Adam's children are not born but made. Their father would have empty eggshells and remains of dragons brought in and through intricate alchemagical rituals with his essence as a focus, he creates entirely new life. Often the King only observes the hatching of the clutches, after which he commands his attendants to set out and deliver the hatchlings to other clans and set up a deal with them. The reason as to why he does this is shrouded in mystery even to his own entourage, though the most common answer is that they are meant to be spies or ambassadors. The children could be anything in this regard, the power of their ancestors allowing them about any path they wish to choose.

This child is of a clutch created with the help of Ereshkigal, an emissary of the great beyond. Mixing her essence in with that of Adam's does a great deal to externalise the powers of the hatchlings, such as reading fate, raising the dead and warping reality. All the same, the hatchlings are often plagued with poor health, something that can be remedied with attentive care, or more unorthodox ways such as siphoning life essence. A small price to pay in the emissary's eyes.
