made of wind that control the winds around them and dwell in the upper atmosphere. |
| Culture | Topaz dragons lay eggs atop the highest mountains in Gyrah, where parents take care of their young. They live in flocks that have a series of roosts across a portion of a mountain range. These dragons make alliances with the locals in the valleys below to supply their hoards and trade with the aircraft merchants for more. They are somewhat nomadic just after reaching maturity, also seeing the world to build hoard, and these are called kren-aikanas. When they grow old, they fly off to the upper atmosphere to die. |
