Dragons

Guardians of mortals. Curators of Espera. Conduits of magic.

Scripture
"Though not gods, these entities stand apart from the rest of the gods’ creations.  Imbued directly with form and function from the Godmother these demigods act as a bridge between Espera and the divine while their makers recover from their calamitous encounter with the void."

Background
The world of Espera, in which the Ascension arc takes place, is one that has been largely cut off from the deities that formed it. While the gods slumber to recover from a great calamity, the dragons serve as guardians of the world. The dragons function as conduits for divine magic and are the tangible representation of a time before the mortal races. These four demigods are easily distinguished by their colors: one red, one blue, one white, one black.

Dragonmaster
It is rare to see a dragon directly engage in the affairs of mortals, though it has occurred from time to time. Instead, in times of crisis Dragonmasters are appointed to serve as emissaries of divine will. In these rare instances mortals deemed worthy are temporarily granted tremendous power to resolve a conflict on a global scale.

Gossip
Dragons have been described as "the pillars of Espera".
