Chapter 1:
Dragons
There are many different types of dragons that roam the world calling it their home. There are the common metallic and chromatic dragons, and then there are more unique dragons such as the lung dragon or the world serpent itself.
Lung Dragon
They are known as the bringers of rain and seeing them is often seen as a sign of good harvest. They're most often spotted chasing their cosmic pearl across a stormy sky. Their pearl is flawless and where it comes from and how the dragon obtains it is subject to pure conjecture. Killing one of these dragons is thought to bring about 10 years of bad luck. The only manifestation of the ol' dragon hoard mentality they have is the ornate palaces they call their homes. These palaces are located high up, such as built into the side of a mountain or on top of a tower, or in the depths of the sea.

After generations of clerics and paladins hunting them down, their numbers have dwindled and now they hold a grudge against anyone who serves the gods.
The joppa resembles a massive whale with draconic features such as scales and undeveloped wings that dwells in the ocean, preying upon those who dare underestimate the might and majesty of the sea. Many tales of the joppa are tolde throughout the world. One such tale tells of a sailor whose obsession with it drove him and his crew to madness, and in the end they perished to its wrath.
Another tale tells of a martyr who was asked by his deity to row out into the middle of the sea and challenge such a beast. The martyr was swallowed by the joppa and spent 10 days and 10 nights in its belly. After which he fought his way out and swam to shore.

Terra Dragon
Born from the shifting sands of the desert. They are extremely attuned to the ways of the earth. They make lairs within sprawling stone structures they form from the earth. They lack an innate breath weapon and make up for it with their mastery of earth based magic.
The lair of an terra dragon is extremely easy to spot as they use their earth magic to pull from the ground massive stones and shape them into a labrynth. The telltale sign of an terra dragon is the debris they leave in their wake, such as massive stone or small ravines.

The most powerful and elusive of all the metallic dragons. Only barely surpassing gold dragons in sheer might.
They are sleek and sinewy with impressive musculature displaying its might. It's a regal creature that stands tall and proud above all others. It's scales shimmer between crimson and indigo in color. An adamantine dragon wyrmling has crimson scales with indigo specks and as it matures these specks grow larger until their scales are entirely indigo.
Hunted by Most. Adamantine dragons keep to themselves far from others as they are often hunted in the hopes that their hide and bones can be used to make very powerful weapons and armor. This is true, but it's still unappreciated by all adamantine dragons.
Hidden Lairs. They make their lairs in far-off places such as isolated valleys, lone mountains with high reaching peaks, and strange places in other planes of existence. They are particularly fond of commandeering the floating castles of cloud giants and take them for their own.
Hiding Among Mortals. Adamantine dragons make great use of the ability of metallic dragons to change shapes. When they feel the need to come out of hiding for a short time and mingle among normal people they usually take the form of knights in plate armor.
An Adamantine Dragon's Lair
Adamantine dragons make their lairs in hidden and nearly inaccessible places.

- One creature that the dragon can see within 120 feet of it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become lost in an illusory maze. While lost all attacks made against the creature have advantage and the creature cannot attack. To escape, the creature must use its action to make a Wisdom check contested by the dragon's. If the creature wins, it escapes the dream plane. Otherwise, the effect ends on initiative count 20 on the next round.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary adamantine dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- The dragon keeps an ever watchful eye over its domain. All creatures within 1 mile of the radius have disadvantage on Stealth checks made against the dragon.
- Ominous fog rolls along the ground within 6 miles of the dragon's lair. The fog lightly obscures the area and as it rolls along it takes the shape of flying creatures such as Roc's or lesser dragons.
- Adamantine weapons within 1 mile of the dragon's lair deal an additional die of damage except against the dragon.

Chapter 2:
Class:
Drakesoul
Standing tall and proud atop a plateau armored in ornate half-plate armor is an elf with red glowing eyes. In a flash, the elf unfurls previously unseen wings and flies high into the air.
A human is suddenly interrupted from their slumber by a sudden bout of terror. On the streets outside their home an orc stands surrounded by the terrifying visage of a great dragon, while a band of criminals flees.
A bandit jumps out to rob a traveling dragonborn. The dragonborn grins, and unleashes a blast of crimson energy from their maw. Instilling within their attacker a sense of their own mortality, causing them to flee.
These three examples are each Drakesoul. Within them they house the foundation of draconic power that normally only dragons would call their own. This foundation is what dragons harness to call upon their breath weapon, and is sometimes found among others.
Gift of Old
The power that the Drakesoul call their own was originally reserved only for those of dragonkind. This power was however gifted to a select few many years ago by a dragon who feared for the safety of the weaker races. These first few were charged with protecting the weaker races from the ire that they drew from dragons in the older days. This gift went on and was passed onto the descendants of those first few. This gift was also given to others throughout the years when it was needed.
Soul of Dragonkind
The soul is the foundation upon which all dragonkind fuel themselves. From their innate breath weapon all the way to the terrifying presence they can exude. Drakesoul are unique in that they manage to shape this power into different forms to suit their needs. Some harness it to call upon the arcane, other use it to control the elements. The source is the same, while the results are various. It is much like the Weave, in that even though the source of power is the same, it is used in a variety of ways.

Creating a Drakesoul
When making a drakesoul, consider how they came to possess this power? Are they descended from those who the power was originally gifted to? Or possibly they found themselves in peril and were shown pity by a dragon and were saved and then gifted the power in order to protect themselves in the future?
If the power was gifted, are you considered in debt? Are you tasked with a quest? How do draconic beings feel about your existence? Do they despise you or simply not care?

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list.
