Nyecia

Arallis

Keeper of the Sun Urteil

Favored of The One, Arallis took care in overseeing all of creation. Each blade of grass, each animal, and even the two-legged masters of it all, were under his watchful eye. Everything had a purpose, a rhyme and reason. His mind bent on the natural order of things, he took it upon himself to rule over the others, creating a team of Keepers rather than a sea of individuals. Consequently, he was forced to remove Vestari, her destructive nature and chaotic will being highly disruptive to the basic order.

Above all things, Arallis favors order and justice. He is the gravitational force of the world, holding all things in place, the steadying hand of Nyecia. Those who are chosen by him find themselves able to change the very face of the planet with their hold over gravity itself. Abuse of this power is not an option, as his clerics are always mindful of the need for order. Releasing the gravitational hold in one spot to eject a foe from the area, however, is not unheard of. Flight, levitation, and other similar actions are also possible.

Dragons

Before the world of Nyecia was complete, the One created the Dragons, the most mysterious of all races. The Keepers did not understand the origin of the beasts, and at first watched them closely, seeking to label them within one Keeper's domain. After a time, they gave up, realizing that the powers contained within those sleek, shimmering bodies was not of any single style, but encompassed all of their abilities.

With long, lizard-like bodies, they were both fierce and beautiful, immediately enchanting those mortals with greed in their hearts with visions of dragonskin armor. Though they are not inherently evil, the dragons could not very well allow themselves to be slaughtered. And so the death toll rose until at last the great beasts decided it would be best to simply vanish. They have since become nothing but a myth to all but the most travelled of adventurers.

On Being A Dragon

Unlike other creatures born naturally from the womb (or an egg), the origins of dragons are completely unknown to all but the dragons themselves. No adventurer has ever claimed to find a dragon egg, nor have there ever been reports of baby dragon sightings. It is as if they simply appear.

The answer to this mystery is directly connected to the fact that there are always exactly one hundred dragons at any given time. When a dragon dies, it's corpse becomes ash, falling away into the wind. At that very moment, another dragon appears somewhere on the planet, it's body appearing like rolling mist from the clouds. An individual may be defeated, but a war against dragons would be unending.

Despite fairytales that include the countless feasts on human flesh, dragons are actually capable of living without eating. At least not in the normal sense. They live on the very metals of the earth, the warmth of the sun, and quench their thirst with mineral-heavy water, including that of the sea. The metals they eat are not necessarily ingested orally, though they are known to do so in a pinch, but rather absorbed through their very scales. Pure water is toxic to them when ingested, forcing them to live only in certain areas with heavy mineral deposits, or in mountainous or oceanic regions.
