Lithir Dragon

General Description: created only very recently, the lithir dragons are still very few in numbers and due to that those currently in existence are still quite young, it
is difficult to say exactly what talents they may turn out to be in possession of. A result of one of the more successfull lenthean experiments that is being done
to bring back the Ea dragons, lithir dragons may be small, but they are bred for independence and do therefore form a much lighter mental bond with their person than any lenthean dragon is capable of-- it is also believed that a lithir dragon can leave his or her person permanently without harmfull effects. Of basic appearance, the lithir dragons resemble the blue Ea dragon the most, but they come in all the colors of the lenthean dragons-- although genders have been reversed. Small and light of build, the lithirs are extremely fast and agile, and they seem to be in possession of a extraordinary endurance-- they are capable of participate in games that can last for hours and that would exhaust any lenthean dragon. This with no ill effects except for a ravenous appetite afterwards. While lithir dragons are just as intelligent as the Ea dragons was believed to be, they are still quite playfull and they seem to be quite interested in the doings of the humanoid races-- always wanting to learn more about them and other things in the culture of each of those races. However, it did not take long before it was discovered that the lithir dragons had a unusual talent-- cryomancy, and further -*test*-('")s revealed that they also had a talent for geomancy, while they were pathetically weak in pyromancy and aeromancy. Their telepathy was as strong as any gold lenthean's however, and they also had some minor talent in telekinesis.

Mental Abilities: while quite intelligent, young lithir dragons are also very trusting, in fact they are unable to imagine that anyone would harm them or use them ot harm others. However, while they more or less grow out of this trust with age and experience, it is all too easy to get a youngling to use its talent to do great harm to an are-- therefore their existence is mostly kept a secret and the control on who gets one is extremely strict.
