I had the most insaaaaane idea for a light ancient fucking. Hold me up to it tomorrow ok
Light about information knowledge libraries and shit right. Ok. Ok hear me
Lightweaver has had important information in the ruins of her territory and also her own shit lost to time and pillaging and shit. She can't maintain it herself but she also doesn't want to create beings who can mess up or betray their goal. Shes looking over whatever tf going on w banes and gaolers and going hmmmmm. No
So instead she gives the information itself, found on walls and scrolls and books, a draconic form. And she makes them gladiators, sworn in self preservation and passing down knowledge by hatchlings (who themselves are embued with their oarents original data).
But they never stopped being information, never stopped being words on a page or inscriptions on a wall: they can return to it, live on it. Runed and words and symbols moving around everytime they go in and out. They cant bring weapons and adornments with them, so they make it from their own bodies
How theyre finally found out? Velya decided to team up with a light preservation guild, and find out why trespassers are almost always found dead, stabbed and impaled, when there are no traps in sight
Amphibian/reptile esque guys which can bend and squish and navigate crowded/dangerous spaces that they tend to live in, like the ruins and abandoned libraries, but still thick and rough to avoid penetration from attacks. They're bipedal with no wings, almost uncanney valley to other dragons, because they're made optimized for combat... do u see my vision.
They could pop out in and out of walls and books, but also exist in them. Their original data/word/symbol form can also move, being the origin of the ruins constantly shifting symbols...
I like to think their terts would be based on combat, giving them different weapons or armor
IMPORTANT UPDATE
evil baby
