Dragon Riders

Dragon Riders have always been the protectors of Aragoth.

Many believe that they’ve been sent to Aragoth straight from the gods.

They swear allegiance to Aragoth, not its ruler (until now. Cassius basically working straight for Rowena has been unheard of as far as dragon riders go, but he broke a lot of dragon rider rules, so what’s one more)

And as such, they posed a severe threat to Rowena when she was planning to take over Aragoth. Not only was it “foreseen” by Dezod that she would be killed by a Rider, but even if the Riders believed that her family died of natural causes, if they all agreed that she was unfit to rule, they would remove her from the throne

You cannot become a dragon rider unless you are chosen

This means that an egg hatches for you

Dragons can communicate with each other and other riders via mental telepathy

Dragons have an especially strong connection to their Rider

If a Rider dies, so does the Dragon

If a Dragon dies, however, the Rider doesn’t necessarily die

There have even been cases where Riders have had more than one egg hatch for them (although never has anyone had two Dragons living at one time)

Riders have magical abilities, but they don’t develop until after their Dragon hatches

They have to learn to use/control it

Abilities that Dragons/Riders have include: Dragons can breathe fire after they’ve reached about six months old. They are incredibly strong and often intelligent. They have special healing powers (for themselves, not others) that allows them to heal quickly (they aren’t immortal, however, and can’t always heal themselves fast enough) Some dragons have the power of foresight. Riders, in addition to magical abilities, have enhanced senses and strength.

Dragons and their Riders have a bond that won’t ever break, but this doesn’t mean that they always agree

Riders and Dragons are immune to fire and they cannot burn

Riders tend to heal more quickly than non-Riders, but not as quickly as Dragons do

Before Cassius and Rowena destroyed all of the Dragonriders, they all lived and trained together in the Hall of the Dragonriders

It was a massive structure in the east, large enough to house a hundred dragons and their Riders.

Young Riders would be sent there to live and train as they and their dragons grew.

Training usually lasted six years and, after that, Riders and their dragons were free to return to their regions or to remain in the east.

Most Riders w/o families, choose to live the rest of their lives in the hall with their other Riders

There are smaller Halls throughout Aragoth, but the main one/the school was located in the East, near the Capital

The Halls of the Dragonriders were all completely destroyed when Rowena took over and now they lie in ruins

House Godiva has always had a high percentage of its members born to be Riders, which is why their sigil is the dragon

Magic

what is the difference between light and dark magic? Dark Magic is the harnessing of magic for selfish and unnatural reasons (things like curses, immortality, and necromancy fall under this). Dark Magic always has consequences that someone must pay. For example, immortality requires the sacrifice of an innocent (a life for a life) as a part of a horrific ritual which must be repeated after you’ve used up the life force of your victim. Basically, it’s not fun stuff. Both the Queen and Cassius must kill innocents to keep their immortality and their unnatural abilities. While human sacrifices are the most extreme, there are always consequences when using Dark Magic and anyone who has a consciousness tends to be unable to live with them.

are you born with it or can it be learned? Both. But to elaborate, most people who study and become powerful with using magic are ones who start showing that they have natural magical abilities. They will need to learn to control and harness their abilities. If you don’t have magic, you can be taught it, although most people can only do simple spells that just assist with daily living (ie washing dishes, lighting fires, etc.). To learn anything more, it’s extremely dangerous and the consequences can be damaging to the caster’s physical and mental state. The strength of the spells can sometimes be intense and have unforeseen consequences. And in others, they cannot learn it at all. Most people do not risk learning magic, if they are not born with it.

how does magic work? In it’s simplest form, is the manipulation of the energy around you. There aren’t words or incantations that need to be spoken in order to do this: it’s all about your mental state, although it is normally directed by the hand. Magic does depend on the caster’s life energy, so performing a spell that they aren’t ready for, can potentially can kill them. The specific limits of a character’s abilities are more or less based on the rper’s discretion – but if you have questions, feel free to ask!  Now w/ Dezód, I feel like his magic might be slightly different. He’s the most powerful sorcerer that Aragoth has ever seen and he has the ability to travel through different universes (which no one else can do or learn to do), so he might have some other abilities that no one else does. Basically, I’m leaving that up to Kate.  Some examples of things you can do with magic: enchant objects to give them magical properties (examples of this are scrying glasses. These are made by summoning a spirit – or demon if you are daring – and trapping them in a reflective surface, such as a silver tray or a mirror. They will be able to spy on people and report back/sometimes show you visuals. Only demons can capture sound, but if they should ever escape they will drag you to hell and you won’t ever escape them. I’m also cool with you guys coming up with your own enchanted objects. ;D If your character ever uses one, let me know and I’ll post about it.) Other things you can do is teleportation and physical transformation (these are things dragonriders cannot do, but sorcerers and sorceresses can). Physical transformation is very advanced and I’m not sure that either Safira or Rowena can do it (at least not yet). Also, there’s potions, too.  So that’s more or less everything I know about magic. I honestly haven’t figured out everything (so I guess the title is a little misleading), but hopefully this is a jumping off point and makes things clearer, but please let me know if you have more questions. ;D
