Biography
Registered Surgeon Subspecies; Lore below is taken from the thread and not mine
Bound by an oath to the Gods, the ancestors of Surgeon dragons were the first to dedicate their lives to the pursuit of medicine. Upon swearing their oaths, these dragons are granted abilities by the Gods to help them in their detection and treatment of the ill. Enhanced resistance to disease allows them to be in close proximity to diseased dragons without being infected by pathogens. In addition, specialized scent and taste receptors allow them to pick up the scent of illnesses and analyze the composition of blood.
Over the generations, these dragons have passed their knowledge down to future Surgeons and other practitioners of medicine. The College of Surgeons is the premier teaching hospital in Sornieth. The first College, located near the Beacon of the Radiant Eye, was sadly lost to a fire. After much debate, a new College was built in the region of the Pox Consulate as a token of continued respect and cooperation between Surgeons of all flights, and of hope that the rift between Nature and Plague might one day be healed.
Some dragons swear their oaths at a young age, while others decide much later in life. As a mark of their calling, these dragons are stripped of their original coloration, becoming a pristine shade of white or bone, and stained with red--the color of blood, the life-giver. Although Surgeons are not restricted to a single flight, they are granted flight-specific abilities dependent on their elemental God. While many remain true to their oaths, their abilities and knowledge also predispose them to corruption, and some have been known to fall to insanity or bloodlust.
Renowned for their skills as homeopathic medics, Surgeons born to the Nature flight are experts at deriving medicines from the natural world. They have an intuitive understanding of the body's ways of cleansing and healing itself, and are often sought to address autoimmune disorders.
Quote:
“I, Scalpel, swear by the Gladekeeper and call all the gods and goddesses to witness, that I will observe and keep this oath, to the utmost of my power and judgement. I will teach my art without reward or agreement, and impart my knowledge to all of those who are to follow. I will remember that medicine is both a science as well as an art and that sympathy and understanding may outweigh procedures and drugs. I will not be ashamed to admit when there is something I do not know or understand, and I shall call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed.
“I shall tread with care in the matters of life and death. It may be within my power to save or take a life, but above all, I must not play at God. I will prevent disease wherever I can. And if I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected and remembered hereafter.”
