Azhdeera, Mother of Dragons


Azhdeera is the great draconic matriarch, said to have spawned the first true dragons from her breath and blood. She is older than kingdoms, younger than stars, a being of immense power who exists outside of mortal morality. Unlike the dragon gods who vie for alignment and control, Azhdeera maintains a terrible neutrality, preserving the balance between creation and destruction, chromatic and metallic, fire and storm.

The myths say she was born of Bhamut and an exiled Vyrum queen. At her birth, her cry cracked the sky and hatched the first clutch of eggs that would become dragonkind. Though not worshiped in the usual sense, she is revered by dragons of all kinds, who see her as the ancestral force from which they all descend. Some even claim that the various dragon types reflect facets of her many moods and seasons.

Azhdeera is rarely seen, but when she is, she appears as a titanic, serpentine dragon with no single defined color—her scales shift across chromatic and metallic hues. Her wings ripple like heat over a desert, and her eyes hold the weight of epochs.
