The 8 Dragon Lords

In the Current 4th age, dragons are not very common, and these eight dragon lords have not been properly seen since the Cleansing toward the end of the 2nd age. Many believe that the dragon lords are not dead. Some believe they transformed into humans to hide away or even that they are asleep hidden in deep caves or dudgeons waiting for the right moment to wake up; whatever the case may be, the 5 Chromatic dragons among the 8 Dragon lords are very dangerous, and if they were to return it could mean an end to the world we know...

Each Dragon is very different, and they all have their own ideas and ambitions; #1 on the list is Balerion, the Red Dragon, also known as the Red Death. Balerion is the largest of all 8 Lords, Balerion is thought to be the oldest and is classified as a Ancient Red Dragon. In ancient ruins and scriptures, it's said that the Red Death would block the sun with his wings and rain down flame upon the land, leaving nothing but death and ash. Balerion wants to cull the world and make it his hellish paradise. Had it not been for the Cleansing, he might have done it.

#2 is Cedron, the Green Dragon. Cedron is a sickly-looking dragon whose depictions are always very thin and almost undead looking. Not much is known about Cedron, but it's said he can breathe a putrid green gas that can melt the flesh off the bone.

#3 is Fimir, The Blue Dragon. In all tails of Fimir, he has never been seen as he travels in a storm large enough to cover entire nations. His roar is louder than the thunder following him, and his electric breath shocks the earth below. It's said that Fimir hides his body as he is deformed following the war with the Eutherians, and to hold his pride, he hides within the clouds.

#4 is Deltrana, the white Dragon; it's said that she lives in the Whitestone mountains and has cursed the land to forever live in eternal winter. Deltrana is a ferial beast compared to her other lords. It is written that she can freeze a human sold just from her icy gaze. It's impossible to tell if she's still around as many who try seeking her out don't return. 

#5 is Kyvan, the Yellow Dragon. Kyvan has only ever been spotted in Dornn, he is an elusive dragon, and there's not much we know about him. The only form of writing about him is from travelers trying to cross the Zeabor dunes stating they saw a beast swimming through the sands like a serpent in the ocean. It's thought that he alone destroyed Eagle Hollow after they tried to hunt him down... but no one truly knows.

#6 is Zu Tyan, the Gold dragon; Zu Tyan is written as a Guide, possibly the first to truly harness the world trees' power; he was a teacher and lived with the elves guiding and providing magic to all that wished to learn at the world tree. After the Cleansing, Zu Tyan and the elves diapered. It's theorized that he still lives with the elves where ever they disappeared to. 

#7 is Azura the Sliver Dragon; Azura is almost a historical ghost. She had multiple sightings when all the rest of the lords were long gone or even forgotten. Its thought that she travel the plain as a human learning, giving, and teaching to all who so wish it. Azura was always the curious one. Who knows if she is someone right next to you...

#8 is Indrum, The Brass Dragon; Indrum, in the ruins and scriptures, said he was a collector of knowledge and that over the centuries, he has amassed a library extensive enough that it would take a lifetime to see only a fraction of the knowledge he holds. It's hard to pinpoint where his library is... the location was long lost, but some say they have seen it somewhere deep in the Rainforests of Valain. 

Eutherian War Giant

Gargantuan Construct, unaligned

Eutherian War giants can be found anywhere in Aetheria but they are extremely rare, and even if someone is lucky to find one they would need an Eutherian Crystal to power such a Colossal machine.  In the First age, these Giants were use to battle the dragons in the first age war, following the cleansing many were destroyed along with their power sources. If one is to be powered up, the Eutherian Machine will follow the will of the one who powered it up as its believed they make an internal connection to their "master" and follow their bidding but it takes a massive amount of concentration. If the Master cannot make a CON saving throw of 12 or Higher after an action. On a failed save The Eutherian Giant will de activate until the master can re make the connection.
