Axelidros

The First Dragon

Axelidros is worshiped almost exclusively by Dragonkin and Dragonborn. Those few others who worship Axelidros are motivated by a reverence for all things Draconic. Though it is believed that Axelidros still lives somewhere on Adurra, all expeditions to find him have ended in tragedy. Priests of Axelidros typically reside in secluded mountain monasteries where they commune with those few Dragons who care to converse with the smaller races. Any priest or cleric of Axelidros found in civilization is typically on a mission of parlay or provision to aid their associated monastery. Often when negotiations need to be opened between governments and Dragonkin clerics of Axelidros are contacted to mediate the discussion. Worshipers of Axelidros are often viewed suspiciously, believing they may be working in concert with greedy and evil dragons, hoping to level their village and steal their livestock.

Lore
When Axelidros was born to Ara she was frightened. His skin was scaly and rough, his back sprouted with wings, and he walked across the ground like an animal. While Ara birthed the creatures of the forest she knew such a child would not be welcomed in the court of Adar. So Axelidros was hidden away from the eyes of Adar with only Pellar to see. When Axelidros had grown to an adult he was enormous and terrifying. Axelidros hoped to fly and hunt and seek the treasure he so desired, but Ara knew this was impossible. Ara lamented, for Axelidros could not remain in the home of the gods. So in sadness Ara bid goodbye to her son and sent him to the mortal realm where he would be safe from Adar.

When Axelidros arrived in Adurra he rejoiced for the sky was so large and the riches so great. Axelidros claimed the riches of the mountains for himself, and the game of the forest for his stomach and he was content. But for Axelidros the conversation of mortals seemed lacking. While amusing like pets, they seemed unremarkable in nearly everyway. Thus Axelidros ascended to the top of Bataar, the Mountain of Fire and drew from the lava the first Dragon eggs. From the flows of ash the first Flight of Dragons ascended, powerful and wise like himself they flew across Adurra to claim their fortunes. Only two dragons stayed with their father: Rraxxa, the silver, and Jurr’ek, the Red. Together they built the city of Akaad, home of the dragons, and there he breathed the fire of creation and birthed the Dragonborn.
