Dragontear

A crystalline formation with a dragon's throat, used to generate the firebreath. It grows stronger with a dragon's forging. In time, other traits have been discovered.

Dragontears were once greatly coveted by both dragonmasters and mages. Dragontears are capable of containing the essence of a dragon, enabling a dragonmaster to perform the unique spell of trueform. Dragontears also are capable of storing life force, a quality that led to the Traitor's War during the Arenian Empire's first expansion

Arenian mages saw the potential in dragontears and began mercilessly harvesing dragons. The hunt resulted in the return of the elder dragon Baran, who united his kind with those opposed to the Arenian Empire, which suffered a sound defeat. The dragons were enraged, clamoring for human blood. But Baran calmed them, and made a pact.

Baran offered the last gift of the elder dragons: the fire of alliance, the Corredan Flame. That blessing has been carried by the Corredans of Dregya for centuries, and has kept the dragons allied with them ever since. In return, the Corredans are sworn to protect dragons and dragonkin.
