About this homebrew

Thanks you for checking out my post! I made this homebrew because I felt that the dragons of 5e were lacking interesting abilities and I wanted to make a homebrew setting with my own type of dragons. I only have three different types of dragons made but I will be making more in the future.

Below, you will find the stat blocks for different types of dragons and some lore to go with them. Please tell me what you think in the comments of my reddit post. Thanks again!

Chapter 1: Sky Tyrants

Creatures of myth and legend, seldom few even believe they exist. To most, they are mere fairy tales or long extinct creatures. But the few cities who have interacted with a dragon know nothing but fear and respect for the old kings of the sky.

This dying race once ruled over all the races of man and waged war against the giants in an age as mythical as the dragons themselves. Stories of this time are told in every culture by all manner of folk,the story largely remaining the same, although some details change with each retelling. At the peak of the dragons’ rule they had enslaved all of the lesser races, and their territory nearly spanned across the whole world. The races of man had suffered beneath them.

The dragons in power were warmongers and fought ceaselessly with the giants and each other. The dragons were divided into factions, usually by species, that hated each other bitterly. The gods of all races of man saw this as an opportunity to raise their subjects to power. They pooled their dwindling power together to create a creature not unlike the dragons they wished to overthrow. With feathers instead of scales, and a long, serpent-like body, the gods created the first seraph dragon, and sent it to inspire a rebellion amongst the rabble. This divine dragon helped free countless laborers and was soon found leading an army.

This army of freed slaves went on a glorious campaign across the known world. They sailed across storm racked oceans, marched through scorching deserts, and climbed the tallest mountains. Everywhere they went they found victory. With each victory, more serfs would join their ranks, and they would even find companions among a number of sympathetic dragons. Tyrants fell and cowered beneath them, and soon the age of dragons would end with the near extinction of their species. But a few cowardly and elusive dragons survived the onslaught, and their descendants still roam the world today.

Winter Dragons

Far north are the kings of the bitter cold, they stalk their frozen homes in search of anything to eat. They devour all and their hunger is without end.

Their pure white scales of a winter dragon blend in seamlessly with the snow and ice. Elusive and at home in the crippling cold, a select few have ever seen them so few descriptions exist. They have bone white horns that stick up from their head like a crown of ice icicles and cloak-like wings that seem to rain down hail as they fly.

The Lonely Throne. The winter dragons are extreme isolationists, rarely having any non-violent interactions with anyone. Broods are rare because they seldom find a mate, but when they do the newly born hatchlings

Hunters in the Snow. Life in the frozen waist is difficult; food is scarce and warmth is rarer still. To survive, the winter dragons devour anything edible, making them vicious predators. They employ illusion magic and stealth to confuse and sneak up on prey. They enjoy tormenting and confusing their more intelligent prey with mind boggling illusions.

Storm Dragons

Masters of storm and sea, bane to ship and sailor. Thunder warns of their demands and lightning collects their due.

With thin, fin-like wings and a large dorsal sail, storm dragons are better suited to sea than sky. Though they struggle to fly on their own, they take full advantage of the intense winds from the storms they create. Their deep blue scales blend in with the deep sea and the clouded skies.

Toller of the Seaways. Storm dragons often claim waters that are frequented by merchant ships. They visit the captains of ships, usually in the form of a seagull or humanoid in a sailor’s uniform, offering them safe passage through their territory, for a price. This price is usually gold or treasure and anyone who can’t or won’t pay may find their ship wracked and tossed about by rough waves and intense winds. The dragon will salvage any loot they can find within the ships that sink in their storm.

Dragons for Hire. Storm dragons are known to offer their strength to wealthy coastal cities in return for a large sum of treasure. Storm dragons make powerful protectors and savage soldiers.

A Storm Dragon's Lair. A storm dragon makes its lair at the bottom of the sea. A young dragon might make a home of a sunken ship while older dragons prefer to use ocean caverns as lairs.
