More so even than their chromatic and metallic kin, gem dragons are fascinated with cultivating their dragonsight and fusing the awareness of their echoes across the Material Plane. Some of them believe that, by doing so, they are taking steps toward reuniting the shattered consciousness of Sardior the Ruby Dragon, and they pursue this awakening as an act of near-religious devotion. Others seek to exploit their knowledge of the many worlds of the Material Plane as a source of power-and indeed, a gem dragon who becomes a greatwyrm has access to almost unimaginable power. Gem greatwyrms' ascension transforms their bodies to appear as crystal, their scales sparkling like diamonds. Their breath weapons become powerful waves of crushing force that can stop almost any creature in its tracks. But the greatwyrms' most powerful ability is telekinesis on an unparalleled scale-a gem greatwyrm can telekinetically seize an entire crowd, then carry those helpless folk off to the dragon's lair. Sardior's Greatwyrms Five gem greatwyrms call themselves the thanes of Sardior and believe themselves responsible for preserving the memory of their long-lost progenitor. These greatwyrms are named Aleithilithos (an amethyst greatwyrm), Hrodel (a crystal greatwyrm), Smargad (an emerald greatwyrm), Charsima (a sapphire greatwyrm), and Tithonnas (a topaz greatwyrm). Each thane is actively seeking out their echoes across the worlds of the Material Plane, hoping to merge with these other dragons, with the goal of eventually uniting themselves to re-form the great Ruby Dragon. The thing I miss most about Sardior is the thing no gem greatwyrm will ever reproduce: the witty anecdotes. Which were, I grant you, mostly about me.
