Shame and virtue among the dragonkin

Dragonkin society, like many religious communities, is controlled and dictated by subtle rewards and penalties from the community. Shame is apportioned when you (or more rarely a member of your family) performs some act contrary to the will of the community, and virtue is granted when you perform some act of extraordinary good.

Dragonkin and the Afterlife

Dragonkin tend to focus on the physical rather than the spiritual. However, even they cannot deny the existence, albeit very rare, of dragonkin ghosts that manifest around their cities. The fact that those ghosts that do manifest report it is very hard to achieve this is felt to explain the low numbers, particularly when combined with the fact that the ghosts report they too are waiting for the return of the dragons.

Demons

Origins

No living creature (dragonkin, Dae'vol, or human) really knows how demons came about. As such, speculating about the 'creation' of demons is a popular distraction for bored mages and sorcerers. Those attempting to move from theory into fact run into a big problem: no one wants to talk. Gods ignore such questions as far beneath their dignity. Demons seem to treat such questions as invitations to spin wild yarns; often giving entirely different stories to the same person on different days.

Eirwin's Story

And it came to pass that they were losing.

The gods and dragons had poured their strength against Primus, the first and greatest of the Chaos Giants. And they had come up short.

Licking their wounds they turned back.

Surrounded by the bodies of their fallen dead, Luxor turned to Eirwin and Illuyanka the dragon and he asked for a new plan.

Eirwin had never been a warrior, when others had supped on the might of the Chaos Giants, Eirwin had feasted on their knowledge. He smiled sadly at Luxor and told him the plan.
