Black Dragons

• Rarity: Cursed Common

• Description: The Black Dragon, once a creature of immense power and fiery wrath, becomes a tragic victim of the Curse of Ashen Rebirth. This curse affects those who have tampered with necromancy or dark resurrection rituals, pushing them into a half-death state. For Black Dragons, this curse causes their vibrant, fiery breath to fade into nothingness, replaced by a horrifying and corrosive acidic breath. The once-bright, heat-filled flames are replaced by a cold, toxic mist, capable of melting through the toughest of materials. As the curse spreads, their once brightly colored scales begin to fade and turn black, reflecting the taint of their souls as they are consumed by the dark forces within. Their eyes become clouded, glowing with an eerie, unnatural light, and their once-steely minds become clouded with chaos and aggression.

White Dragons

• Rarity: Common

• Description: White dragons are the most common among the chromatic dragons. They are typically found in cold, icy environments and are known for their aggressive, primal nature. They are the least intelligent of the chromatic dragons but still dangerous due to their sheer ferocity.

Green Dragons

• Rarity: Uncommon

• Description: Green dragons are intelligent and manipulative, typically dwelling in forests or woodlands. They are known for their ability to deceive and use their surroundings to their advantage, making them slightly rarer than black dragons due to their more intricate personalities and behaviors.

Blue Dragons

• Rarity: Rare

• Description: Blue dragons are proud and territorial, often associated with deserts and arid regions. Their affinity for lightning and storms makes them both fearsome and rare. They are more solitary, and their intelligence makes them much rarer than green or black dragons.

Red Dragons

• Rarity: Very Rare

• Description: Red dragons are the most powerful and feared of all chromatic dragons. They are fiercely territorial and often inhabit mountainous or volcanic regions. Their fire breath is incredibly potent, and they are considered to be the pinnacle of chromatic dragon power, making them extremely rare.

Black Dragons with Gold Shimmer (Special Variant)

• Rarity: Exceptionally Rare

• Description: These Black Dragons are a rare and extraordinary variant, only visible when the dragon comes of age. They appear as regular black dragons during their early years, but once they reach maturity, they develop a stunning gold shimmer across their scales that is only visible under certain lighting or conditions. This gold sheen is said to be a sign of their deep connection to ancient powers, and their rarity is heightened because they are born rare and often hidden in deep, uncharted regions. Their presence is considered legendary, and the gold shimmer symbolizes a unique form of power and maturity, making them a myth to many. There is only one born every several hundred years

Verdant Elves (Nature Manipulation & Healing Magic)

Description:

• Verdant Elves are deeply attached to the natural world, especially plants, animals, and the cycle of life. While young, they appear as normal elves, but after age 6, they undergo a significant spiritual and physical transformation. They can shape forests, summon animals, and call upon nature spirits to restore balance to the land. Their healing magic allows them to mend wounds, cure diseases, and even revive withered plants and dying ecosystems.

Abilities:

• Nature Manipulation: They can control and manipulate plant life, growing trees, flowers, and vines to form shields, barriers, or attack enemies. In times of crisis, they can communicate with animals and nature spirits for aid.

Tempest Elves (Weather Control & Nature Manipulation)

Description:

• Tempest Elves are guardians of the elements, particularly the forces of wind, rain, and storms. These elves are born with the latent ability to control weather, but the full extent of their powers only manifests when they reach the age of 6. They often act as protectors of the land, summoning rain to end droughts, calling winds to guide travelers, or using storms to ward off invaders. These elves have a symbiotic relationship with nature and the weather, their moods often mirroring the atmosphere around them.

Abilities:

• Weather Control: After coming of age, Tempest Elves can summon storms, change wind directions, or bring rain to parched lands. This ability is closely tied to their emotions, and some Tempest Elves have been known to cause weather catastrophes when in extreme distress.

• Nature Manipulation: In addition to weather control, they can manipulate plants and trees, using the forces of nature to fight against enemies or protect sacred lands.

They are revered as "Mother" or "Father" figures, with a strong sense of responsibility to maintain balance in the natural world.
