The Dragon Gods of Consolidation

Regulus, Time Dragon
Triton, War Dragon
Marik, Leytech Dragon
Gaia, Nature Dragon
Silas, Shaper Dragon

Regulus Regulus is the King of Dragons, the leader of the entire pantheon, and the mediator between the various Dragon Gods and their realms. While this is his primary function, Regulus is also a Time Dragon who controls the flow of time, and rain and thunder across Aloria. He is traditionally associated with lightning and blue scales. Regulus once lived as a mortal Prince of the Regalian Empire, but was discovered to carry the Dragonsoul that sparked the revival of the Dragons.
Triton Triton is the Dragon of War, but imprisoned in the Void as an Evolist God also. When Caius entered the Void upon its first opening, his soul was split in two, the other half being Triton that embodied his rage for revenge and conflict. Triton was re-admitted into the Dragon Pantheon despite his Void-corruption, and eventually took on the role of the martial Dragon who represents all soldiers and warriors and military conflict. He is associated with chains and black scales.
Marik Marik is the Dragon of Leytech or more broadly speaking technology. He is the original creator of the Leylines and the Leysites, ancient Dragon ruins and temples which hold great Draconic Magic and machinery to serve their cause. Marik was tricked by the Machinist Death God to cause the destruction of the Skyborn Empire in the Great Storm, and since being reborn, has been working to mend the conflict between Skyborn and Dragonkin. He is associated with machines and bronze scales.
Gaia Gaia is the Dragon of Nature who creates all plantlife. Gaia was killed by the Allorn Empire, but his Dragonsoul was preserved and merged with the ex-Death God Iorwerth who would then carry his power as penance for his role as Death God. Iorwerth also brings architecture and construction to Gaia's powers, and has become a symbol of redemption. While he is traditionally associated with indigo scales and flora, due to his Ordial corruption he also shows Death Metal and Ordial hues.
Silas Silas is the Dragon of shaping, making, and crafting. He inspires the combination and processing of raw materials into objects of beauty and function, and it is said the first swords of any civilization are forged inspired by his scales. Silas seeds the world with precious minerals and holds the Dragonforges from which the machine parts are produced which Marik builds his machines out of. Silas is associated with the fires of industry, metallurgy, and his silver scales.

The Dragon Gods of Annexation

Severena, Protector Dragon
Aurora, Life Dragon
Nox, Knowledge Dragon
Orion, Afterlife Dragon
Julianus, Wisdom Dragon

Severena Severena is the Dragon of Protection and of guidance and mentorship. She inspires all to shepherd and shield others from mistakes and harm, and empowers her followers to protect the weak from harm. Severena is also called the Dreamer Dragon, as though she did not die, she entered a long slumber which froze the Jade Sea, and henceforth only communicates to her people through dreams. Severena is traditionally associated with clouds, jade, and her pearlescent green scales.
Aurora Aurora is the Dragon of Life and Creation, who designs and breathes life into all species and creatures, particularly fauna. Through her magic, childbirth is woven into the world, and by her will, life marches on despite all obstacles. Aurora was tricked by the Glacial Death God, causing a coldsnap in Ellador that killed many Dwarves and made the Isldar. Even though the truth is revealed, she remains distant. She is associated with comets and her purple scales.
Nox Nox is the Knowledge Dragon, a famed trickster and plotter who charts his own course sometimes in contravention of other Dragons. Nox gathers knowledge and information from the ages, but in one of his plots, he was condemned to a mirror world for violating the laws of creation of Aurora. Even here, he continued to plot with his chosen favorites the Slizzar, to influence world events, all the way up to his release. He is associated with mirrors, teal, and his chrome scales.
Orion Orion is the Dragon steward of the Afterlife, the only Dragon not physically residing on Aloria but with the stars. Orion is a detached entity with total spiritual and mental tranquility and detachment from want and need. He guides the dead into the afterlife, and teaches the living respect for the dead and the rites of passage. He is traditionally associated with all manners of cosmic symbolism and monk-like aesthetics, as well as his ivory scales.
Julianus Julianus is the Dragon of Wisdom and Insight. He is a purely logic-driven God that shows little compassion for the individual, but is instead condemned to see the perpetual outcome of each action and each choice for all eternity. Julianus informs the Dragons on the correct course of their actions across the world, even if the immediate outcome is unclear, as he sees in centuries and millennia. Julianus is associated with spiders and silken threads, and his lavender scales.

The Dragon Gods of Succession

Daiana, Ancestor Dragon
Cinerius, Passion Dragon
Umbra, Death Dragon
Felicula, Arcana Dragon
Luna, Companion Dragon

Daiana Daiana is Dragon and bAloria itself. Her body is the planet and her thoughts are the deepest planet's core. She is the lady of all the elements that fuel the world, but also a maternal representation of ancestry and descendants, that allows the soul rivers to flow across her surface to find new inception of life. Daiana never appears in person, and is always slumbering, sometimes even dreaming up dragons and people. She is associated with spirits and gray stone.
Cinerius Cinerius is the Dragon of Passion and Love. He was born in the death of Caius the previous war and passion God, rotten after millennia of suffering a Void blight. Cinerius in his rebirth became so much more concentrated passion and desire, that his very form is impossible to gaze upon without going mad with want and shame. He is the Dragon of family and any emotion or feeling that gives color to life. He is associated with fire and his red scales.
Umbra Umbra is the Death God, a just arbitrator of necessary but elegant and beautiful death. To Umbra, the concept of death itself is fascinating, and a seed for rebirth and renewal that represents the very core of existence itself. He is the necessity of death, and the justiciar of necessary death to preserve the lives of others. He is generally considered with some suspicion, due to plotting his own plans. He is associated with shadows and his pristine white scales.
Felicula Felicula is the Magic Dragon, responsible for the fueling of all Dragon Magic and orchestrating reality's rules regarding the usage of Magic. It is through her gifts that the Archon and other Draconic warriors, priests, and servants are empowered to do their work and the bidding of their Gods. Felicula is considered skittish and small, but one of the most powerful Dragons due to her control of the Magic used by others. She is associated with song, and her yellow scales.
Luna Luna is the Companion Dragon, which is a broad understanding of compassion, kindness, and social cohesion. She encourages a togetherness and celebrates the companionship of friends and allies, to kindle a warmth in social bonds that can withstand even the coldest of winter trials. In a way, her association with the moon casts her as a companion of Daiana, leading some to speculate she may be a physical manifestation of the Moon. She is associated with ice, and cyan scales.

-* '''Mana''' (pronounced ma-naa) is the Goddess of nature and kindness. She represents the whole of the natural world in all its beauty and plant-life. All the trees, all the flowers, and even the grassfields are given nurture by her will. But she is also the Godddess of kindness and compassion, hers is the perfection of empathy that wishes for a kindness received for each given. Seen as the mother of the Yanar people, Mana suffered in the fall of the Allorn Empire greatly to a weakened state.
+* '''Daiana''' Daiana is Dragon and bAloria itself. Her body is the planet and her thoughts are the deepest planet's core.

-* '''Aseia''' (pronounced a-say-a) is the God of knowledge and Magic. They are the all-knowing of the Gods, who holds deep ancient secrets and arcane power. They are the perfection of the Arcane, teaching that all must seek some knowledge, understanding, or use of Magic, and to be completely devoid of any insight in the matter, is a great personal failing. They also preach for the perpetual training of the mind, to always be learning new things, and to absorb new concepts and literature.
+* '''Cinerius''' Cinerius is the Dragon of Passion and Love. He was born in the death of Caius the previous war and passion God, rotten after millennia of suffering a Void blight.

-* '''Artarel''' (pronounced ar-ta-rel) is the Goddess of Justice and Law. The laws and codes of the Allorn Empire were made by her will, and first to be perverted by her enemies when the Empire declined. Artarel is the perfection of justice, a cruel but just sense of cosmic rightness, that all the stars will not shine brightly until all injustices are excised from the world. She preaches that all followers bear common responsibility for the fair treatment of all, and equality at the end.
+* '''Umbra''' Umbra is the Death God, a just arbitrator of necessary but elegant and beautiful death. To Umbra, the concept of death itself is fascinating, and a seed for rebirth and renewal that represents the very core of existence itself.

-* '''Ammuloa''' (pronounced amuu-loa) is the God of the dead and the afterlife. He ordains the burial rites and teaches the priests the dogma of the faith. He represents the perfection finality, that all good things must come to an end, and that all bad things must also. He preaches a drive in the faithful to seek enlightenment, or achievement, or service before it is all too late and their soul is lifted onto the perfected balance where he measures their worth for the afterlife, or reincarnation.
+* '''Felicula''' Felicula is the Magic Dragon, responsible for the fueling of all Dragon Magic and orchestrating reality's rules regarding the usage of Magic.

-* '''Avinla''' (pronounced avin-la) is the goddess of life and the motherhood. She represents the future of the people and is the patron of all children and parents who foster new life. She is said to breathe the perfection of enduring into every newborn, to create joy, happiness, and to please the self. To Avinla, life is a gift that must be experienced, and she endears a curiosity for that beyond the familiar, and a wanderlust to those trapped by the confined. Avinla is currently in a death-slumber.
+* '''Luna''' Luna is the Companion Dragon, which is a broad understanding of compassion, kindness, and social cohesion. She encourages a togetherness and celebrates the companionship of friends and allies, to kindle a warmth in social bonds that can withstand even the coldest of winter trials.
