Added some more depth to Platyboss's lore on Radioemmiters:
The Chromatic and Metallic dragons were at war from the beginning of time, but there were always so few of them from the battles. They needed more soldiers, and they needed them quickly. Both sides feared the other was building a huge battalion of all their dragons to attack, so they each studied deep magic. A mysterious wizard known as Enoch helped them both to create a new set of dragons: Gem and Ferrous. The wizard used strange, ancient magic that the dragons had never seen.
With thousands of more dragons, the war continued and the bloodlust was greater than ever. Hundreds of dragons fell on the battlefield, and as an ancient recounting says, “The fields were drowned in dragon blood.”
A Ferrous dragon, fallen in combat, used ancient draconic magic to form a prophecy in their last dying breaths. It stated that if a chromatic and ferrous dragon, both at war with each other, unified then a new, peacekeeping dragon would be formed from that unity.
After hundreds of years of the war, two generals, a Chromium Ferrous dragon and a Red chromatic dragon, abandoned the war and decided to have peace and unity. Then, the fallen Ferrous dragon’s prophecy was fulfilled as a new type was formed. This type is known as
Radioemmiter dragons. They soon discussed with the other dragons to create peace, and peace was kept. But, Enoch hated this. He needed their fallen souls to create a spell that would give him unimaginable power. So, he cursed several of the Radioemmiter dragons to be chaotic and evil, causing the dragons to erupt in war again. But, Enoch’s plan did not last long, as a group of dragons discovered his true intentions, and slayed him.
But, Enoch’s curse still lives on and the dragons still battle endlessly, from the start of time till its end.

Yo what's up guys, I've had an epic thread idea and so have written up some lore on it, and would like some feedback to see if anybody would play in it or can improve the concept. I also shared this to Onions Are Like Worms since that's the biggest discussion thread, so hopefully I can get some responses there, but since this idea is pretty much all lore, so I think it would be good to share here and see what people think of it!
You Are What You Eat
In this world, life and society is barely blossoming, the land still young and fresh as the people upon the earth discover the powers that nature provides. Here, when a creature eats another living thing, for a short amount of time, they gain some traits and powers from that thing, such as gills from a fish, the longevity of a tree or the scales from a lizard. These powers only last for about a day though, before they taper off as the digestive system dissolves the ability, so most diets are strict and structured, built to get the most valuable abilities out of every meal, a constant experiment of testing new foods to try and discover their affects and grow in strength. Some small like-minded enclaves choose a food and stick to it, allowing the powers of their chosen dish to become like second nature, whilst other nomadic groups are constantly wandering, shifting their strengths as they adapt to the food of new lands and cultures, in a constant chronicled journey of discovery. However, recently, a darkness has spread across the tranquil balance of the world, as twisted warriors discover the strengths of cannibalism; through the consumption of another person, you gain all the powers they had, and so some dark warlords keep men alive to feed on the finest and most exotic foods, only to chop off a finger, toe or eyeball at the end of each day to gain the powers whilst only consuming a morsel.
So, in this fantasy early-medieval thread, you can play as one of the three factions: A dedicated tribe to a specific food, gaining stronger powers from the one dish they rely on (such as a Cow Tribe, who are like minotaurs, or a Fish Tribe, who are like fishmen from One Piece), a nomadic traveller who is constantly adapting their powers and dabbling in what the world has to offer, or an evil cannibal-conqueror, powered by the flesh of the captives they claim.

I would totally join that thread. What's it (going to be) called?
Probably 'You Are What You Eat' unless I come up with something better, though if I do make it into a thread that might end up being a while since I'm still not 100% sure about if it would do well as a thread, it's an awesome concept but I think I could capture that better in a story rather than a thead y'know?

Yo, I'm Himy (He/him) not as active as I use to be, but I'm here from time to time. I don't got much else to say.
"From the stars of the inner sea, from the tower of insight, from the four corners of paradise, let them know; their story is filled with blessings. Only those free of sin may pass... Garden of Avalon!”
”The elements coalesce, amalgamate, and bring forth the star that interweaves all creation. Bow down with death! Enuma Elish!”
In this word, a kind of creature called Colossi (Sing: Colossus) that are absolutely massive. The average Colossus reaches above commercial airplane flight heights. They are also pretty much invulnerable, at least by normal standards. No man made weapon has ever managed to pierce the hide of a Colossus, and are generally presumed to have an infinite lifespan. All in all, they’re borderline immortal. Colossi aren’t often seen, as they are incredibly solitary creatures, rarely seen awake (they sleep for extended periods of time, around 100-150 years, staying awake for a comparable amount of time). They are also incredibly magical, some scholars believing that they were the progenitors of magic, teaching them to the first wizards. Why is this important? Because people wanted to harness that power. They couldn’t tame a Colossi, but they could try to copy its genetic makeup. And it worked. Various kingdoms and nations managed to create Pseudo Colossi, technically called Biologically Engineered Gigantic Organisms or BEGO for short. Nobody calls them that anymore, mostly because they’re all dead. Why you may ask? Because everyone saw that everyone else also had these superpowered living super weapons and all did the natural thing. Started a world war. Fun fact, there was actually a evolutionary reason Colossi are so durable and peaceful. It’s because their entire bodies are magical, and when then die, some kind of reaction happens, causing them to poison the environment so much that staying there for more than 30 minutes results in instant death. In slightly better news, it also reshape the land around it for some reason, warping it greatly. This time, the corpses sunk underground and the surrounding earth rose high in the air, above the very clouds. Now, over a thousand years after that horrible war, everybody has adapted to high altitude life, creating the sky ships as a way of travel. Sadly, the world is greatly split apart, causing all these countries in the sky to become isolated. Some people don’t like that, making it their life’s mission to visit as much of this fractured world as they can, possibly even mapping out the entire thing

I made some lore for Magenta Dragons that I think is neat.
a lich has all the time in the world. and during this time, they get up to some truly heinous arcane experiments. due to an experiment on red dragon eggs, magenta dragons were created. magenta dragons are visually distinct from other dragons, with five horns ringing their face, permeable spots on their back, and a thagomizer on their tail, but their breath weapon is truly fascinating. the magenta dragon breathes a white fog, and anything fully enveloped in the fog, disappears. (for 1 round. there's a dex save to). when they need to, they can expell their fog from the permeable spots on their back, dissapeering themselves. liches often use magenta dragons as guards, because a magenta dragons cannot resist a command by a lich. in the wild, they enjoy high elevations and hoarding magical creatures

Character lore! (I actually used XGtE for some of this)
Thibald was an ordinary man. And then, he fell in love. Her name was Sofia. He didn't know her real name, but that was the name she went by. He also didn't know that it wasn't her real name. Anyways, as I was saying, he fell in love. His family did not approve, but he did not care. So they disowned him. He was not deterred, but he believed he needed to make more money to impress Sofia. So he became a Charlatan, swindling people out of their money. Eventually, he made enough money to impress Sofia. However, he didn't want the guilt of being a charlatan on his mind, so he became a street magician. He aimed to be the greatest street magician of all time, as he slowly made more and more money. Eventually, he felt that he could impres Sofia AND do it honestly. He returned to her to a massive surprise! She looked completely different from before. Turns out, she was a Silver Dragon in disguise; however, he still loved her, and promised to return to her with all sorts of gifts and presents. She didn't mind his disownment, and she didn't mind how "little" money he made. She loved him back. And so he started his adventuring journey.
Along the way, he found a mimic colony, completely and utterly destroyed. At first, it appeared as though there were no survivors. However, as he searched through the wreckage, he found a half-dead mimic, shielding a juvenile mimic from the harsh outside. He adopted this mimic, promising the mimic in her last dying breaths to take care of it. The mimic, which he called Serenade, soon revealed himself to be a skilled shapeshifter and Dragonchess player. He would turn into the board and play Thibald, beating him nearly every time. He often would help Thibald by turning into weapons, which had his characteristically purplish-pinkish hue, and an eye in the middle. He loved Thibald like family, although he new of the fate of his actual family.
(This next part has campaign specific stuff)
Thibald and his juvenile mimic had ventured across the land, and eventually were called upon by a secret organization, which aimed to prevent corruption. They worked together, ordered by this secret organization, to infiltrate expensive galas and corrupt palaces, robbing them of their supplies. All for a good cause, of course.
This is random, but I want it in here (also, I know the guy who made the neptunium dragon because he's me, but on a different account): The great war between the angels and the demons could not exist for long. Otherwise, they both would be destroyed. In one particularly strong conflict, a being was born: Vrynin, the Eternal Silence. This being was the balance between both life and death, dealing both radiant and necrotic damage on every hit. Vrynin still lives, taking down those who dare to challenge the gods of Xylnyrin.
Yeah, I definitely don't want this to die. Any lore ideas, folks?
Especially since this was made on a date that is very dear to me.
It shall not die! I have yet to post something but I will work on it now, I have so much I wish to share, but it is taking me forever to collect it all in a comprehensive way. Okay, I shall right after this post, get ready to share...perhaps the dragon Lore in my world. I saw some lore of dragons listed earlier and I have been thinking about them a lot lately, so I think I will work on that!

*this is the name of my world that I am working on, almost all my content is linked to this world and story
The Arch-Seraphim
When the first semblance of existence was made, it began with the creation the Heavens, and the One Creator made them as a realm for his later creations to conceive of in their finite minds, his infinite placement in a place. The Creator then populated these Heavens with many Celestial creatures, such as the Cherubim and Arch-Angels, lesser Angels and Principalities, and every known Celestial, and others the world has never known. The Creator made 2 great and powerful creatures, and they resembled the Creator's strength and cunning, His might and magnificence. Their true names in Celestial are unknown to all save the Celestials, and it said pronouncing them is to cast a great spell of magic upon the speaker, turning him into a...well I have yet to get there. So, their names are more widely spoken to be, in the Common tongue as Bahamut the Platinum Shield, and Tiamat the Prismatic Sword.
They were a couple, husband and wife, united as one, and the first of a great race of Celestial beings known now in Zionderia as Seraphim. They had 3 children, and that whole family of 5 were known as the Arch-Seraphim, the greatest of all dragon species. I say "Dragon" now, and you must be wondering, where is the connection? Well we will get to that as I continue forward but for now, let me sate the question with this question I shall answer now, "What do Seraphim look like?"
Seraphim bear a striking resemble to Dragons (though technically Dragons are the ones who bear a resemblance to Seraphim, as you will later see), in that they have a reptilian body, like an alligator, a long serpent neck to connect the head, horns and spines line the crowns of their heads and their backs. They have 2 giant, bat like wings, each at least 3/4 of the size of the rest of the Seraphim's body. I will not forget to mention the long tail, many of which are thicker than the largest tree stump. Seraphim were blessed with their very breath being the purest forms of different kinds of energy, the elemental powers that would be used by the Creators family of Elohim to created the Zionderia World later on. Fire is the most acknowledged of these elemental energies amongst Dragon kind, as it belongs to the some of the most powerful Seraphim and, later, Dragons.
Now, back to the family of the first Seraphim that are the Arch-Seraphim. They are, as I have mentioned, Bahamut, Tiamat, and their 3 children, who are: Saridor the Ruby, as eldest; Zeboim the Riptide, as second; and Aureona the Anthem, as last. Before I go any farther, let me detail each here a little more fully.
Bahamut, The Platinum Shield
Bahamut was not called The Platinum Shield for nothing, for, in Zionderia (which is the world that came well after these beings, but it is where the language of Common was formed, and thus the names of these beings were given to them in the future when the word Platinum for example was created) Platinum represents Justice, and Mercy, which are the greatest attributes of this great servant of the Creator. Platinum means this as being a metal that is unbeatable and strong, like Justice, and yet, can be shaped, and has enough give and "stretch", its Mercy, that it isn't brittle and can't be broken. The idea of Mercy can clearly be seen here as not an opposing force to Justice, or vice versa. Rather, it is a strengthener, a fortifier, a completion to the work of Justice making it more effective, and more true. This is to say, Bahamut is a creature that advocates for the Justice a creature deserves being given to them, but, having Mercy as the tool that makes this Justice more effective and righteous. As Bahamut quoted from his Creator who gave him his morals:
"For, how often is a mere heavy punishment for the wrong action what changes a creatures heart, and provides for a better future? It can no doubt do this, and an ample example can be given. One such example could be the overthrowing of a tyrant, and in desperate cases, killing him. This provides for a better future hopefully, and discourages all attempts to be like that tyrant. But, unfortunately, many beings see discouragement and warnings as mere challenges, and wish to overcome those, undoing all that simple, unmerciful "justice" did. It is more often effective, that the providing and chance given to take a better path, to show where their current path will lead and where they really want to go, this is what can change the long term of a beings heart. Taking the example above, but instead of merely killing and saying "Do not do this or you will be killed, for it is wrong", no instead of that, you come to the tyrant, and show him that, what he has done, what he is doing, is destroying the lives of all that he owns, and he will soon be the ruler of a ruined land, and therefore, a ruined lord. By this, you leave him the choice, and if he chooses wrong as a dark tyrant may, he can be left to see what he was told play out! The Mercy of sparing his life will reap flaming coals on his head, and be the Justice that changes if not his heart, then the hearts of those who see his story."
This is what Bahamut seeks to do, and teaches all his creations and followers to be like, to show Justice, as true Justice is through the practice of Mercy.
Tiamat, The Prismatic Sword
She is the mother of passionate imagination and zeal, the mother of power through a strong arm, and the Warlady of the Seraphim. Her title the Prismatic Sword springs from her ability to shine with all colors, with powers, with all that is in the world to fuel her desire to fight for a better world for her family. She is strong, and her well-known form of a multiheaded Dragon has intimidated all that would oppose her. Unfortunately, as we will see later on, she fell to lies and deceit, by the Shadow Seraphim I have failed to mention, and she used her power to try and secure for her people dominion and power. As far as what can be said for more on Tiamat, she has a history that is better explained over future, as she is a being of change, or riot and dance, of all energy and zeal that causes her rise and fall throughout the past and future of Zionderia. While her husband has remained still and strong, though not without slight crumpling and crippling, Tiamat has absorbed these changes willingly, and some, too much. She still has yet to come out of these waves of turmoil that grow the soul, choosing to rise above them stronger from them, rather than succumbing to their chaotic force.
Saridor, the Ruby Heart
A Ruby. Its red, a color that, was the favorite of Tiamat his mother, and an image of fire, the symbol of dragon fire and power. It is a Jewel, a spawn of valuable treasure, like that of Platinum, the symbol of Bahamut. He is a son of two forces, one constant, the other always changing. He loved both his parents greatly, and favored not a one, no matter what they spoke, no matter what they acted, no matter how they lived. He judged no one, and let his whole family clash around him, the two opposing forces, while he tried to hold them all together. He was neutral, and he was the one who supported all ways of life, never really helping anyone, trying to appease all who were around him. His love was not cold, it was not hot, and never helped anything. It sat around, growing both forces to fight against one another, all while under the assumption that he was just, helping both of them.s His neutrality, his lukewarm love that was ineffective, it all lead to his inability to hold his family together, and to hold himself together. He strained himself, to scared to step outside anyone's comfort, to afraid to make a disturbance, his "love" was wasted, and he broke. This happened later after the world of Zionderia was formed, but 5 pieces he shattered into, all scattering into the earth Zionderia into Gadol Cavernus, and taking the form of 5 powerful Gem Greatwyrms, that continue Saridor's sorrowful work, but now not connected, they fight each other from the sides each piece has chosen. Saridor loves, his ruby heart aching for love and peace. He even wanted it so bad, some say, he took it upon himself to keep his family together, to make it his responsibility. But did he? For all he did, was say to the wrong and right, and to the right and wrong, "You are good, you right, and I support you." He did the minimal, he did the least he could. As I said, to scared to cause anyone to dislike him, to scared to pick a side and help make a change. He didn't even pick his own side, where allies could meet under one banner, where refugees tired of the war in the family could come and find rest and a new way. He didn't to make peace, he fueled the war. He paid with his own body, for the armies of both sides, giving both more men, giving both more tools to fight the other with, all while saying "I am loving them all." It is sad, for we feel his heart, we feel his want, we share his hopes. But his ways, or rather the lack of thereof, they fought against him, and he never learned, until...like all un-eternal hearts...it shattered.
Zeboim, The Riptide Edge
Said in jest as a youth to be, "Mommy's Boy", Zeboim always has favored his mother. Specifically, he has always loved Tiamat's passion for change, and even her capacity for chaos. It is difficult to know what to say about him, other than how he sided with his mother when the war in their family began, and he used his ability to drag down opponents from behind and underneath aid her. He lent his Edge to Tiamt's Sword, supporting and fighting for her by going under cover, behind enemy lines, and unleashing his secretive chaos, and letting the riptide drag them down, and away. He is a trouble maker, a destructive force, and his few servants are powerful, and dangerous.
Aureona, The Anthem Wings
As the youngest and having come when everyone had taken their stances, she saw all her family was doing. She saw what was going on, and what he family had become. It was divided, torn, and lawless. She had much of her father's strong Justice, but without its Mercy, it was really just judgment. Aureona labeled her family as a lost cause, she like her oldest brother, took no sides. But she unlike Saridor, did not care to stick around and help. She saw how little her oldest brother was accomplishing with his "help and love", and decided she would not take part. So instead, she flew high, high above her parents, high above her siblings, and high above all that she knew and sang a song in the cloud lands of Oculis in Zionderia, and she swore in that song, to live devoid and uninterested in her families war. Instead, she would let it play, let it destory themselves, and whichever side won, she would rule herself and teach them how to have true peace. She was lofty, prideful, and cold to those who she knew. Aureona's Anthem sings of her independance, of how she needs no one but herself. For she believes she has the greatest wisdom, the greatest eyes to see above all the chaos and war, the righteousness and mercy, above all the confusion of violence and "peace". She has flown above it all, and tells herself, she, Aureona, has transcended. Little does she know, by neglecting what was hers to help keep, by letting it be destroyed by division, the evil that had started it, the Shadow Seraphim, would come to attack her next. And she...she would be all... alone.
The Creation of the Seraphim and the Dragons
These 5 Arch-Seraphim, went on to create their special kinds of creatures that were like themselves. This began with the creation of the Seraphim, who went on to make Dragons one their exact species. To show what I mean, let me put it this way. The only difference between Seraphim and Dragons in Zionderia lies that Dragons are mortal and physical, and less powerful, while Seraphim, who became mortal, are spirits, and extremely powerful (all greater that ChR. 30).
To get an idea of what each Seraphim is like and capable of, wait till I share the descriptions of their Dragons, who are practically weaker physical copies of these.
The Metallnim
Bahamut created these Seraphim. The are all named after different kinds of Metals, which, in Zionderian culture and understanding, is indicative of some link to the Earth element ways, that Grodnel the 2nd son of the Creator had power over and used to help form the world of Zionderia*.This would be a correct assumption. Despite Seraphim and Dragons being the emblem and symbols of the Fire element, the Metallnim take a role in the Fire element culture that relate to the Earth element culture held mostly by the Dwarves, the Wielders of Earth Chosen. This role is that of protection, and the symbol of a metal Shield helps emblem-ize this, and if you will remember, Bahamut is the Platinum Shield. Trying not to dwell here on this related but yet unstated fact, let it be surmised that the 10 species that were made, all have been named after different kinds of Metals, each further related to another element and power. All Metallnim take a role of protecting and helping the weak, while also providing order through Justice and Mercy as Bahamut would will them. Here they are:
*To learn more of this, I will add a link to another lore skit I made elsewhere concerning the Language of the Dwarves. The Lore link will be HERE. This has a brief mention of Grodnel, his family, his connection to the Earth, and the roles that metals play. Now, also will make a whole new skit that is more central that gives this and other lore posts more complete understanding.
Brass Seraphim

Galvanized Drakon
Also known as the Galvanized Copper Seraphim. A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called, Galvanized Acid. If one needs to know what a Drakon is, that will be simply said to be a creature capable of using acid in more that its breathe, but also in its eyes. It is a unique dragon species. A Galvanized one of these has a look of Galvenized Copper scales and spines, hence its extra name. They are known as the Galvanized Acid Seraphim.
Zirconium Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic poison. They are known as the Poison Metal Seraphim, as one thing Zirconium is known as the Poison Metal. (It is also known as the Galvanized Healing Metal, as it can do both, but for the sake of this, we mention the former as its main.)

The Chromatim
Tiamat, the Prismatic Sword, displayed her incredible power by creating 10 dragons of incredible strength and destruction. While later in history these powerful monsters become evil and cruel, tyrants to rest of the world the picture of a "bad dragon", they used to be merely powerful soldiers of her Prismatic-ness, and she used them to defeat enemies of her kind and the Creator, for while she lived in the Heavens. She made 10 kinds as well, 5 named after a color, making them destructive heralds of her prismatic spectrum, and 5 more who are wielders of her destructive elements in a more powerful form known as Infused. Here they are:
Red Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic fire. It breathes this to bring enemies to ash, and to destroy its opponents. They are known as the Chromatic Fire Seraphim, and use it for display of power and destruction demanding loyalty through intimidation and might.
Flame Seraphim

(I will now begin to shorten the descriptions and will later come back and add more).
White* Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic lightning. They are known as the Chromatic Lightning Seraphim.
Dragon Eel Seraphim

Drakon Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called, Infused Acid. They are known as the Infused Acid Seraphim.

*Note that in normal D&D these colors are switched for their assigned element, I reversed them to match other themes in Zionderia, as it made more sense for its setting. The personality and power level of them remains the same, merely the aesthetic color has been switched.
The Behemoth
In Zionderia, the word Behemoth refers to "dragons of the earth". This is due to the fact that Saridor is named after a gemstone, and he named all his creatures after gemstones as well. They also come to live subterranean lives under the crust of Zionderia's earth. They are less in number of species than all other save the Leviathan (which are detailed next). Saridor made 7 species, 5 his higher dragons that served to enact his will and govern their race, while the latter 2 were his more, animalistic and soldier like species. They all, like Saridor did, involve themselves wherever they can, trying to help those of all race, belief, intent, and life (or undeath). They continue his unhelpful work of fueling the war, growing the division, and believing all the while they are helping the world. Here they are:
(Please Note: I have switched around some of these colors to again, match my themes better in my world. The original damage type they were assigned if changed, will be listed in this kind of small text below it).
Topaz Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Depth Radiant. It breathes this to bring alight the darkness, trap it, and then personally destroy it, leaving light for all to see, so that all can be left better. They are known as the Radiant Gem Seraphim, destroyers of opposing darkness.
(Use to be Necrotic Damage)
(I will now begin to shorten the descriptions and will later come back and add more).
Sapphire Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Depth Thunder. They are known as the Thunder Gem Seraphim.
Crystal Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Depth Force. They are known as the Force Gem Seraphim.
(Used to Radiant)
Emerald Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Depth Psychic. They are known as the Psychic Gem Seraphim.
Amethyst Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Depth Necrotic. They are known as the Necrotic Gem Seraphim.
(Used to be Force)
The last to listed below do not use any special form of the elements, merely less conventional. These are known as Depth Seraphim, despite the fact they don't use Depth modified powers. The other Behmoth who do use Depth modified powers are called Gem Seraphim. This discrepancy and error is due to lazy scholars who never righted an error in hypothesis when investigating these creatures.
Deep Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that sleeps deep within the earth, nearly blind, and living amongst subterranean mushrooms and spores. They are the weakest of Behmoth, and are used as spies under the feet of prey, to spy with tremorsense on the layout, words, and force of their enemies. They are plentiful in population, even for Seraphim, but they are very week and mostly are used to weaken the enemy with their deadly magical spores.
Cave Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic lightning. Perhaps the most dangerous Behmoth, these Seraphim are powerful servants of the Gem Seraphim, and used as powerful warriors and killing machines to destroy the ranks of enemies. They are incredibly violent and aggressve, always hunger and ready to devour. Cave Seraphim use powers of subterranium darkness to obscure themselves and overtake their prey without them knowing what it is, or being able to see their attacker. They are a perplexing thing for the Gem Seraphim, who normally seek to aid all, and thus don't want these killers. However, they are to strong to get rid of, and that action would be harming the Cave Seraphim, the Gem say. So, the Gem Seraphim have reached a middle point that is... unfortunate. The Gem Seraphim now promise warlords they help to destroy an enemy, of said warlord, and they try to send a counterforce from the defender, so that the Cave Seraphim fight one another, and then the Gem Seraphim leave what follows to happen, which is the winner of the fight goes on to destroy its target.
The Leviathan
Seraphim of Chaos, servants of the Riptide Edge, Zeboim's Seraphim are masters of destroying for the sake of discord. He has made only 2 spieces, but they are great and powerful, and go out through the spiritual plane versions of Aquetiol and Iscacar, the realms that hold the 7 seas of Zionderia, coming to destroy spirit ships and terrorize the spirit land dwellers. They serve to as scouts of Tiamat, wanting only to further her destruction, and of cource...Chaos. Here are the 2 species:
Sea Serpent Seraphim
Many have spoken tales of Sea Serpents and similar looking sea monsters. However. a true nightmare would be to meet a Sea Serpent Seraphim. They are long serpent shaped dragons with no wings, but need them not as they glide through water as if it was air. They are wielders of a slimy, icy cold breathe that freezes a target in place, and slowly sends parasitic worms into them that target that will eventually turn his blood and body, to ice. They are known as the Infused Ice Seraphim, completions of Tiamat's work.
Dragon Turtle Seraphim
Like a floating island of gigantic proportion, with a maw that snaps any ship, any glacier, and land mass, in two, the great Dragon Turtle Seraphim patrols the spiritual plane's seas of Zionderia. While some have said they are protectors, anyone who meets it will not be what it protects. Breathing scalding hot water and summoning lightning storms, they rock the seas that one may try to traverse, and they ram and smash all that they find. They are known as the Infused Water Seraphim, another completion of Tiamat's work.
The Nafhash
These are the numerous Seraphim of Aureona, supposedly elevated and and transcendent even amongst the spiritual Seraphim. They fly in the spirit planes skyies and watch all the war of their kind, only favoring themselves and glad to be above them all. There are 10 species for the Nafhash as well, 5 the weak servants and Eulogy Seraphim of the greater 5, who are known as Astral Seraphim, and they are as rare as they are incredibly powerful. However, a couple of the 5 Eulogy Seraphim comes in more than one kind, and thus some say there are up to 12 species. But this is not true, as all the kinds of the ONE species are interchangeable, can intermarry and create either or, and can in rare cases turn into one another. So, the more professional opinion states there are 10 species. Here they are:
(All of these have a minimally short description and I will later come back and add more).
Sun Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic radiant. They are known as the Radiant Eulogy Seraphim.
Sun Star Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Astral Radiant. They are known as the Astral Radiant Seraphim. They are born when a Sun and Moon Seraphim (the latter is described further below), mate and bear child. This can also bear a Moon Star Seraphim (which is also described below).
Cloud Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic Thunder. They are known as the Thunder Eulogy Seraphim.
Wind Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic Thunder. They are known as the Thunder Eulogy Seraphim. The only difference between it and the Cloud Seraphim is in some of its physical abilities.
Storm Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Astral Thunder. They are known as the Astral Thunder Seraphim. They are born when a Wind and Cloud Seraphim mate and bear child.
Moon Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic Thunder. They are known as the Thunder Eulogy Seraphim.
Moon Star Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Astral Force. They are known as the Astral Force Seraphim. They are born when a Moon and Sun Seraphim, mate and bear child. This can also bear a Sun Star Seraphim.
Eclipse Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of both Astral Radiant, and Astral Force. They are known as the Astral Radiant Force Seraphim. When a Sun and Moon Seraphim mate and bear child, it usually results in a Star Seraphim, being either Sun Star or Moon Star. However, in a super rare case, an Eclipse Seraphim is born. In fact this is so rare, it only happened once, and only on Eclipse Seraphim has ever existed.
Dream Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic Psychic. They are known as the Psychic Eulogy Seraphim.
Vision Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Astral Psychic. They are known as the Astral Psychic Seraphim.
Nightmare Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic Necrotic. They are known as the Necrotic Eulogy Seraphim.
Void Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Astral Necrotic. They are known as the Astral Necrotic Seraphim.
Again:To get an idea of what each is like and capable of, wait till I share the descriptions of their Dragons, who are practically weaker physical copies.
The Seraphim live in the spiritual plane of Zionderia, and work often behind the scenes of Dragon life, serving as near gods to Dragons and lesser beings, with the great Arch-Seraphim being the "gods of the Seraphim, and of course the Creator being the God overall. This staircase of power leads to interesting individual views form one Dragon and lesser draconic creature to the next. Many other races do not know of the Seraphim, or belive them myth, as they are so powerful and rarely seen. They are known in legends as mythically monstrous, spiritual Dragons that watch and empower their kind to fight, and in rare cases become physical when the need is great.
I have made a huge homebrew setting that I am still working on putting here in DDB. Please give me feedback, I want to know all of what I am doing wrong, and what I am doing right. The thread is a huge work in progress, so everything in it from content to layout is subject to change. Please check this forum:Welcome to Zionderia
Also I have a fun thread that explores an idea about dreams based off the movie Inception. I still need to add the link but stay tuned.

Added some more depth to Platyboss's lore on Radioemmiters:
The Chromatic and Metallic dragons were at war from the beginning of time, but there were always so few of them from the battles. They needed more soldiers, and they needed them quickly. Both sides feared the other was building a huge battalion of all their dragons to attack, so they each studied deep magic. A mysterious wizard known as Enoch helped them both to create a new set of dragons: Gem and Ferrous. The wizard used strange, ancient magic that the dragons had never seen.
With thousands of more dragons, the war continued and the bloodlust was greater than ever. Hundreds of dragons fell on the battlefield, and as an ancient recounting says, “The fields were drowned in dragon blood.”
A Ferrous dragon, fallen in combat, used ancient draconic magic to form a prophecy in their last dying breaths. It stated that if a chromatic and ferrous dragon, both at war with each other, unified then a new, peacekeeping dragon would be formed from that unity.
After hundreds of years of the war, two generals, a Chromium Ferrous dragon and a Red chromatic dragon, abandoned the war and decided to have peace and unity. Then, the fallen Ferrous dragon’s prophecy was fulfilled as a new type was formed. This type is known as
Radioemmiter dragons. They soon discussed with the other dragons to create peace, and peace was kept. But, Enoch hated this. He needed their fallen souls to create a spell that would give him unimaginable power. So, he cursed several of the Radioemmiter dragons to be chaotic and evil, causing the dragons to erupt in war again. But, Enoch’s plan did not last long, as a group of dragons discovered his true intentions, and slayed him.
But, Enoch’s curse still lives on and the dragons still battle endlessly, from the start of time till its end.

The Loom(my first thread)
Yo what's up guys, I've had an epic thread idea and so have written up some lore on it, and would like some feedback to see if anybody would play in it or can improve the concept. I also shared this to Onions Are Like Worms since that's the biggest discussion thread, so hopefully I can get some responses there, but since this idea is pretty much all lore, so I think it would be good to share here and see what people think of it!
You Are What You Eat
In this world, life and society is barely blossoming, the land still young and fresh as the people upon the earth discover the powers that nature provides. Here, when a creature eats another living thing, for a short amount of time, they gain some traits and powers from that thing, such as gills from a fish, the longevity of a tree or the scales from a lizard. These powers only last for about a day though, before they taper off as the digestive system dissolves the ability, so most diets are strict and structured, built to get the most valuable abilities out of every meal, a constant experiment of testing new foods to try and discover their affects and grow in strength. Some small like-minded enclaves choose a food and stick to it, allowing the powers of their chosen dish to become like second nature, whilst other nomadic groups are constantly wandering, shifting their strengths as they adapt to the food of new lands and cultures, in a constant chronicled journey of discovery. However, recently, a darkness has spread across the tranquil balance of the world, as twisted warriors discover the strengths of cannibalism; through the consumption of another person, you gain all the powers they had, and so some dark warlords keep men alive to feed on the finest and most exotic foods, only to chop off a finger, toe or eyeball at the end of each day to gain the powers whilst only consuming a morsel.
So, in this fantasy early-medieval thread, you can play as one of the three factions: A dedicated tribe to a specific food, gaining stronger powers from the one dish they rely on (such as a Cow Tribe, who are like minotaurs, or a Fish Tribe, who are like fishmen from One Piece), a nomadic traveller who is constantly adapting their powers and dabbling in what the world has to offer, or an evil cannibal-conqueror, powered by the flesh of the captives they claim.
Please tell me what y'all think!

Probably 'You Are What You Eat' unless I come up with something better, though if I do make it into a thread that might end up being a while since I'm still not 100% sure about if it would do well as a thread, it's an awesome concept but I think I could capture that better in a story rather than a thead y'know?

Yo, I'm Himy (He/him) not as active as I use to be, but I'm here from time to time. I don't got much else to say.
"From the stars of the inner sea, from the tower of insight, from the four corners of paradise, let them know; their story is filled with blessings. Only those free of sin may pass... Garden of Avalon!”
”The elements coalesce, amalgamate, and bring forth the star that interweaves all creation. Bow down with death! Enuma Elish!”
Should prolly put this here too
In this word, a kind of creature called Colossi (Sing: Colossus) that are absolutely massive. The average Colossus reaches above commercial airplane flight heights. They are also pretty much invulnerable, at least by normal standards. No man made weapon has ever managed to pierce the hide of a Colossus, and are generally presumed to have an infinite lifespan. All in all, they’re borderline immortal. Colossi aren’t often seen, as they are incredibly solitary creatures, rarely seen awake (they sleep for extended periods of time, around 100-150 years, staying awake for a comparable amount of time). They are also incredibly magical, some scholars believing that they were the progenitors of magic, teaching them to the first wizards. Why is this important? Because people wanted to harness that power. They couldn’t tame a Colossi, but they could try to copy its genetic makeup. And it worked. Various kingdoms and nations managed to create Pseudo Colossi, technically called Biologically Engineered Gigantic Organisms or BEGO for short. Nobody calls them that anymore, mostly because they’re all dead. Why you may ask? Because everyone saw that everyone else also had these superpowered living super weapons and all did the natural thing. Started a world war. Fun fact, there was actually a evolutionary reason Colossi are so durable and peaceful. It’s because their entire bodies are magical, and when then die, some kind of reaction happens, causing them to poison the environment so much that staying there for more than 30 minutes results in instant death. In slightly better news, it also reshape the land around it for some reason, warping it greatly. This time, the corpses sunk underground and the surrounding earth rose high in the air, above the very clouds. Now, over a thousand years after that horrible war, everybody has adapted to high altitude life, creating the sky ships as a way of travel. Sadly, the world is greatly split apart, causing all these countries in the sky to become isolated. Some people don’t like that, making it their life’s mission to visit as much of this fractured world as they can, possibly even mapping out the entire thing

I made some lore for Magenta Dragons that I think is neat.
a lich has all the time in the world. and during this time, they get up to some truly heinous arcane experiments. due to an experiment on red dragon eggs, magenta dragons were created. magenta dragons are visually distinct from other dragons, with five horns ringing their face, permeable spots on their back, and a thagomizer on their tail, but their breath weapon is truly fascinating. the magenta dragon breathes a white fog, and anything fully enveloped in the fog, disappears. (for 1 round. there's a dex save to). when they need to, they can expell their fog from the permeable spots on their back, dissapeering themselves. liches often use magenta dragons as guards, because a magenta dragons cannot resist a command by a lich. in the wild, they enjoy high elevations and hoarding magical creatures

Don't want this to die, so...
Character lore! (I actually used XGtE for some of this)
Thibald was an ordinary man. And then, he fell in love. Her name was Sofia. He didn't know her real name, but that was the name she went by. He also didn't know that it wasn't her real name. Anyways, as I was saying, he fell in love. His family did not approve, but he did not care. So they disowned him. He was not deterred, but he believed he needed to make more money to impress Sofia. So he became a Charlatan, swindling people out of their money. Eventually, he made enough money to impress Sofia. However, he didn't want the guilt of being a charlatan on his mind, so he became a street magician. He aimed to be the greatest street magician of all time, as he slowly made more and more money. Eventually, he felt that he could impres Sofia AND do it honestly. He returned to her to a massive surprise! She looked completely different from before. Turns out, she was a Silver Dragon in disguise; however, he still loved her, and promised to return to her with all sorts of gifts and presents. She didn't mind his disownment, and she didn't mind how "little" money he made. She loved him back. And so he started his adventuring journey.
Along the way, he found a mimic colony, completely and utterly destroyed. At first, it appeared as though there were no survivors. However, as he searched through the wreckage, he found a half-dead mimic, shielding a juvenile mimic from the harsh outside. He adopted this mimic, promising the mimic in her last dying breaths to take care of it. The mimic, which he called Serenade, soon revealed himself to be a skilled shapeshifter and Dragonchess player. He would turn into the board and play Thibald, beating him nearly every time. He often would help Thibald by turning into weapons, which had his characteristically purplish-pinkish hue, and an eye in the middle. He loved Thibald like family, although he new of the fate of his actual family.
(This next part has campaign specific stuff)
Thibald and his juvenile mimic had ventured across the land, and eventually were called upon by a secret organization, which aimed to prevent corruption. They worked together, ordered by this secret organization, to infiltrate expensive galas and corrupt palaces, robbing them of their supplies. All for a good cause, of course.

This is random, but I want it in here (also, I know the guy who made the neptunium dragon because he's me, but on a different account): The great war between the angels and the demons could not exist for long. Otherwise, they both would be destroyed. In one particularly strong conflict, a being was born: Vrynin, the Eternal Silence. This being was the balance between both life and death, dealing both radiant and necrotic damage on every hit. Vrynin still lives, taking down those who dare to challenge the gods of Xylnyrin.
Dragons, kobolds, and draconic things everywhere!
Yeah, I definitely don't want this to die. Any lore ideas, folks?
Especially since this was made on a date that is very dear to me.

It shall not die! I have yet to post something but I will work on it now, I have so much I wish to share, but it is taking me forever to collect it all in a comprehensive way. Okay, I shall right after this post, get ready to share...perhaps the dragon Lore in my world. I saw some lore of dragons listed earlier and I have been thinking about them a lot lately, so I think I will work on that!

Dragons In Zionderia*
*this is the name of my world that I am working on, almost all my content is linked to this world and story
The Arch-Seraphim
When the first semblance of existence was made, it began with the creation the Heavens, and the One Creator made them as a realm for his later creations to conceive of in their finite minds, his infinite placement in a place. The Creator then populated these Heavens with many Celestial creatures, such as the Cherubim and Arch-Angels, lesser Angels and Principalities, and every known Celestial, and others the world has never known. The Creator made 2 great and powerful creatures, and they resembled the Creator's strength and cunning, His might and magnificence. Their true names in Celestial are unknown to all save the Celestials, and it said pronouncing them is to cast a great spell of magic upon the speaker, turning him into a...well I have yet to get there. So, their names are more widely spoken to be, in the Common tongue as Bahamut the Platinum Shield, and Tiamat the Prismatic Sword.
They were a couple, husband and wife, united as one, and the first of a great race of Celestial beings known now in Zionderia as Seraphim. They had 3 children, and that whole family of 5 were known as the Arch-Seraphim, the greatest of all dragon species. I say "Dragon" now, and you must be wondering, where is the connection? Well we will get to that as I continue forward but for now, let me sate the question with this question I shall answer now, "What do Seraphim look like?"
Seraphim bear a striking resemble to Dragons (though technically Dragons are the ones who bear a resemblance to Seraphim, as you will later see), in that they have a reptilian body, like an alligator, a long serpent neck to connect the head, horns and spines line the crowns of their heads and their backs. They have 2 giant, bat like wings, each at least 3/4 of the size of the rest of the Seraphim's body. I will not forget to mention the long tail, many of which are thicker than the largest tree stump. Seraphim were blessed with their very breath being the purest forms of different kinds of energy, the elemental powers that would be used by the Creators family of Elohim to created the Zionderia World later on. Fire is the most acknowledged of these elemental energies amongst Dragon kind, as it belongs to the some of the most powerful Seraphim and, later, Dragons.
Now, back to the family of the first Seraphim that are the Arch-Seraphim. They are, as I have mentioned, Bahamut, Tiamat, and their 3 children, who are: Saridor the Ruby, as eldest; Zeboim the Riptide, as second; and Aureona the Anthem, as last. Before I go any farther, let me detail each here a little more fully.
Bahamut, The Platinum Shield
Bahamut was not called The Platinum Shield for nothing, for, in Zionderia (which is the world that came well after these beings, but it is where the language of Common was formed, and thus the names of these beings were given to them in the future when the word Platinum for example was created) Platinum represents Justice, and Mercy, which are the greatest attributes of this great servant of the Creator. Platinum means this as being a metal that is unbeatable and strong, like Justice, and yet, can be shaped, and has enough give and "stretch", its Mercy, that it isn't brittle and can't be broken. The idea of Mercy can clearly be seen here as not an opposing force to Justice, or vice versa. Rather, it is a strengthener, a fortifier, a completion to the work of Justice making it more effective, and more true. This is to say, Bahamut is a creature that advocates for the Justice a creature deserves being given to them, but, having Mercy as the tool that makes this Justice more effective and righteous. As Bahamut quoted from his Creator who gave him his morals:
This is what Bahamut seeks to do, and teaches all his creations and followers to be like, to show Justice, as true Justice is through the practice of Mercy.
Tiamat, The Prismatic Sword
She is the mother of passionate imagination and zeal, the mother of power through a strong arm, and the Warlady of the Seraphim. Her title the Prismatic Sword springs from her ability to shine with all colors, with powers, with all that is in the world to fuel her desire to fight for a better world for her family. She is strong, and her well-known form of a multiheaded Dragon has intimidated all that would oppose her. Unfortunately, as we will see later on, she fell to lies and deceit, by the Shadow Seraphim I have failed to mention, and she used her power to try and secure for her people dominion and power. As far as what can be said for more on Tiamat, she has a history that is better explained over future, as she is a being of change, or riot and dance, of all energy and zeal that causes her rise and fall throughout the past and future of Zionderia. While her husband has remained still and strong, though not without slight crumpling and crippling, Tiamat has absorbed these changes willingly, and some, too much. She still has yet to come out of these waves of turmoil that grow the soul, choosing to rise above them stronger from them, rather than succumbing to their chaotic force.
Saridor, the Ruby Heart
A Ruby. Its red, a color that, was the favorite of Tiamat his mother, and an image of fire, the symbol of dragon fire and power. It is a Jewel, a spawn of valuable treasure, like that of Platinum, the symbol of Bahamut. He is a son of two forces, one constant, the other always changing. He loved both his parents greatly, and favored not a one, no matter what they spoke, no matter what they acted, no matter how they lived. He judged no one, and let his whole family clash around him, the two opposing forces, while he tried to hold them all together. He was neutral, and he was the one who supported all ways of life, never really helping anyone, trying to appease all who were around him. His love was not cold, it was not hot, and never helped anything. It sat around, growing both forces to fight against one another, all while under the assumption that he was just, helping both of them.s His neutrality, his lukewarm love that was ineffective, it all lead to his inability to hold his family together, and to hold himself together. He strained himself, to scared to step outside anyone's comfort, to afraid to make a disturbance, his "love" was wasted, and he broke. This happened later after the world of Zionderia was formed, but 5 pieces he shattered into, all scattering into the earth Zionderia into Gadol Cavernus, and taking the form of 5 powerful Gem Greatwyrms, that continue Saridor's sorrowful work, but now not connected, they fight each other from the sides each piece has chosen. Saridor loves, his ruby heart aching for love and peace. He even wanted it so bad, some say, he took it upon himself to keep his family together, to make it his responsibility. But did he? For all he did, was say to the wrong and right, and to the right and wrong, "You are good, you right, and I support you." He did the minimal, he did the least he could. As I said, to scared to cause anyone to dislike him, to scared to pick a side and help make a change. He didn't even pick his own side, where allies could meet under one banner, where refugees tired of the war in the family could come and find rest and a new way. He didn't to make peace, he fueled the war. He paid with his own body, for the armies of both sides, giving both more men, giving both more tools to fight the other with, all while saying "I am loving them all." It is sad, for we feel his heart, we feel his want, we share his hopes. But his ways, or rather the lack of thereof, they fought against him, and he never learned, until...like all un-eternal hearts...it shattered.
Zeboim, The Riptide Edge
Said in jest as a youth to be, "Mommy's Boy", Zeboim always has favored his mother. Specifically, he has always loved Tiamat's passion for change, and even her capacity for chaos. It is difficult to know what to say about him, other than how he sided with his mother when the war in their family began, and he used his ability to drag down opponents from behind and underneath aid her. He lent his Edge to Tiamt's Sword, supporting and fighting for her by going under cover, behind enemy lines, and unleashing his secretive chaos, and letting the riptide drag them down, and away. He is a trouble maker, a destructive force, and his few servants are powerful, and dangerous.
Aureona, The Anthem Wings
As the youngest and having come when everyone had taken their stances, she saw all her family was doing. She saw what was going on, and what he family had become. It was divided, torn, and lawless. She had much of her father's strong Justice, but without its Mercy, it was really just judgment. Aureona labeled her family as a lost cause, she like her oldest brother, took no sides. But she unlike Saridor, did not care to stick around and help. She saw how little her oldest brother was accomplishing with his "help and love", and decided she would not take part. So instead, she flew high, high above her parents, high above her siblings, and high above all that she knew and sang a song in the cloud lands of Oculis in Zionderia, and she swore in that song, to live devoid and uninterested in her families war. Instead, she would let it play, let it destory themselves, and whichever side won, she would rule herself and teach them how to have true peace. She was lofty, prideful, and cold to those who she knew. Aureona's Anthem sings of her independance, of how she needs no one but herself. For she believes she has the greatest wisdom, the greatest eyes to see above all the chaos and war, the righteousness and mercy, above all the confusion of violence and "peace". She has flown above it all, and tells herself, she, Aureona, has transcended. Little does she know, by neglecting what was hers to help keep, by letting it be destroyed by division, the evil that had started it, the Shadow Seraphim, would come to attack her next. And she...she would be all... alone.
The Creation of the Seraphim and the Dragons
These 5 Arch-Seraphim, went on to create their special kinds of creatures that were like themselves. This began with the creation of the Seraphim, who went on to make Dragons one their exact species. To show what I mean, let me put it this way. The only difference between Seraphim and Dragons in Zionderia lies that Dragons are mortal and physical, and less powerful, while Seraphim, who became mortal, are spirits, and extremely powerful (all greater that ChR. 30).
To get an idea of what each Seraphim is like and capable of, wait till I share the descriptions of their Dragons, who are practically weaker physical copies of these.
The Metallnim
Bahamut created these Seraphim. The are all named after different kinds of Metals, which, in Zionderian culture and understanding, is indicative of some link to the Earth element ways, that Grodnel the 2nd son of the Creator had power over and used to help form the world of Zionderia*. This would be a correct assumption. Despite Seraphim and Dragons being the emblem and symbols of the Fire element, the Metallnim take a role in the Fire element culture that relate to the Earth element culture held mostly by the Dwarves, the Wielders of Earth Chosen. This role is that of protection, and the symbol of a metal Shield helps emblem-ize this, and if you will remember, Bahamut is the Platinum Shield. Trying not to dwell here on this related but yet unstated fact, let it be surmised that the 10 species that were made, all have been named after different kinds of Metals, each further related to another element and power. All Metallnim take a role of protecting and helping the weak, while also providing order through Justice and Mercy as Bahamut would will them. Here they are:
*To learn more of this, I will add a link to another lore skit I made elsewhere concerning the Language of the Dwarves. The Lore link will be HERE. This has a brief mention of Grodnel, his family, his connection to the Earth, and the roles that metals play. Now, also will make a whole new skit that is more central that gives this and other lore posts more complete understanding.
Brass Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic fire. It breathes this to bring warmth to the cold hearted, and bring the fire of a torch to light the way for the lost. They are known as the Fire Metal Seraphim, as Brass is the Fire Metal.
Gold Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called, Galvanized Fire. This has the power to purify a battle field, weakening the evil and strengthening the righteous. This way the righteous can overcome the evil, and be empowered to protect the poor and helpless. They are known as the Galvanized Fire Seraphim, as Gold is the metal of Galvanized Fire Metal.
(I will now begin to shorten the descriptions and might later come back and add more).

Galvanized Drakon
Also known as the Galvanized Copper Seraphim. A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called, Galvanized Acid. If one needs to know what a Drakon is, that will be simply said to be a creature capable of using acid in more that its breathe, but also in its eyes. It is a unique dragon species. A Galvanized one of these has a look of Galvenized Copper scales and spines, hence its extra name. They are known as the Galvanized Acid Seraphim.
Zirconium Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic poison. They are known as the Poison Metal Seraphim, as one thing Zirconium is known as the Poison Metal. (It is also known as the Galvanized Healing Metal, as it can do both, but for the sake of this, we mention the former as its main.)
Mercury Seraphim

Nickle Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic ice and cold. They are known as the Ice Metal Seraphim, as Nickle is the Ice Metal.
Silver Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called, Galvanized Ice. They are known as the Galvanized Ice Seraphim, as Silver is the Metal of Galvanized Ice.
The Chromatim
Tiamat, the Prismatic Sword, displayed her incredible power by creating 10 dragons of incredible strength and destruction. While later in history these powerful monsters become evil and cruel, tyrants to rest of the world the picture of a "bad dragon", they used to be merely powerful soldiers of her Prismatic-ness, and she used them to defeat enemies of her kind and the Creator, for while she lived in the Heavens. She made 10 kinds as well, 5 named after a color, making them destructive heralds of her prismatic spectrum, and 5 more who are wielders of her destructive elements in a more powerful form known as Infused. Here they are:
Red Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic fire. It breathes this to bring enemies to ash, and to destroy its opponents. They are known as the Chromatic Fire Seraphim, and use it for display of power and destruction demanding loyalty through intimidation and might.
Flame Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called, Infused Fire. This fire has the power to unnaturally "stick" to its prey and cause them to burn well after the fire was released. They are known as the Infused Fire Seraphim.
(I will now begin to shorten the descriptions and will later come back and add more).
White* Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic lightning. They are known as the Chromatic Lightning Seraphim.

A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called, Infused Acid. They are known as the Infused Acid Seraphim.

*Note that in normal D&D these colors are switched for their assigned element, I reversed them to match other themes in Zionderia, as it made more sense for its setting. The personality and power level of them remains the same, merely the aesthetic color has been switched.
The Behemoth
In Zionderia, the word Behemoth refers to "dragons of the earth". This is due to the fact that Saridor is named after a gemstone, and he named all his creatures after gemstones as well. They also come to live subterranean lives under the crust of Zionderia's earth. They are less in number of species than all other save the Leviathan (which are detailed next). Saridor made 7 species, 5 his higher dragons that served to enact his will and govern their race, while the latter 2 were his more, animalistic and soldier like species. They all, like Saridor did, involve themselves wherever they can, trying to help those of all race, belief, intent, and life (or undeath). They continue his unhelpful work of fueling the war, growing the division, and believing all the while they are helping the world. Here they are:
(Please Note: I have switched around some of these colors to again, match my themes better in my world. The original damage type they were assigned if changed, will be listed in this kind of small text below it).
Topaz Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Depth Radiant. It breathes this to bring alight the darkness, trap it, and then personally destroy it, leaving light for all to see, so that all can be left better. They are known as the Radiant Gem Seraphim, destroyers of opposing darkness.
(Use to be Necrotic Damage)
(I will now begin to shorten the descriptions and will later come back and add more).
Sapphire Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Depth Thunder. They are known as the Thunder Gem Seraphim.
Crystal Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Depth Force. They are known as the Force Gem Seraphim.
(Used to Radiant)
Emerald Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Depth Psychic. They are known as the Psychic Gem Seraphim.
Amethyst Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Depth Necrotic. They are known as the Necrotic Gem Seraphim.
(Used to be Force)
The last to listed below do not use any special form of the elements, merely less conventional. These are known as Depth Seraphim, despite the fact they don't use Depth modified powers. The other Behmoth who do use Depth modified powers are called Gem Seraphim. This discrepancy and error is due to lazy scholars who never righted an error in hypothesis when investigating these creatures.
Deep Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that sleeps deep within the earth, nearly blind, and living amongst subterranean mushrooms and spores. They are the weakest of Behmoth, and are used as spies under the feet of prey, to spy with tremorsense on the layout, words, and force of their enemies. They are plentiful in population, even for Seraphim, but they are very week and mostly are used to weaken the enemy with their deadly magical spores.
Cave Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic lightning. Perhaps the most dangerous Behmoth, these Seraphim are powerful servants of the Gem Seraphim, and used as powerful warriors and killing machines to destroy the ranks of enemies. They are incredibly violent and aggressve, always hunger and ready to devour. Cave Seraphim use powers of subterranium darkness to obscure themselves and overtake their prey without them knowing what it is, or being able to see their attacker. They are a perplexing thing for the Gem Seraphim, who normally seek to aid all, and thus don't want these killers. However, they are to strong to get rid of, and that action would be harming the Cave Seraphim, the Gem say. So, the Gem Seraphim have reached a middle point that is... unfortunate. The Gem Seraphim now promise warlords they help to destroy an enemy, of said warlord, and they try to send a counterforce from the defender, so that the Cave Seraphim fight one another, and then the Gem Seraphim leave what follows to happen, which is the winner of the fight goes on to destroy its target.
The Leviathan
Seraphim of Chaos, servants of the Riptide Edge, Zeboim's Seraphim are masters of destroying for the sake of discord. He has made only 2 spieces, but they are great and powerful, and go out through the spiritual plane versions of Aquetiol and Iscacar, the realms that hold the 7 seas of Zionderia, coming to destroy spirit ships and terrorize the spirit land dwellers. They serve to as scouts of Tiamat, wanting only to further her destruction, and of cource...Chaos. Here are the 2 species:
Sea Serpent Seraphim
Many have spoken tales of Sea Serpents and similar looking sea monsters. However. a true nightmare would be to meet a Sea Serpent Seraphim. They are long serpent shaped dragons with no wings, but need them not as they glide through water as if it was air. They are wielders of a slimy, icy cold breathe that freezes a target in place, and slowly sends parasitic worms into them that target that will eventually turn his blood and body, to ice. They are known as the Infused Ice Seraphim, completions of Tiamat's work.
Dragon Turtle Seraphim
Like a floating island of gigantic proportion, with a maw that snaps any ship, any glacier, and land mass, in two, the great Dragon Turtle Seraphim patrols the spiritual plane's seas of Zionderia. While some have said they are protectors, anyone who meets it will not be what it protects. Breathing scalding hot water and summoning lightning storms, they rock the seas that one may try to traverse, and they ram and smash all that they find. They are known as the Infused Water Seraphim, another completion of Tiamat's work.
The Nafhash
These are the numerous Seraphim of Aureona, supposedly elevated and and transcendent even amongst the spiritual Seraphim. They fly in the spirit planes skyies and watch all the war of their kind, only favoring themselves and glad to be above them all. There are 10 species for the Nafhash as well, 5 the weak servants and Eulogy Seraphim of the greater 5, who are known as Astral Seraphim, and they are as rare as they are incredibly powerful. However, a couple of the 5 Eulogy Seraphim comes in more than one kind, and thus some say there are up to 12 species. But this is not true, as all the kinds of the ONE species are interchangeable, can intermarry and create either or, and can in rare cases turn into one another. So, the more professional opinion states there are 10 species. Here they are:
(All of these have a minimally short description and I will later come back and add more).
Sun Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic radiant. They are known as the Radiant Eulogy Seraphim.
Sun Star Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Astral Radiant. They are known as the Astral Radiant Seraphim. They are born when a Sun and Moon Seraphim (the latter is described further below), mate and bear child. This can also bear a Moon Star Seraphim (which is also described below).
Cloud Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic Thunder. They are known as the Thunder Eulogy Seraphim.
Wind Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic Thunder. They are known as the Thunder Eulogy Seraphim. The only difference between it and the Cloud Seraphim is in some of its physical abilities.
Storm Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Astral Thunder. They are known as the Astral Thunder Seraphim. They are born when a Wind and Cloud Seraphim mate and bear child.
Moon Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic Thunder. They are known as the Thunder Eulogy Seraphim.
Moon Star Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Astral Force. They are known as the Astral Force Seraphim. They are born when a Moon and Sun Seraphim, mate and bear child. This can also bear a Sun Star Seraphim.
Eclipse Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of both Astral Radiant, and Astral Force. They are known as the Astral Radiant Force Seraphim. When a Sun and Moon Seraphim mate and bear child, it usually results in a Star Seraphim, being either Sun Star or Moon Star. However, in a super rare case, an Eclipse Seraphim is born. In fact this is so rare, it only happened once, and only on Eclipse Seraphim has ever existed.
Dream Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic Psychic. They are known as the Psychic Eulogy Seraphim.
Vision Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Astral Psychic. They are known as the Astral Psychic Seraphim.
Nightmare Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of basic Necrotic. They are known as the Necrotic Eulogy Seraphim.
Void Seraphim
A powerful spiritual dragon that holds the power of what is called Astral Necrotic. They are known as the Astral Necrotic Seraphim.
Again: To get an idea of what each is like and capable of, wait till I share the descriptions of their Dragons, who are practically weaker physical copies.
The Seraphim live in the spiritual plane of Zionderia, and work often behind the scenes of Dragon life, serving as near gods to Dragons and lesser beings, with the great Arch-Seraphim being the "gods of the Seraphim, and of course the Creator being the God overall. This staircase of power leads to interesting individual views form one Dragon and lesser draconic creature to the next. Many other races do not know of the Seraphim, or belive them myth, as they are so powerful and rarely seen. They are known in legends as mythically monstrous, spiritual Dragons that watch and empower their kind to fight, and in rare cases become physical when the need is great.
Now,
I have made a huge homebrew setting that I am still working on putting here in DDB. Please give me feedback, I want to know all of what I am doing wrong, and what I am doing right. The thread is a huge work in progress, so everything in it from content to layout is subject to change. Please check this forum: Welcome to Zionderia
Also I have a fun thread that explores an idea about dreams based off the movie Inception. I still need to add the link but stay tuned.
