Rexxit refugee here, so I guess I’ll try to do my part in case things don’t improve on Reddit. So what are dragons or similar beings like in your world?

In my world, dragons are called The Watchers, in charge of safeguarding the worlds from premature destruction. They were created by the gods to live alongside “lesser” mortals, but they blur the line between the mundane and divinity. For this reason, they consider themselves to be the apex species - and they aren’t wrong. They’re stronger, they’re smarter, they’re extremely long-lived. They have to be able to contend with any and all threats. But they also look down upon regular mortals and demand tributes. Even the most benevolent ones display some amount of haughtiness. Their borderline tyrannical nature caused humans in particular to rise up against them and drive them to near extinction, which was incited by the ascension of the Man-God. With many of their brethren slain, stereotypical stories of cruel wurms being celebrated, and the worship of the Man-God, many dragons have taken an antagonistic stance against humanity. They no longer express any interest in communicating with humans, which they did in the past via telekinesis since they can’t speak. It has also led to many killing and eating as they please with no regard to how it effects man.

    Sounds interesting. Do southern dragons have fur or feathers, since they live in what I assume to be a cold environment?

      That’s something I never really considered honestly. I’ve always imagined them as just having scales but it could definitely be interesting to give some of them fur or feathers. They do live in a cold environment, but I just hand-waved that part away with saying they use magic to keep warm if needed haha.

      Thanks for the response :)
