On the Edge of War
The peace that had fallen between the dragons and mankind was very thin. Everyone accepted this, that the balance between war and peace has been, and always will be easy to shatter. And now. a foolish outcast has decided to toy with this balance. A small group of royals, unknown to the king and queen of the Sunscales and Nightmares, Has used their unique power, to transform from their dragon form into humans, to bring chaos. Terrorizing villages, and slaughtering innocent. Toying with their prey, before devouring them. The king has been reduced to one option. If the Human king was to send his men to hurt these beasts, a war between humans and dragons would break out. A war that humans would undoubtly loose. So he has sent requests out. To gather a hero from each village. And create a group of men(or women) to travel through the dense, dragon filled forests, to talk to the Sunscale King and Queen. Who will hopefully help them with this issue.
Foundation magic
Humans, the foundation of most other creatures, are the least gifted in any form of magic. They traded talent for capability, there are branches Ranging from Druidism to Necromancy. Though the last is frowned on. The easiest for a human to learn is elemental magic. Controlling and casting spells with the aid of air, water, earth and fire.

Draconic magic
Humans never learned this sort of deep rooted magic. They never got access to it, though to most dragons, it comes natural. It manifests itself in breathing fire, ice or acid. Or in commanding the rays of the sun or moon. It is strongly connected to an inner burning 'flame' and the will of a dragon. Among dragons, a true limit to this power has yet to be found. So far the only existing barriers have been a lack of will for something. In the rare Occasions when Humans and Dragons become allies, and become a sort of dragon Cult, the dragons may reward the humans with a tiny bit of what is called Shared Flame. Which allows the human to cast Draconic Magic.

About Dragons
Most often, dragons live in solitary. Claiming small areas of land in which they hunt in and raise their offspring. Larger dragons may allow smaller dragons to live within their territory if they follow certain terms. Depending mostly on personality, some live in small packs of 2-5. Females are in season to breed only once a year. And like most things, this time depends on what breed the dragon is. Females normally have a single egg that takes three months to hatch. While some females have clusters of eggs, ranging from as low as 2, to as high as 10. Once hatched, the mother will provide for her offspring for nearly two years, until they have learned to defend themselves. Most mothers are caring. While others become cannibals the moment hunger creeps among them. One dragon year, is equal to almost 5 humans years. Giving dragons a longer life span. Within each type of dragon, there is one royal family. The royal families often have special abilities that normal dragons of their own kind would not have, they are able to take the form of humans. And have wings, while ordinary dragons do not have wings. Royal families live from one generation to the next, and stay close most of their lives. Living together in groups up to twenty.
Dragon Rider
Humans have exsisted only because dragons allow them. But because of certain humans wishing to eliminate these dragons, there has been a growing tension between the two races. Dragon Riders are rather rare. There are many different ways that a Rider and Dragon may get together. The most common, are because of prophecy, and raising the dragon from an egg(which takes a long time). Although dragons have bonded with humans before, creating deep roots. And producing the best partners.
Species of Dragons
Metal Clank Dragon
Metal clank dragons are rather huge compared to other dragons. The males can reach up to twenty feet, but averagely only make it to 16 feet tall, while females range between 12-15 feet tall. And are 1.5 their height in length. Their scales are larger than average dragons. Made completely out of a substance that is stronger than steel. Giving them the appearance of armored dragons. When they walk, the clanking and clattering of their scales against each other echo's through the air. Giving them their name. These dragons have seemed to be made for riders. Because between their scaled shoulder blades, is a hollow space, a small bubble where their scales do not cover. This is their one weakness. However, dragon riders can weave riding leather and equipment into this gap, to make it easier to stay on their companion. While it also benefits the dragon by allowing them no weakness. Most other dragon would think it insane, but Metal Clank Dragons often go in Search of a rider. They see it as a honor to have a companion to help protect the weak humans with. Metal Clank Dragons have no special powers. They cannot breath any sort of fire. It is their armor that makes them so powerful, not to mention their brute strength. And often at the ends of their tails there are weapon shaped metal.

Lich Dragons
Long before humans had built cities, a great breed of dragons roamed and ruled the mountains' frozen peaks. Each was even more proud than the other. They ever so often battled among each other, establishing dominance. Though after ages, the fights grew fiercer. Surrender was no longer an option. It were fights till dead. And thus, the dragon's ended their own breed. With a few who died in died of old age in exile.
A Lich found one of these exiled dragon's corpse and thought it would be a rather good idea to try and possess it. The physical result was horrible. The flesh melted away from the bones. A cold blue flame filled their chest and wrapped around the dragon's spine and limbs like tentacles. Eventually it spread towards the head, where it filled the skull. Though the Lich was not powerful enough to resist the Dragon's magical capabilities and thus perished. Giving its life force to re-awaken the dragon. This exiled dragon returned to his land, where he found his brothers and sisters, all dead. He shared parts of his own life force with the others. And soon a new breed of dragons were born. Though sadly, they could only be born from the dead of the old breed.
Earth Dragons
Earth dragons came in many different forms but more often than not the come in the form of a large Trex. Earth Dragons are a very old race of dragons, they build their nests in the earth itself by digging holes. Earth dragons are often quite large, with massively powerful mouths, and extremely tough skin, yet they are very agile on land. They are carnivores and more often than not end up eating any creature that comes into their territory. Earth dragon’s often have the ability to dig into the ground and even control the earth itself when needed. The royalty of the Earth Dragons don’t actually have wings, instead they have multiple horns and spines on their back, they even have the ability to turn themselves into a sort of bolder and role at high speeds even faster than normal earth dragons can run.
HydroSurge Dragons
The Hydrosurge Dragons live in hidden in surface caverns in the sea throughout the land. Males average to be 20ft tall and 32ft long, while females average at 17-18ft tall and 28-29ft long. Royalty Hydrosurge have wings, and very large horns, ranging from 5-6ft long. Hydrosurge have terribly strong jaws, and inside those jaws are 3 rows of 30 5inch razor sharp teeth awaiting for prey. Even though they are quite menacing, the Hydrosurge, are actually, quite friendly. Being very relaxed in territorial matters, they will let almost anything go through unless they sense it as a threat. They use their 9inch razor-like claws to dig into the rock in the side of caverns where they lay their eggs. They are only very territorial around the nest or the babies themselves. As defense mechanisms the can extend their claws, to a foot long, flash their tail frills, and blast water from their mouths at 90mph.
If you wish to make a dragon type, just pitch me the idea, and if I okay it, make a paragraph
