Species Spotlight: Racconto

KC J. Hutchins

The Racconto is a dragon made entirely of stone and are keepers of recorded history. Across their skin are etched depictions and writings of their specific field of interest; whether that be a specific people or land. They are found on top of Mount Storia in the land of Petram, the land of stone. In abilities, they are able to shoot rocks from their mouths, spew lava from their back, and roll down at high speeds toward enemies. Famous individuals from this species include Padconoscenz who erected and built the Pietrateca, the library with the vast knowledge collected by the Racconto and home of the dean of their people.

Species Spotlight: Dwarf

KC J. Hutchins

I know dwarves have been introduced in so many stories such as The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Norse mythology. Much like they are found in other media, they are shorter than humans although in my book they are around four feet tall. In the land of Magitotum, there are two dwarven kingdoms; Skapejuvel and a sister kingdom in Graecia. Mostly smiths, they are usually sought after by all the lands for their great craftsmanship and supply of precious gems. Although they are more than just great craftsman they are also mighty warriors. In years past, there have been many dwarven warriors that have changed the tide of battle. The most famous of which would be Skapesmi, known as the siege breaker. Using his hammer Beleibrer made of the unbreakable metal known as Uknustal, he carved the way for many victories as he demolished city walls for the armies to pour in.

Species Spotlight: Omni

KC J. Hutchins

The Omni is a species of dragons that is able to use the abilities of all other dragons, even able to turn their mates into the same species as themselves. Their appearances range due to the mixed up genes that they inherit from all other species. Originally created to settle the conflict between the original species of dragon, they were once seen as heroes. Their founder, Omnes, dedicated his life to mending feuds between others starting out by ending the Conflict of Elemental and Metaphysical Disorder. Once he passed, his daughter Prima and his son Exim took his place and took responsibility for further lasting the peace. Prima took it upon herself to settle the Elemental dragons where Exim calmed the Metaphysical. Peace reigned even further. Slowly, corruption took seed in the hearts of these dragons as time grew on. It was at the end of the Tech War when they fully dipped into darkness. Led by Xerxes’ uncle, they committed horrible acts in search of dominion; the Genie Enslavement, the attack on Mendaxum, and the theft of Skapejuvel to name a few. They evil was soon snuffed out by one of their former allies, Delsey, came and wiped them out completely, or so everyone thought. In reality, she kept one alive for reasons unknown. Most of her allies assumed it was to show a sense of power. Now it is up to this one dragon to not only save Magitotum but to redeem his people.
