I wish there was an eyetype with central heterochromia, most of my family has brown rings. Cat's often have it and it would look more natural for the slit pupilled breeds to me than the vertical gradient.

Eye color is caused by a long period of exposure to the element of the area they're in, right? Kind of like how a mood ring changes color based on your temperature?
Well maybe you could blast the egg with a ton of elemental magic right before it hatches and then that side has the aggressor's element.

@Luckyclaw
eye color is determined by the eggs element, and the element they are hatched is (according the the Coatl encyclopedia entry) determined by the aura of the nearest deity. so it isn't just elemental magic, but an actual gods presence.
"Dragon species gain their elemental magic within the egg, imbued by the aura of the nearest deity. "

i'm just imagining someone Throwing an egg at one of the gods like 'BLESS MY CHILD.'
Also, what happens if the egg hatches while being held by multiple gods at once, I wonder... They'd likely all be at about the same distance...

Honestly I play fast and loose with the elemental lore in general. In my own lore it is very possible for dragons to use magic from another element (ie by gaining the favour of that deity, or a lot of practice, or being somehow otherwise connected to the element/flight like living there for a long time or having a mate from there). So oftentimes, a dual elemental dragon may have one eye of each of their elements, either by being born that way or having an eye change after learning another flight's magic.
I also believe it is possible for a dragon to modify their eye colour for cosmetic puropses using glamour magic, so some may do that. A dragon who wants to look more edgy may decide to have one red eye, for example. And certain types of heterochromia can be caused by damage (magical or physical) or infections to the eye (thinking of like, the Boneyard Tatters, that can give your dragon green eyes).

Well it is noted that an egg can not hatch without magic, and that there are areas outside of a gods domain, so along the far edges of a gods territory as to be closer to another god likely do not actually have their magic, and as such eggs will not gain an element or hatch.

In terms of both gameplay and canonical lore - it is impossible. Eggs laid outside of the domain of a flight's influence are not able to be imbued with the elemental magic needed to allow the offspring to hatch.[/quote]
But, as for those strange times like when Windsinger decided to up and wander the world ... well there might be some nests that mysteriously ended up with some Wind siblings. I don't consider dragons with more than one element canonical, as I think it would outright kill the dragon to have their internal magics conflicting like that, but for another god to make their mark before the other's influence did? Perhaps.
As for the topic, it would probably be illusion magic if they wanted the look. Or if they do have two kinds of that elements eyes, it would be a sign of them having unstable magic.

1: The gods themselves were traveling or having a territorial dispute over the nesting area while the egg was incubating (looking at Plague and Nature)
2: Twins from the same egg merged into one (like a double yolked bird egg in real life) would work for different colors of the same element
3: A disease or injury altered the eye after birth (an illness that eats away at elemental magic could leave one eye element-less?)
4: The result of a scientific/magical experiment gone wrong (or right!)
5: It's fine, it's just a really big freckle (iris nevus)
6: Cursed
7: The Arcanist did it

I wonder what that means for the Earth and Water flights, if it is so that their dieties have essentially disappeared. Is it leftover magic that's making eggs hatch, have they really not gone far at all, or is it just a myth the gods perpetuate to make dragons not wander too far?

I like to think that Tidelord never left Water, and he just used his power to redirect that river into Dustcarve Dig, the guy just knows how to not be found in his own domain if he doesn't want to be(for whatever reason). And Earthshaker I think is still still technically in his domain just ... [i]deeper[/i]. Of course that would not effect gameplay, but it makes me wonder if clans on the surface would start to have less viable children unless they dug down. (Or the big four have larger influence since they are the oldest and their power reaches farther? Hm.)
