Familiar
A familiar is a magical creature that a dragon gives their own magic to.

A dragon can have multiple familiars and a familiar can have multiple bonded dragons.
Mate
A dragon's mate is another they have viewed as a partner. Dragons are not bound to a single mate nor do they feel they can only have offspring with their chosen mate/s. Their is no cultural rules that mates are bound too, and each relationship may be different.
Clutch
Dragons rarely lay a single egg, so their offspring come in batches of twins, triplets, quadruplets, and so on, and are referred to as clutches. Clutchmates refers to siblings born in the same clutch. This means that all clutchmates are siblings, but not all siblings are clutchmates.
Hatchling/Dragonlet/Dragonet
Hatchling, dragonlet, and dragonet are all terms used interspersedly to refer to young dragons. Hatchling is more often used in referents to newly hatched or infant dragons, while dragonet/let is often used for still young but not quite infant dragons.
Nesting Grounds
Nesting grounds refers to the area a dragon chooses to lay eggs or care for their young in. Most nesting grounds lie within that dragon's territory, but not all.
Territory
A dragon's territory is a vague term used to either referred to the land a dragon has claimed, or simply the land one occupies. Some dragons gaurd their territory ferociously, while others couldn't care less who enters or claims space within.
The Loop
The Loop is a term used to describe the dream like state Auraboas often enter and even live in. Within The Loop memories are shared in a existence where time appears to flow in a non-linear pattern.
Sominia
The Sominia is a well organized group of dragons that help maintain the natural resources within the Crowned Forest. There are no specific requirements for "joining" as any dragon that feels they wish to give back to their community is free to assist. Senior members of Sominia help to assign tasks that may be taken on by newer members. Continously available tasks include collecting and scanning samples as well as tracking changes in behavior and population of local wild life.
