Within this unholy union the un-hatched dragon Ârangol slept in these dark chambers. <span style="font-size:9.6px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#1155cc;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">2<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> During Siege of Angband (“the Long Peace”) he hatched in a burst of sulfur flames <span style="font-size:9.6px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#1155cc;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">3<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> and there he resided in that abyss for a time. In these hell halls he grew and learned great knowledge of the workings of the world from magic, politics, to warfare. Outside of tutelage of Morgoth and his ilk he trained then a queer thing happened he pondered about Morgoth in a way not becoming of a spawn of the enemy. He is weakening. <span style="font-size:9.6px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#1155cc;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">4<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> In the darkness he planned and schemed a way. A way to save his species from destruction should Melkor lose and in the final days of the siege fled the pit known as Angband with some dragons, balrogs, and some mostly sane elves. Now why would a spawn of the enemy help the elves? Bargaining power and it paid off after Morgoth was thrusted "through the Door of Night, beyond the Walls of the World, into the Timeless Void" <span style="font-size:9.6px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#1155cc;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">5<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, where he will remain until the Last Battle/Day of Doom; was able to parlay with the opposing forces. By liberating some of the free peoples from Morgoth in which the Valar came to aid and weakening the defenses of Angbend before the fortress fell by fleeing with many dragons and balrogs they were speared. The horde led by Ârangol flew far over the Ered Luin (Blue Mountains) into land yet know to most races of middle earth.

This out of the theories of how dragons were made is the one with the least holes in it and has the interesting prospect of dragons being the spawn of Sauron or other Maiar of reptilian origins. Additionally there is no set procedure in the Maiar in having offspring.

If his appearance was when he was born he died at 42. This is unlikely so I’m reasoning he would have been alive for longer and their dragons would have been in development for awhile.

He did this so as to control the <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">hroa <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, the ‘flesh’ or physical matter, of Arda. He attempted to identify himself with it. A vaster, and more perilous, procedure, though of similar sort to the operations of Sauron with the Rings. Thus, outside the Blessed Realm, all ‘matter’ was likely to have a ‘Melkor ingredient’, and those who had bodies, nourished by the <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">hroa <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> of Arda, had as it were a tendency, small or great, towards Melkor: they were none of them wholly free of him in their incarnate form, and their bodies had an effect upon their spirits.

Sauron’s, relatively smaller, power was concentrated; Morgoth’s vast power was disseminated. The whole of Middle-earth was Morgoth’s Ring....” -Morgoth’s Ring, 399-400

He found out on how he got here and was like well then this is not going to end well. Also the lack of a malice influence and his weakening made it so this particular dragon is less savage in its dealing with others and more objective based. Still not one for fools to trifle with.

Scales like plates of armor, expansive is his chest that of the face of a mountain. Clad in black save for the cobalt smoke of fires creep from the crevices of his scales and snout. Horns of black ivory adorned upon him like a demon incarnate of the beast. Beware for a power similar to that of the Maiar can walk among elves and men...

<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:"TimesNewRoman";color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">I work hard on making it fit in the lore. Had to reread and read some books. (Morgoth's Ring is fascinating.) It is never really explained how why or what transpired that they would not pursue the dragons and Morgoth’s spawn/servants so I saw a spot and filled it. :3 The rank if already filled doesn’t have to be given as I could just be a sub faction/minor hold lore. So it resolves compatibility. Another reason is I like dragons. Best creature in mythology in my book. The scales, the fire, magic, cunning, there is so much potential with them. <ac_metadata title="Custom Character Application"> </ac_metadata>
