Kantri (Dragons)

The Kantri are an ancient and noble race, known to the Gedri, or humans, a dragons.

Origin
Like all the races, the creation of the Kantri is unknown. When the choice was given to all races to choose to serve either Order of Chaos, the Kantri chose Order, and they are the only race to do so. This made them the blood-enemies of the Raksasha, the demons.

The Kantri once lived in harmony with the Gedri, but when the Demon Lord rose to power and was defeated, they found they could no longer stand to be near them, and so exiled themselves to a small island.

Racial Overview
The Kantri are massive creatures, able to easily hold a Gedri in their hands, and are covered in scales. They walk on four legs and have a large tail, as well as bat-like wings. Their faces have a solid "mask" that makes them hard to read, but rather than expressions they use Attitudes to display what they feel, which are based on their stance as well as wing and neck position.

The Kantri are metal colored, ranging from copper to dark bronze, but one of them was born silver. This silver dragon was known as Akhor, and became their king at a young age because of his wisdom and the never before hear of silver scales. Kantri can also be recognized by their soulgem, a large jewel on their forehead that becomes visible several months after birth and which always matches their eyes. This soulgem is what allows them to communicate to others of their kind in what humans call Truespeach.

Dragons are capable of breathing fire, a fire that is one of the few ways of cleansing Raksha-taint.

Contrary to usual myth, Kantri do not lay eggs, but give birth to live young. While in labor, a Kantri mother is incapable of Truespeach, or normal speach, but can still recieve Truespeach.
