Editing Dragon (section)

The creatures called "dragons" in the [[Iron Kingdoms]] look nothing like dragons in other worlds. Rather than winged serpentine creatures of majesty and power, the "dragons" of Caen are [[Call of Cthulhu|monstrosities of inconsistent form]] and not of this world, capable of altering the bodies and minds of other creatures in horrific ways with an exotic energy they constantly emit, an energy the people of this world simply call "blight." The only thing known about their origin is that the gods did ''not'' create them. They are immortal as long as their athanc (a kind of heartstone) is not destroyed. A dragon reproduces by chipping off a piece of its athanc and letting it generate a new body, but such offspring have an innate urge to recombine their athancs and control all the power within them. Between their ability to regenerate from any amount of damage and their athanc being next to impossible to destroy, dragons are nigh unkillable. While the residents of Caen have sometimes managed to defeat a dragon in combat the only known way for one to die is another dragon consumes their athanc.

There are two dragons of significance in Caen.

* Dragon Lord Toruk, god and master of the [[Cryx]] faction and "father" to the other known dragons. He created the other dragons so he could have servants in his image, they proved to be a bit too much like him and he's been plotting to kill them ever since. Toruk is the most powerful known entity on Caen. The only thing keeping him in check is because the other dragons are so afraid of him that they have a deal to set aside their differences if Toruk starts acting up. As such Toruk has been working to create an undead from the inhabitants of Caen to help kill the other dragons and consume their athanc, only getting his hands dirty if he has no other options.

* Everblight, a shard of Toruk that went off and did its own thing with elves and mutations, eventually taking a page from his old man's book by creating his [[Legion of Everblight|eponymous faction]] to help kill the other dragons. Everblight is the smallest of the dragons in Caen, so much so that in order to hide from his enemies he choses not to regenerate his body and simply hides as an athanc since none of his enemies expect it. Thus far he's suceeded in killing two of other dragons.
