Editing Emerald Dragon

[[File:Durzibethinus.png|thumb|[[Durzibethinus]] is the [[Ruby Court#Resurrected Court|Emerald Thane of Sardior]], the paragon of Emerald Dragons following their reemergence in the realm.]]
'''Emerald [[Dragon|Dragons]]''' are a type of [[Gemstone Dragon]] with extraordinary psychic abilities that make them masters of illusions and trickery.

== Appearance ==
The Emerald Dragon has a lithe, serpentine-like body ideal for tunneling into underground caverns and slithering through dense forests. At first glance, they are sometimes mistaken for one of their [[Green Dragon|Chromatic Green]] cousins—but they can be identified by their lustrous, emerald scales which undulate across their slender form and are caught adrift in their psionic aura once shed…congealing into brilliant, spiny shards that float along their back and head to suggest horns as an added intimidation display.

== Abilities ==
The Emerald Dragon possesses a psychic disruption breath weapon which can disorient or shred the mind of anyone unlucky enough to be licked by its flames. Their reclusive temperament does not dull their keen curiosity, so they will often study the outside world by scrying from the safety of their lairs…either through fire originating from their lairs or with any other means they have access to. Amongst other [[Gemstone Dragon]] types, they bond most easily with [[Sapphire Dragon|Sapphire Dragons]] as they will perform reconnaissance to support the battle-minded [[Sapphire Dragon|Sapphire's]] war plans when faced with a perceived mutual threat.

== Notable Emerald Dragons ==

=== [[Feredemius]] ===
The progenitor of Emerald Dragons—all emerald beings are said to share his Feredemic blood—he served [[Sardior]] on the [[Ruby Court]] prior to the god's shattering in [[Prehistory]] and eventually fell into a destructive, hedonistic existence…resulting in his imprisonment beneath the [[Northern Snowy Mountains]] where he became corrupted by underground rifts leaking [[The Shadowfell|Shadowfell]] energies and took up the mantle of [[The One That Waits]].

=== [[Durzibethinus]] ===
The [[Dragonborn]]-turned-[[Dragon]] who ascended to become the new [[Ruby Court#Resurrected Court|Emerald Thane]] as a consequence of his role in [[The Battle of Five Lights]], a fight which saw the defeat of the corrupted [[Feredemius]] and the resurrection of [[Sardior]]—the god of [[Gemstone Dragon|Gemstone Dragons]].

=== [[Smargarg]] ===
A young Emerald Dragon who had set up his lair in a subterranean temple—built to [[Feredemius]] in ancient times—also using it to operate a hatchery for [[Gemstone Dragon]] eggs.
