Summary:

Two different lives. Two difficult pasts. Two reluctant journeys that will soon become one.

In the northern mountains of Ered Mithrin a shape-shifter and a woman travel... Alagos has avoided the Rishten for most of his life, but now finds he can't escape the bond-pull or the person it is insistently trying to connect him to - Gwelutarien. He's run from his past for so many years and held on to bitterness for so long...is he even capable of finding peace or forgiving? As the shape-shifter grows closer to his destination and fulfilling a demand given by his gift, it is inevitable that he will soon find out.

In Gondor, Minas Tirith... Kahilnar has never been more confused - or scared, though, he won't admit it - in his life. The dragoness Sharpmist has revealed to him a bond between them that he despises, a bond that his people would kill him over if they knew. The Haradrim princess, Nusayya, has given him a 'gift' that only brings him further pain as he struggles to to understand what it tells him and why he suddenly has it. And if those two situations were not bad enough; his own younger brother is out to kill him for the right to the throne, a right that Kahilnar doesn't even want. Caught between his family and the Northerners, the enemy of his people, Kahilnar has to learn very quickly to trust those around him...no matter how foreign that trust feels.

And to the East... A dark menace, as yet undetected, blooms slowly like a flower after the rain, stealthily stretching its arms over the land and suffocating all in its path....

O Emlyg

meaning: Of Dragons. The third installment to the Dragon's of Arda series. Written parallel with Herves ar Iell.

Universe: Alternate Universe
Rating: K+ - T
Characters: Voronflame, Morroch, Alagos and many new faces.
Genre: Romance/Drama
Warning: Mild Cursing, Violence

Summary:

Morroch is on his own now and heading toward Ered Mithrin with Voronflame, the fire dragon, to meet the Dragon Clan. Alagos is following in the shadows and Morroch can't help but wonder if he has made the right decision in seeing his kin. He knows only time will tell him if he's made a mistake.

Meanwhile, in a small human village trouble is stirring and both children and dragonlings are going missing. Neither species knows what is going on, where their children are or who is taking them, and tempers and accusations are starting to flare between the two races...

Rhûnic

This language is much like the language of Harad in its pronunciations, but does have a flavor all its own. The Rhûnic tongue is complex and has evolved over time, taking on certain characteristics of the languages around the land of Rhûn. There is some Haradaic that the Easterlings have made their own and even dashes of elven mixed into their tongue.

Most of this language is ENTIRELY MADE UP by me, while other smaller bits are taken from the Arabic language. If there are any words you recognize it is most likely a coincidence or the result of mild studying on my part. LOL

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nikryrq = Sand lizard

Rovin(a) = Great Teeth (the Rhûnic name for a dragon)

Jaryn = Halfbreed - A human loyal to a dragon, an insult literally meaning "Half-dragon". It is unsure which people, the South or the East, started using this word first

Jarkirn = Halfbreed - An insult to humans, deprived from the root word "Jara" meaning "half". The literally translation for Jarkirn is "Half-human"

Roniysr = Heart of the People

Al-Salyha = Scepter, Kingdom of the Scepter (Eastern Kingdom)

Ar-Hihn = Warrior, Kingdom of the Warrior (Northern Kingdom)

Ak-Jnab = Falcon, Kingdom of the Falcon (Southern Kingdom)

Ab-Gribyl = Guard, Kingdom of the Guard (Western Kingdom)

Bryn = Hot

Baya = Fiery

Gleritar = Singing Forest

Bik Grov o Dolo = Wild Trees of Shadow

Ceplina = Swift River

Rocnai = Family

Nahiysa = Shy One, Special One

Ancients

As with "Dragon Sizes", I felt this information deserved its own post.

Ancients

Ancients are the leaders of the dragons. They are the decision-makers in the Dragon Clan. Many are old, but an Ancient can be a young as a Kinwa. There are nine Ancients, one for each type of dragon, though, not all Ancients are of pure blood. They live relatively normal lives, being allowed to have a mate, dragonlings and step down from their positions if a to-be Ancient is ready to take their place. An Ancient will sometimes change the first part of their name when they settle into their new position. Example: Celestream was once known as Calmstream.

Fire Ancient: Voronflame

Battle Ancient: Seregon

Earth Ancient: Rosclaw

Treasure Ancient: Emeraldsong

Water Ancient: Celestream

Sky Ancient: Mirwind

Shape-shifter Ancient (in the past): Menelecho

Knowledge Ancient: Wiseheart

Messenger Ancient: Quickscale

---------------------------------------------

Ancients to-be

Dragons or dragonlings that are called to be Ancients from birth, but are not ready or are unable to take the role of an Ancient at a certain point in their lives. As you can see, some of the Ancient roles are not filled. This fact is so because that race of dragon is dying out or because a to-be Ancient has simply not yet been born. Some to-be Ancients will be older then others.

Battle:

Earth: Leaf (heart)

Treasure: Topazfang

Water: Oceanclaw

Sky: Wind (walker)

Shape-shifter:

Knowledge: Writtenword

Messenger: Fast (moon)

Dragon Sizes

I was looking back on my posts and I decided that these details deserved a post of their own...

1. Fire Dragons. Their size is massive - about the size of a siege tower, maybe a bit smaller.

2. Battle Dragons. These dragons actually range between numbers 2 and 6 on the dragon scale. They can be slightly smaller then a Fire Dragon or about the size of a Sky Dragon and anywhere in between.

3. Earth Dragons. They are gentle giants, about 2.5 times the the size of mountain troll.

4. Treasure Dragons. Their size is big, too, as they are only slightly smaller then an Earth Dragon.

5. Water Dragons. These dragons are surprisingly small, being about the size of two semi-trucks - more in length then height.

6. Sky Dragons. They are no bigger then one semi-truck - for both height and length.

7. Sand Dragons. These dragons are no bigger than one semi-truck and usually a bit smaller than that.

8. Shape-shifter Dragons. These dragons (when in dragon form) range from between the size of a u-haul truck to the size of a simple pick-up truck.

9. Knowledge Dragons. Their size is between a pick-up truck and a small car.

10. Vy-kror Dragons. Their size is that of a small car and they are longer than they are tall.

11. Messenger Dragons. They are the smallest dragons, being only about the size of a small car or large horse.

12. Char-pyk Dragons. They are either slightly bigger or slightly smaller than messenger dragons, being about the size of a large horse.

13. Halfbreeds. These dragons range in sizes as much as they do in temperament and ability. A Halfbreed dragon's size is usually based on which type of dragon they relate to more, but this is not always the case.
