You begin to read the ancient book about dragon bonding. The ritual is written in an ancient language but somehow you manage to understand it:

I call the Raven Black of eye, Black of wing Lord of Forethought, and Afterthought! This is the White dawn I conjure, O People This is The East I conjure This is Her Living Breath I Conjure And this is the making of the world

I call The Wolf Red eyed and White fang Lord of desire and passion! This is the Red Noon of Day I conjure, O people! This is the South I conjure This is Her Living Blood I conjure and this is the Making of the World

I call the Silkie Seal of the Sea, Woman of the Land Lady of Mystery and Transformation This is the Blue Twilight I conjure, O People! This is The West I conjure This is Her Living Blood, I Conjure And this is The Making of the World

I call The Dragon Old and Grim, Mountain Bones Lord of Strength and Power! This is The Midnight Hour I conjure, O People! This is The North I conjure This is Her Living Body I conjure And this is the Making of the World

Come for the Bond That is yet Unbroken Come for the Sake of Kinship

Ancient Ones, Old ones Rules of The Elemental Realms You who are With us

I call The Dragon Old and Grim, Mountain Bones Lord of Strength and Power!

Come for the Bond That is yet Unbroken Come for the Sake of Kinship

A draconian is a very special being that is created via a ritual where a human bonds with a dragon. This ritual grants, if successful, great power and nigh immortality to the human performing it. The transfiguration is painstakingly difficult and takes months to complete, but as it progresses, the human gradually blends together with the dragon and his physical appearance changes to be more and more dragon-like.

Very few real draconians are known to exist in the world. A common misunderstanding is that baaz, bozak, sivak, aurak and kapaks are draconians. A fully developed draconian looks more like a dragon than a human. They have heavy bodies, reptilian snouts and a thick tails similar to lizards. Often these creatures even start walking on four legs instead of two, though they still retain the use of their hands without difficulty.

The kind of draconian you become heavily depends on what dragon you bond with. This bond has to be nourished continuously, lest the draconian lose their powers. Despite their origins, not all draconians are bound to the path of evil. There are neutral and even good aligned specimens, but the bond they share with the source of their power has can have a subtle warping influence .. slowly causing them to drift towards bitterness and even psychosis. Perhaps for this reason many draconians develop crude behavior and perverse desires as personality traits.
