Lore: Collectors are very somber dragons whose wings have been blessed by the Lightweaver herself so they may travel vast distances in the never ending search for knowledge and truth. Their only passion is expanding the horizons of their mind, and they pursue this end feverishly. With their unnaturally strong, glowing wings, Collectors soar across the lands in the hope of finding ancient relics or interviewing theorists. They often bring back as many treasures as they can carry- dusty tomes, cracked tablets with heiroglyphics of some dead language, faded portraits from another era. Librarians and scholars love the Collectors, because although they are mostly concerned with their own pursuit of knowledge, they are more than willing to show off what they've found on their latest excursion.

Because their wings are made strong with the Lightweaver's magic, Collectors tend to travel for extended periods of time gathering interesting items and tidbits along the way- some will disappear from their clan for months at a time before returning with a veritable mountain of artifacts.

Although the Collectors generally only care about expanding their knowledge base, a rare few find mates. These mates are practically always other Collectors, because almost no one else can bear their wanderlust and fanatical raving about this moldy book or that chipped enameled vase.

Habits/Personality: Collectors tend to be a bit morose concerning anything other than their pursuit of knowledge. They are also rather easily distracted by anything that looks shiny, old, or just interesting. It is rare to have a Collector’s full attention, so appreciate it if you manage to get it.

Collectors are generally very solitary and quiet (unless you ask about that crumbling statue they found), which many dragons interpret as snobbishness. This doesn’t really bother Collectors, as it has no impact on their never-ending search.

Diet/Hunting: Because they tend to be absorbed in their hunt for treasures, Collectors often forget to eat on a regular basis. When they finally realize they’re hungry, they’ll eat whatever happens to be easiest to obtain- they’ll eat almost anything and are very resourceful. Even in harsh areas with little for nourishment, Collectors can find something to hold them over until they can find a more satisfying meal.

Combat: Collectors often have a stash of magic objects with them at all times that can be used offensively or defensively in battle. They also have an arsenal of Light magic, which is assumed to be a side effect of their blessed wings. But although they can handle themselves well in combat, most Collectors tend to avoid conflict if possible.
