The World of Aeryth
Aeryth is a land where the skies rule the earth — and dragons rule the skies. Nations rise and fall on the strength of their bonds with dragons, whose favor grants both military power and divine legitimacy.
Dragons are not beasts but sentient, immortal children of the elements — fire, storm, stone, wind, water, and rarest of all, ice. They can assume humanoid form at will, walking among mortals like living gods.

Bonded pairs are celebrated, showered with honors, titles, and lands.
Unbonded dragons are hunted, bribed, or coaxed into servitude — sometimes by force.
Dracari, the rare children born of dragon-human unions, are revered by some as divine and feared by others as cursed, often becoming the center of political intrigue.
