Dragon

The dragons were the first race that populated the planet of Erristan. Originally created by the demons in the era of the Mother's imprisonment, the dragons grew into a wise and immensely powerful race.

Dawn of the Universe
The demon Sarash the Wise came to Erristan several hundred years after its creation by Kharr in search of a place to escape from the reckless pride and passion of the rest of his kind. The abandoned planet appealed to Sarash for a variety of a reasons; its deep oceans, pure waters, and verdant plant life gave the planet a monastic feel that he had found in no other place in his wanderings. So it was that Sarash set out to create intelligent life to enjoy the peace of the planet alongside him.

He crafted the bones of the first dragon from the hardest stone, and sang its flesh and scales from the pure waters of the great lakes in the eastern half of the planet's one great continent. After further thought, he gave the dragon wings, to appreciate the heights of the planet's great peaks with ease, and breathed life into his creation with a spark of his own demonic fire.

Sarash crafted three more dragons in this manner, instructing each one in the way of a certain element. Thus, the first elemental dragons were born.

Sarash taught the dragons of his philosophy; all living things are created equal, and that life was to be treated with reverence. As the dragons began to populate the planet, they formed a society based around this philosophy. Sarash took this as his cue to change his form into that of one of his creations, integrating smoothly into their way of life not as a leader, but as a peer.

When the Mother created the demon world as a punishment for all demons, Sarash, in spite of his solitude and his new form, was not spared her wrath. He went peacefully into the new dimension and has remained there since, consulting with the dragons in their times of great need.
