Dregonion

In Solaria, the Dregonians are creatures resembling small, chubby, scaly dragons. They vary in size, ranging from that of a regular dog to the size of a horse. These friendly pets can also be used as mounts to help their owners travel from place to place, if large enough. These delightful critters are known for their social and friendly nature, always bringing joy to those who encounter them. According to some ancient texts discovered in Talinokk, these texts mention the existence of four dragon gods who are believed to be the ancestors of the Dregonians. In these texts, it is revealed that the four held profound symbolism for the Inturos. These majestic beings were believed to represent the cycle of the mortal soul—life, passing, death, and returning. Each dragon god embodied a different aspect of this cycle, encompassing both the physical and spiritual realms and apparently lived amongst the Inturos as cited in some of the found texts.

 

The first dragon god, known as Andras, was associated with life and vitality. It was believed that Andras' presence brought growth, rejuvenation, and the flourishing of living beings but also hardship and ultimately the fear of loss. They were often represented as a chubbier-built being, showing that life is to be enjoyed to its fullest, and the ancient texts often mention this as a positive thing for a mortal to achieve. It is said this is why Dregonians are usually larger in size.

 

The second dragon god, known as Cyfrin, represented the transcendence of the mortal realm. Cyfrin was believed to guide souls on their journey after passing, helping them navigate the ethereal planes and find their place in the cosmic order. They were often represented with their eyes closed, signifying how you never truly know what lies after death, showing that the unfathomable cannot be seen with mortal eyes. It is said this is why Dregonians never open their own, even if they may be able to.

 

The third dragon god, named Veritas, personified the cycle of death. Veritas was believed to preside over the realm of the departed, ensuring the proper transition of souls into the next cycle. They were often represented as a being with small wings that are unable to be used for flight to represent their desire to leave their role as a dragon god, but their inability to leave it. It is said this is why Dregonians have small wings that are incapable of flight.

 

Lastly, the fourth dragon god, called Seren, represented the return of the soul to the mortal world. It was believed that Seren's fiery spirit granted souls the opportunity to be reborn and to embark on new journeys of growth and experience. They were often represented as a small, child-like dragon, with proportions that made them seem cute rather than fearful like the others. It is said this is why Dregonians have proportions that make them seem younger in appearance.
