===The Scaled Court of Nine===
According to Faestir records of ancient history (who are really the only source to go on) the Court of Nine was a collection of the most prominent, powerful, and most influential individuals in Draconian society. Nine mages, sorcerers and wizards of terrific power.

*'''San-Saragoth'''- Originally the leader of the nine. When he opposed Tiamat's magical corruption, he was assassinated. Bahamut inherited his position as leader.
*'''Bahamut'''- Creator of the Faestir race. He was allegedly the wisest, strongest and noblest of the draconians, though this information comes from the Faestir, who may be somewhat biased.
*'''Belial'''- A powerful political figure in the draconian empire akin to a baron or knight. Known in legend for being proud almost to a fault, and for encouraging a decadent lifestyle. He was eventually destroyed, but not entirely killed. Fragments of his soul are said to have become the Nidhogr.
*'''Naga'''- Very little is known about this figure but for the title "Persecutor of all Creatures." She is often seen as a twister of form and of life, suggesting that she may have been some kind of arcane scientist, and that she in fact created the kobolds. She is best known, however, as the creator of [[Londerfell#Heloraen Vosilea (The Water Forest)|Heloraen Vosilea]].
*'''Tiamat'''- Rival of Bahamut. According to the Faestir she betrayed several members of the Scaled Court and murdered them in an effort to absorb their souls for greater power. She was unable to control the power she absorbed and was driven insane, taking their heads on her shoulders and developing multiple personalities.
*'''Quetzal'''- The high priest of the main religious temple. Faestir legends depict him as a wise old man, a harsh teacher of the faith. Some suggest that the Toltecatl have an artifact of his in Rs.
*'''Smaug'''- Best known for killing some dwarves and taking their Fortress. He was the son of Glaurung.
*'''Grendel'''- The verse before? Have some more.
*'''Glaurung'''- Legends of this figure are contradictory and confused, though many indicate that he was a friend of Belial.
*'''Avaira'''- Racial legends agree on little but her name. She was a member of the Nine for only a short time, as she was appointed after the death of San-Saragoth, to bring the number back up to nine. She was killed by Tiamat soon after.

According to Faestir records (always to be considered with skepticism) and the legends of other races, Tiamat grew jealous of Bahamut. She betrayed the Scaled Court and slew many of them in an effort to absorb their power. This she accomplished, at the price of her own sanity. The destruction of the Scaled Court marked the end of the draconians as their government was shattered and the survivors (allegedly) increasingly preyed upon each other in a quest for power.
