Only time will tell what the High Dragons intend, but they magnificent and powerful creatures worthy of the reverence most give them. Without the High Dragons, many Wizards believe the war with the Fiends was lost, and only through their blessing were the Fiends and Zintar defeated.

High Dragons
High Dragons are the most revered and honored of all creatures on Azamar. Their lives span millennia, and their memories run centuries. The High Dragons live on the South Western
isles long ago dubbed as Dragon Home. Ancient Wizards established a treaty with the High Dragons, given permission to establish the massive and magical city of Adrya Ampais. The High Dragons purged the city of its populace when the betrayal of Zintar occurred;
none since returned. The High Dragons spend only twenty years as an adolescent compared to the centuries they will spend as adults. In this way, the High Dragons remember every betrayal and promise made by the Wizards of Azamar.
There are unique differences between High Dragon families, mainly that each family
represents each major elemental force of Nature: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Quintessence (Magic), and Erosion, (called Earth). The High Dragons prefer privacy and do not involve themselves in Humanoid politics nor will they weigh in on disputes over land or sea. In recent years, the Dragons have returned to other continents, exploring again beyond Dragon
exponentially after their kind passes around a tear.
They are also curious creatures and tend to approach living beings who venture to close. Aside from very powerful magic or well-sealed physical barriers, very little is able to protect an individual from touching a Hydrean in close proximity. Hydreans can suffer physical damage by attack, though doing so goes against recommendations. Many magic users believe that attacking and killing Hydreans upsets the balance of magic on Azamar. Fiends distinctly fear Hydreans, who will always aggressively swarm a nearby Fiend over any other creature. While Fiends appear immune to the affects of the Hydrean poison, they appear to suffer great damage from the Hydreans feeding on their Fiend life forces, consequently tied to the magical energies that are similar to the tears in the Fabric. The only Fiends who appear completely unaffected by the Hydreans are Revenants, who do not normally use physical forms in Azamar. Hydreans are extremely rare creatures to run across, considered lucky to encounter in the wilderness even at a distance. Wyvine treat the Hydreans with reverence, often taking that time to meditate in their presence.
Whether a race honors or fears the Hydreans, they appear as an integral piece of the puzzle that is Azamar.

Hydreans
Of the strange creatures that roam the skies of Azamar, the Hydreans are the least understood and the most feared. They are a creature formed entirely of magic.
Some elder magic users theorize that the Hydreans are a breed of creature whose sole purpose is the repair of the Fabric. When the Hydrean pass through an area, any tears in the Fabric are almost certainly and completely sealed and repaired. The Hydrean never move alone, though if one were separated from the others they are similar looking to small, albeit flying, jellyfish. Most Hydrean are small creatures, never much larger than a coin. They tend to have shifting iridescent and translucent bodies adorned by five or more tentacles. The largest Hydrean recorded was roughly the size of a small building and was solitary, though there are disputes to the account.
Touching a Hydrean is dangerous as like their sea-faring brethren, the jellyfish, they dispense a deadly poison by touch. Most Hydreans also emanate a dim light, which generates a fair amount of light at night.
The Hydreans tend to move gently with the wind, though as a cloud, they appear to move as desired.
They appear to feed on the magical tears in the Fabric to some degree, as the clouds often grow in size

Kongamato
Often mistaken for a small Dragon, the Kongamato is a creature that lives in the Wild Lands of the land of Azamar.
The Kongamato is highly territorial however it tends to attack natural prey, and avoids most of the travelers who frequent the Wild Lands. The creature is large enough to swoop in and lift a wagon, however does not have the strength needed to lift it. In most recorded encounters, a Kongamato will take pack animals or food stores quietly in the night.

They have attacked seafaring vessels, quickly emerging from the ocean and grabbing a hapless victim on deck, only to drag them underwater where it swallows them whole. The Korac’s skin is coveted for the strength and nearly seamless runs between its scales. They are incredibly difficult to kill and those few who have bested a Korac take great pride in that success.

From historical records, the Nauvowl underwent binding by Anteprofidian magic to the Tre’uoall people, several Millennia ago. This binding causes devout loyalty between the two, in some cases making it possible for a Tre’uoall to share senses with a Nauvowl.
