Dragons are creatures that originated from the 105th fruit of the Divine Tree. Their appearance and abilities can vary greatly from one another, but most are capable of wide-spread destruction. Most vanished after the conclusion of the Dragon Campaign 11,682 years ago, leading many to believe them extinct.[1] Only a few rare survivors are known to have persisted afterwards. A book from the Mille Seseau national library claims that Dragons are, "...the second most powerful of all 108 creatures given life by the Divine Tree," and that Soa reduced their intelligence as a balance.
History
The Age of Winglies, more than ~11,000 years ago
During this time Dragons were plentiful. Two Divine Dragons fought one another to the death, with the victor becoming ruler of the Dragon race.[2] In Gloriano, Humans discovered that the eyes of a Dragon combined into one at the moment of death and could be taken at that critical moment.[3] This crystal came to be known as a Dragoon Spirit.
The Dragon Campaign, ~11,000 years ago
The Dragon Campaign began when Diaz, Emperor of Holy Imperial Gloriano, declared war on the Winglies at Fort Magrad. Dragoons and their Dragons clashed against the Winglies and their Virage, the backwash of which would continue to distort nature for thousands of years. Each Dragoon possibly fought alongside a personal Dragon, although the only confirmed one was Michael, the child of the Darkness Dragon which became Rose's Dragoon Spirit. They fought together in the final battle at Kadessa, where Michael assisted in defeating Virage.
The Age of Humans, Present Day
As most Dragons vanished at the end of the Dragon Campaign, many believed they were extinct. In Serdio, the green-tusked Dragon, Feyrbrand appeared under the control of Imperial Sandora, and an unnamed Dragon was used for magical research purposes in the Black Castle. In Tiberoa, the sea Dragon Regole appeared and harassed ships traveling through Illisa Bay. In Mille Seseau, the Divine Dragon broke free of its seal in the Mountain of Mortal Dragon and attacked Deningrad. Ultimately, all of these Dragons perished.
Each Dragoon is capable of summoning a Dragon to the battle using their final spell, although whether these creatures are truly living Dragons or just magical constructs is unclear. Outside of those appearing from Dragoon spells, there are currently no known Dragons left alive.
Dragon Ranks
Note: This information is not found in game and instead comes from the official guidebook.
As with Dragoon Spirits, a Dragon's rank is determined by the number of eyes they possess.[3] Dragons can also be commanded by Dragoons, becoming their subordinates. To do so, the Dragoon in question must match the Dragon's element and be of a higher rank. Dragons are subservient to Dragons of the same element with a higher rank.[4] The more eyes a Dragon has, the more powerful and the higher its rank as seen in chart below.
| Eyes | Rank | Known Dragons/Spirits |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 1st | Divine Dragon, Divine Dragon DS[5] |
| 6 | 2nd "God Dragon" | Red Dragon DS, Dark Dragon DS, Jade Dragon DS, Silver Dragon DS, Violet Dragon DS, Gold Dragon DS, and Blue Dragon DS[3] |
| 5 | 3rd | Michael[6] |
| 4 | 4th "Ultimate Dragon" | Regole[7] |
| 3 | 5th "Dragon King" | Feyrbrand[8] |
| 2 | 6th | - |
| 1 | 7th | Pseudo Dragons[9] |
- It is not known where the Dragon found in the Black Castle lies in the above chart, other than it cannot be the 1st rank.
