🌌 Essence of Nobility
The Royal Dragons are not a separate species born from Tenrakys's first brood, but rather a status of divine inheritance among dragonkind — a noble lineage carried within specific families among the 537 species.
Where most dragons inherit only their elemental essence, the Royals inherit something far rarer: the Mark of Dominion, an ethereal sigil born from the world's recognition of their power, wisdom, and purity of ancestry.
Those bearing this mark — glowing faintly upon their chest, horns, or wings — are destined to lead, guide, and preserve balance among dragon races.
---
🔥 Blood of Kings
Royal bloodlines can only emerge within families whose ancestry traces directly and purely to their first ancestor species — never hybridized, never tainted by foreign essence.
Each royal family reigns over dragons of their same species or elemental kin. For example:
The Royal Pyraflame Line governs dragons of fire and magma.
The Royal Cryovain Line presides over dragons of ice and aurora.
The Royal Aetherion Line rules dragons of sky, storm, and wind.
The Royal Verdantis Line leads dragons of forest, crystal, and life essence.
Within their species domain, the royal family acts as living conduits between the will of Tenari and the survival of their kind.

⚔️ The Dragon King
Among all royal dragons, the Dragon King stands as the strongest living dragon in Tenari — the apex of might and sovereignty.
The crown is not a crafted object but a manifestation of power: a radiant flame, frost, or aura halo that ignites above the King's horns when their essence surpasses all others of dragonkind.
If the Dragon King falls, the title passes not through battle, but through blood and balance — the eldest heir, upon proving mastery of their lineage's essence, becomes the next sovereign.
> "Strength is the proof of will, but will is the soul of rule."
— Kaelith's words to the first Dragon King of Fire
The Dragon King holds the Authority of Tenrakys, meaning his roar can command storms, quell volcanoes, or still the earth itself — but only when the balance of Tenari is endangered.
---
💎 The Dragon Queen
The Dragon Queen serves as the heart of royal wisdom — a being of guidance, healing, and spirit. Her role is not beneath the King's, but complementary.
If the King embodies power, the Queen embodies continuity.
If the King rules by command, the Queen governs by the Harmony of Weave, attuning to the emotions and energies of her realm.
Her scales often shimmer with multi-layered brilliance — colors that subtly shift depending on emotion and season — a reflection of the Weave of Tenari flowing through her.
It is said that when a Queen sings, even the storms fall silent to listen.
---
🌈 Scale and Splendor
The scales of a Royal Dragon reflect their elemental essence and environmental (just like all dragon species) resonance with divine precision:
A fire-blooded king raised near volcanic ridges may shine crimson-gold, while his daughter born under desert suns might gleam amber and copper.
An oceanic queen raised near crystal reefs could shimmer turquoise and silver, while her heir born deep beneath the abyss glows indigo and pearl.
No two Royal Dragons share the same pattern — their scales are a living chronicle of their realm, season, and soul. (But they can be over thousands of thousands of these species but the main one is the dragon king and queen!)
---
⚜️ Inheritance and Rite
The Rite of Ascension marks the moment when a royal heir becomes the new sovereign of their line.
It is performed beneath the Auralith Spire, the sacred convergence where Tenrakys's ancient energy still lingers.
There, the heir releases a burst of pure elemental energy — if the world accepts it, their scales ignite with the hue of their destined crown, and the Mark of Dominion transfers from the fallen monarch to the heir.
If the world rejects it, the energy dissipates, and the heir must wander Tenari to prove worth through wisdom, not force.
---
🐉 Role in the Balance of Tenari
Royal Dragons are the living governors of balance.
They are not gods, yet their decisions shape eras.
Their wars can alter the world's climate; their alliances can birth centuries of peace.
Because of this, the Council of Scales — an ancient gathering of kings and queens — convenes every thousand years to renew oaths of harmony and prevent the rise of corruption among their kind.
When a dragon king becomes too greedy or destructive, the Weave itself weakens their blessing — their scales dull, their aura fades, and a new contender may rise in their place.
---
🌠 Legacy of the Crown
The title of Dragon King is not eternal.
It passes from one era to another, from father to child, from flame to flame.
Yet in every age, one truth remains unshaken across the stars of Tenari:
> "So long as the scales shine beneath heaven's breath, the Crown shall endure."
