Gladrus Forging The Quadhan

According to belief, after Quadhan was created, it resembled a spherical ember standing in the blacksmith’s forge. It was tougher than steel but more transparent than glass. The first dragon Gladrus, the offspring of the Guardians Terra and Aldarus, came and, like a craftsman, began to forge Quadhan by breathing its flames upon it. Then, like a glass artisan, Gladrus breathed his sacred incantation-laden breath and began to work and shape it meticulously. He blessed every part of it with his prosperity and then scattered the seeds, which were a gift from Guardian Vita. That’s why Quadhan was physically and spiritually very powerful.

It is unknown exactly when and where Gladrus was born, but after fulfilling his mission, he returned to his essence and ceased to exist. This was because it was the command of the Creators.

Before withdrawing his hand from the Haddad Continent and returning to his essence, Gladrus did one more thing. He added his own essence to the seeds that Vita had given him, and then he moved away from Quadhan. This way, the seeds were blessed, and a new process began for the birth of the Consagons.

The mission of the Consagons is to continue Gladrus’s lineage through the Lower Beings and give birth to the defenders of balance. When a Consagon takes on a human silhouette and becomes intimate with a woman, the child born becomes a Dragonborn. The Consagon stays with the child for gyrus (years) to ensure they are safely born and raised, and then they disappear. That’s why Dragonborns are the protectors of the world and the balance. According to this belief, Dragonborns and the dragons in nature originally come from the same lineage.

The truth known today; The Dragonborn, bestowed with sacred powers by their ancestors, gradually discover and learn to harness these powers as they age. In the world, there are a maximum of six Dragonborn at any given time, and once they realize who they are, they instinctively set out to access the bestowed powers. If one of them departs or passes away, a seed is planted for the next one. Their blood is also highly valuable.

It is also believed that Gladrus left behind other secrets or powers. Dragons are considered as evidence of this.

The Real Power of Dragons

In today’s world, dragons and drakes, in a way, also trace their lineage back to Gladrus. After all, Gladrus originated from Terra and Aldarus, the Guardians of Stainos, who were created by the Creators Pinhan, Innur-da, Stainos, and Zulnarox. When the time came, Gladrus returned to its essence, leaving behind some powers, secrets, and heirs upon Quadhan.

Due to these and similar connections, especially dragons have very high spiritual powers. Beyond their physical and mental strength, they place great importance on knowledge, history, and spiritual formations, truly drawing nourishment from them.

Many rumors or beliefs often attribute a strong desire for valuable items, especially gold or precious stones, to dragons and their sensitivity towards them. However, this is a misconception and is entirely derived from human tendencies towards materialism and extravagance.

The truth is that dragons primarily inhabit places rich in knowledge, history, and spiritual formations, especially around ancient structures. Ancient structures are distinct from many other buildings in terms of their lived history and energy. These structures are filled with memories of the past, built with great effort and often requiring numerous sacrifices to preserve them throughout the ages.

While not all, most abandoned ancient structures indeed have a long and equally profound history. Being in the vicinity of knowledge and lived experiences, magic and energy, ancient powers and legacies, and a unique harmony nurtures them. They feel more peaceful and tranquil in such environments. This is also a precaution to maintain balance because the interiors of ancient structures may be filled with secrets not meant for everyone. All of these factors make it possible to encounter a dragon in the vicinity of an ancient structure.

Of course, dragons value precious things, as these represent power and grandeur to them. However, their significance goes beyond what is commonly known.

It is possible to establish communication with a dragon as long as it desires it. Dragons, especially the likes of Duuru, are known to understand and speak many languages, and they have a unique voice. However, the same cannot be said for drakes of pure lineage. Drakes are more primal and fall into the category of animals. Dragons and drakes, like creation and destruction, represent both aspects of balance.

While dragons are incredibly powerful, they generally do not have an inherently aggressive nature. However, this doesn’t mean they lack the power to cause destruction on a massive scale. Throughout history, there have been instances of dragons causing great devastation, but often the reasons behind such actions have remained a mystery, making it difficult to inquire about their motivations.

Nearly all of them are immune to magic. The effects of magic do not work on them. They also have immunity to many diseases. They typically breathe fire, and this ability is akin to very powerful ancient spells, believed to be a power originating from the early stages of creation.

They feed on fresh meat as their primary source of sustenance. They reproduce through mating, and the fertilized female lays eggs approximately 1 Gyrus later. Females that are carrying offspring in their womb or have recently laid eggs can exhibit protective and aggressive behavior.

Under normal circumstances, they typically live between 600 to 1000 Gyrus (years). Their life stages include the first 1 Gyrus as an egg, 9 Gyrus as a baby, the following 90 Gyrus as adolescence, 400 Gyrus as adulthood, and beyond that, they enter their mature age. When a dragon reaches the end of its life due to age, it sets out on an unknown journey at an unexpected time and disappears. Finding a lifeless body or skeletons of a dragon is an exceedingly rare occurrence.
