Biography

"May I present; the story of a mage who got to close to the cosmos and burned himself on the darkness that escape through the barrier? Oh, I apologize, that was insensitive. I have some.. strange memories from the second age."

Mysterious Spirit - Chalcedony

Chalcedony is an originally unnamed spirit, nicknamed Chalcedony for the resemblance to the Arcane Mountains. Yet, they are present as a strange shadow within the Hive.
Chalcedony is the visual representation of the Hive's Magic, appearing in and out of reality at any given time. They are not a dragon, they are living energy mimicking those who live in this world.

You can ask them about their influence on the dragons seeking shelter in the Hive and they may answer.

Smells like shade-touched? No. You.. must be mistaken. Don't be silly..

Sublime Study

The very entrance to the Hive, adorned with many desks and employee-only areas. It's a large hall accessed through the Crystalline Ruins on the surface and acts as the welcome area of the entire Hive itself, staffed with employees and guards that limit who can enter the clan.

It's structured like an official government's building, complete with several offices behind doors and a large waiting room. The magazines on the tables are foreign, speaking of news that are happening outside of Sornieth. When asked about it, the employees shrug.

Corrupted to the Core

They were born in darkness. They didn't remember anything else, really.
They were aware of their purpose and yet, they couldn't act on it. A mere hatchling with a plan, and yet it couldn't do what it was supposed to do. Spread the shade.

Why that was, they realized much later, when the SERAPH directly faced them. They were in the presence of a being from space, much more terrifying than the shade, and yet as gentle as the mother of many children. They felt terrified.

Manifestation

Chalcedony's first summoned familiar. It signifies their secrecy and mystery as a manifestation affected by the Shade, making them seem almost artificial. The spirit living inside a robotic vessel will not move unless you get too close. It spits black goo when it feels threatened.

The Coenubialites - Groups and Biology

There is two ways Coenubialites appear. Dragons can be born with Coenubia or become possessed by it.
There are two locations for Coenubialites. Most of them stay within the Hive but some do wander out and become Hive Travellers searching for new places. These two groups are seperated into Hive Dragons and Travelling Coenubialites.

The dragons born under the influence of the Creator, the SERAPH, come to the world marked with a divine seal and glowing pink blood flowing through their veins. They are seen as the children of the SERAPH, the biologically true offspring of their God.

However, Coenubia is infectious and the SERAPH often trades hatchlings with other clans, to further spread his influence. When the true offspring is exposed to non-affected dragons, Coenubia spreads to them with the contact of bodily fluids, such as their blood. Those dragons that mutate into a Hive Dragon are called the Pseudo Coenubialites.

Coenubialites do not have to actually show crystalline growths on their bodies, as it depends on the individual. Some Coenubialites develop Opal or Gembond growths, some stay as a normal dragon with changed inner biology. There is no physical traits setting True and Pseudo-Coenubialites apart. They look the same.

Coenubialite biology is unique in the world, as they have barely any bodily functions. They have no need for Oxygen so they don't breathe, they have no smell to their bodies and their need for sleep is severely reduced. The main body function they possess is the habit of eating endlessly, as their bodies use a lot of energy to keep themselves alive without any other processes aiding them.

Physically, they look like dragon but have pink blood, crystalline bones and no organs besides their modified brain and a core replacing their hearts. Many parents end up being slightly freaked out by the strange structure of their Coenubialite hatchlings. However, unlike the SERAPH, they still have biological flesh and a limited shapeshifting ability, as their bodies are already pre-created and are their own.

Frequently, they are used by other dragons as a source of warmth, as their bodies run extremely hot due to the core, which they are used to. Their flesh and skin are modified to withstand the intense heat.

The Coenubialites - Abilities and Spread

However, not all clans catch on, unless something happens that reveals the hatchling's true biology. Most Arcane clans are not concerned by the development, leading to Coenubia spreading fast, however other flights are usually more wary. The hatchlings are not left to die due to the mental influence they have on their adopted families through telepathic bond they form with their (unknowingly) infected parents.

In Arcane clans, the development is actually seen as a benefit, as being a Coenubialite, true or pseudo, provides massive advantages.

Coenubialites, unlike most hatchlings, come to the world fully developed, intelligent and ready to survive. They are also larger in size compared to other newly hatched dragons and exhibit signs of boosted strength and magical capabilities. This makes them perfect dragons for battle purposes.
True Coenubialites are close to the SERAPH and therefore have stronger magic abilities and higher intelligence. Pseudo-Coenubialites, however, develop heightened abilities and intelligence during their mutation, even if the effect isn't as strong. It still make a large difference.

When they are close to dying, they seal themselves into a protective crystalline state, in which their bodies are unbreakable and absorb magic from the environment to heal themselves. However, if actual death sets in, they start reviving themselves with the same method, as a biological instinct. They are also capable of regrowing limbs, healing themselves and even growing extra limbs if a mutation goes awry.

This is what made the Arcane scholars keen on researching them, with no luck in getting into the Hive, the original birthplace.

They are, however, very weak to water, at least the older Hive Dragons are. Especially True Coenubialites will avoid the water with desperation. It's lethal to them and they will get harsh burns upon contact.
However, recent mutations have cropped up in the water flight, where the population of Coenubialites, upon pressure, developed the ability to resist water. This is in huge interest for the Hive Dragons under the SERAPH.

The Coenubialites - Familiars

Familiars are part of every dragons life, whether they protect you or they just have them so they can be cute and cuddly. The same concept applies to the Coenubialites. They are inherently social so they love to keep any company, even if it's just something they can consider a small companion.

However, familiars are not acquired by usual means, when it comes to Coenubialites.

When Hive-borne Dragons are old enough to use their magic for the first time, the first thing they do by instinct is to create a spirit that takes the form of an animal and carries the name of their what they consider important to them. Many Coenubialites opt to get more, mostly mortal, familiars in their lifetime, but that spirit always stays with them, as their first familiar and cannot be removed.

That spirit will morph forms and assume other names when the dragon grows and their motivation changes. It's always a representation of the dragon who first summoned it as their companion. It's not too abnormal to see Coenubialites with wildly different familiars when they grow older or even undergo big changes, whether they be positive or negative.

However, they also serve a function besides being a companion, as they are made from the SERAPH's essence. As such, they can aid in battles, with work, as well as support their owners in various ways and keep them from feeling alone. Many Coenubialites consider their familiars very important.

The Coenubialites - Potential Dangers

Coenubialites are extremely fast in starting to mutate to adjust to their surroundings. Most of the time it goes well, as they prove to be beneficial for where they live.

However, there is danger to frequent mutation. Sometimes Coenubialites will mutate suddenly and mutate into other species of dragons, as well as turn into new species of dragons.

One example that was heavily researched by the Hive scientists was the instance of a seemingly normal Veilspun heavily mutating into a Banescale sized Veilspun with 6 extra wings and 4 extra legs. She sprouted 2 pairs of branched horns with crystalline leaves growing on them. Despite her mutation, she stayed the same in personality.

She is living in the Hive, shapeshifted into a normal Veilspun to avoid suspicion in other flights. Despite being worried, the other dragons consider her a representation of the SERAPH's grace, as she defied her body to become something more powerful. Living in the hidden crystalline caves, working as the head priestess, she takes care of the sacred place that was said to be the SERAPH's birthplace.

However, there have been instances of dragons not reacting well to the mutations and becoming unrecognizable savage beasts that the SERAPH themselves put down to free them from their misery.

Coenubialites can also become shade-touched but never can be controlled by the shade. They merely get an additional boost in power and intelligence. Shade-touched Coenubialites are often rumored to be terrifying, however there have been no reported instances of that happening. The SERAPH often removes the shade from affected Coenubialites as a safety precaution.
