Dragons are the most powerful of all the races of Dragon's Gate Reborn. They represent the apex of power within the game's racial hierarchy, growing through distinct life stages from young Draco to the ancient and mighty Imperial dragon.
Unlike most other races, dragons operate outside the standard game structure. They have no designated class system and do not worship the mortal pantheon of gods.

All dragons born since the Great Change begin as dracos and progress through four distinct stages. Early stages can be weaker than the average adventurer; later stages grow dramatically in size, resilience, and magickal power.
Each new stage will eventually unlock additional spells. The exact spell lists will be added as they are finalized through development and testing.
Roughly human-sized and human-shaped, a draco can easily be mistaken for a human at first glance. This is a dragon's youngest and most vulnerable stage.
A dragon reaches this stage by surviving an intense and painful transition. The resulting drake is more draconic, but remains humanoid and can fly.
A fully grown adult with four legs, wings, a long tail and neck, and powerful jaws. This is the classic dragon of legend—and often the most dangerous being in the area.
At this stage, dragons become tempting targets for would-be hunters. Their bodies are used in many alchemical and martial pursuits, from potions and draughts to armor and weapons. Their essence is potent enough for use in rituals and other alchemical preparations.
By this stage, most dragons have found their place in the world and their communities. Many begin searching for a lair and spending less time in cities.
An ancient, fully realized dragon. Imperials are the largest and strongest dragons in Aradath, and the rarest form most people will ever encounter.
An Imperial's essence is at its most potent, making these ancient dragons extraordinarily valuable—and extraordinarily dangerous—targets for alchemists and hunters. Few who pursue one succeed.
No one can say with certainty what triggered the first bond. The surviving histories agree, however, that dragons rely on Secian healing to survive the painful staging process safely.
Attempting to stage without a bondmate can mean permanent death or the loss of sanity. Even with a bond, the transformation can endanger both dragon and Secian.
When a young draco chooses a Secian partner, both place their lives in the other's hands. A Secian's empathic nature allows them to heal—and feel—the pain and distress of the dragon's physical transformation.
Staging seals the pair as bondmates for life, and every later stage draws them closer. The bond transcends ordinary friendship or marriage: each becomes part of the other. This history gives dragons and Secians a natural affinity and a deep responsibility to care for one another.
