Blue Dragons
The Symbol of which the wyvern and the spet have on them during brith and the rest of their lives. If a mate is taken by a wyvren they must brand their mate during mating
• History
Originally from Eastern Europe, the blue dragon sept relocated sometime around the first millennium to Italy, where the highest concentrations of members still live.
The blue dragons were for centuries the weakest of all five septs, and were almost completely destroyed in the Endless War when two-thirds of the members were murdered in a brutal attack by the black dragons. The sept withdrew from both mortal and immortal socializations following the war, per the request of the Wyvern at the time.
The following century was a time for restructure and reorganization, with the blue dragons returning to active participation in the Weyr by late seventeenth century. Notable members include: Rosana Flore (the first female wyvern, later murdered by her brother in 1318), Alberti Da Ghiacceto (who is said to have created the recipe for the dragon's blood beverage)

• Traits
The blue dragons are best known for two specific abilities--tracking, and telepathy. Possessors of strong social skills, they are skilled in the art of manipulation, and are renowned negotiators. They also have a keen grasp of mortal psychology, and as such, have done extremely well in businesses in the mortal world. They prefer distance fighting to hand-to-hand combat, and are fascinated with technology of any sort.

Green Dragons
• History
With its Celtic origins in Northern Europe, the green dragon sept has had a violent and often tragic history. Torn apart frequently by internal strife, the sept suffered from a lack of leadership for several centuries until in 1447, when the internal troubles were put to an end by the arrival of Alhazen Vireo.
A mage and mathematician, Alhazen brought stability and order to the tumultuous sept, rewriting the sept coda, and setting down rules which are kept to this day. Alhazen originally opposed participation in the Endless War, seeing no need to either claim supremacy over the other septs. When the red dragons, led by their wyvern Chuan Ren Lung, attempted to take over the sept, Alhazen reluctantly entered the war and successfully protected the sept from obliteration. Following the Endless War, Alhazen was the first to suggest a democratic structure to the weyr, with each sept receiving equal representation.
The sept again fell into confusion and disarray when Alhazen was assassinated by a red dragon. The two septs declared a private war, which waged with bloody purpose until the turn of the twentieth century, finally ending when the current wyvern agreed to a trial by combat to determine the outcome of the war. The green and red dragons have had an uneasy peace since the red dragons' defeat.

• Traits
The green dragons are thieves, and as such, are very adept at getting in and out of close quarters, smuggling, and upon occasion, shape-shifting. They have a natural skill with puzzles and locks, and although they are amongst the most feared fighters in the dragon world, their strengths lie in close-quarter improvised battle rather than involved strategizing.

Red Dragons
• History
The red dragons have a unique history in that one wyvern has, in effect, headed the sept for most of its existence. Although her origins are lost, it is rumored that Chuan Ren Lung was the daughter of the previous wyvern, a man she murdered along with the remaining family members in order to ensure there were no other claimants to wyvern.
Regardless of her origins, Chuan Ren Lung has an iron grip on the red dragons, as she has had for more than 1500 years. It was her desire for supremacy that caused two of the three major dragon wars, including the Endless War, and the private war with the green dragons (in which more than 60 percent of the red dragons perished). Forced by lack of resources and Weyr pressure to accept peace accords, the red dragons have slowly learned to live in (relative) peace with the other septs.

• Traits
The red dragons are fierce warriors, and masters of all combat arts. They believe might makes right, and lack diplomatic skills and abilities that come naturally to other septs. They have little tolerance for fools or weaknesses, and have a history of periodically purging their sept of members who don't meet their high standards. They are bold and confident, unquestioning in their loyalties to their sept, and do not hesitate to challenge anyone who stands in their path.

Silver Dragons
• History
Not a great deal is known about the silver dragons outside the sept, due mostly to their close-knit clan, the members of which are reluctant to make public information they consider to be private business.
They are the youngest of the five dragon septs, formed when a branch from the black dragons gathered to protest the rule of the dread black wyvern Baltic, known for his ruthless and bloody attempts to dominate the five septs. The black dragons did not take kindly to their offspring leaving the sept, and spent several centuries trying to win them back--first by bribes, later by force.
The first wyvern of the silver dragons, Constantine Norka, was successful at keeping the sept autonomous, although he paid a high price for that freedom--Baltic cast a curse on the sept that promised no mate shall be born to any of its members until a black dragon was accepted as wyvern.

Previous Wyvern: Sial Fa'amasino
• Traits
The silver dragons are renowned healers, and as such, are very much in demand in both the mortal and Otherworld. Some silver dragons also have empathic abilities, a trait that has been exploited by other septs. They have a particular affinity with nature, and many spend time with earthier beings such as wood sprites, elves, and sylphs. They are cautious and careful in battle and politics, and while they hold honor and loyalty to be among their most valued traits, they are formidable in their revenge if you cross them.

History of Dragons:
There was once Five dragon spets, Red, blue, Green Sliver, and Black… They live in harmony other then Chun ren’s attempts off war with greens. Things were very much in balance. Other then the Sliver’s living under the curl rule of black dragon’s and their Wyvern Baltic. But the Sliver’s had no more interest in living with the black’s. Till one day the sliver’s only wyvern Constantine Norka, rose his sword against Baltic, and his blacks. It was a horrible war, that soon deploved into an all out war, not just with Sliver’s but there other spets. This brought about the dragons Endless War. But Baltic had a deeper darker secret. He had learned the art of a sage’s dark magic, and had begun to use it, making deals with the Demon lord. (Hence when portals and such began, and also how the IGG formed) He was consumed by power and rage. Baltic’s reagaven on the silver’s took a nasty turn for them. He a cursed the sliver’s to never have a mate born to them, unless a black wyvern took control over the sliver spet. This had Baltic’s head cut off by Constantine Norka. But for some reason, that wasn’t enough… Making him one of the most famous Wyverns, and hero in the eye’s of all Dragon’s. And he went on to live with his mate Marrie De atta. The cycle of the Phylactery. This was formed so for a cycle of a hundred years, each spet would hold the Phylactery in their home, for a good cycle blessed, with mating, children in hope to rebuild all spets for their help in the endless war. Some dragon wonder though, if the power of the Phylactery could even left the curse of Baltic. But after Constantine’s death, no one knew the answer, nor how to hanrsit the Phylactery power. So every cycle that has happen the same topic arises as to how this curse would be lifted… It seemed even after the death of Baltic, his still hunts the Sliver’s…But there was still hope for the spet’s when Alhazen Vireo the green wyvern spoke up and built a democracy, that all the Wyvern could relate to, while the cycles continued, a few new Silver’s were being born, as to a mate very couple of hundred of years. Alberti Da Ghiacceto had also mad the wonderful beverage favored by all dragons. A wine calls Dragons Blood, A woodsy, heavy spices, which have the great power of dragon’s fire. This was a safer way for Wyverns to find their mates in a sense, and just plan good.
