Consorts of the Pendragon

The Pendragon had several consorts given Her by various joinings of the dragon gods. These consorts were divine in nature and had two heads, one to match each of their dragon god parents.

The majority of Her children resembled Her favored consort Sirrush [1], with black scales, green eyes, and breathing a cone of flaming, oily acid called Vitriol, or "Baalfire". Born of the earth and holy fyres, they are immune to the fire and acid they breathe, and enjoy bathing in lava flows and volcano calderas. Dahak [2] and Zu [3] were also favored.

Unlike their divine mother and Her consorts, the dragons can be slain, although the few warriors who succeed in such as task do not live to tell the tale, burned and trampled in the bloody death throes of the dragon. Dragons were blessed by their mother and can also bear their own young, laying eggs in regions rich with volcanic basalt Dragonstone. Some say that all the child dragons are female, and that the Pendragon's consorts fertilize the eggs.

The Baal sorcerer-priests worship and serve the Pendragon and Her children, but hunt Wyrms--evil dragons who broke the faith and were corrupted by the god Tark. During the reign of the Draconian Empire, worship of the Pendragon spread to the lands and peoples all around the Dragon Sea. After a time the Pendragon and most of the dragons vanished, the empire fell and worship once again became common only among Baal. Basalt shrines to the dragons can be found all over this region, only a few of which are maintained. Some say the dragons were slain in battling the Wyrms, while others say they were victorious and sleep deep beneath the earth until needed again.

[1] Sirrush is also known as Mushrushu, Mushhushshu, or the Prince of Dragons. He is sometimes worshiped as a god in his own right.

[2] Dahak was said to sing with three voices.

[3] Zu is typically depicted as avian or blue-scaled, and breathed a bolt of lightning, perhaps as a symbol of Mrmyrm.
