The Book of Temples Chapter 23

Glory and Ruin wrote the formula used to make fetal dragons. A dragon’s body consists of metal ore, gems and liquid rock. They are built and drowned deep inside magma where the body can seize life. Centuries must pass while they incubate. The process is slow and long. When birthing is near, the mountain erupts a dragon from caldera. The Child God foresaw that newborn dragons were too large for their temple. They could not enter nor walk underground where their People made their homes. Glory and Ruin devised a method with which the dragons could change. A dragon at will can shift their body to change into a human. Though weak in this form armored hide withdrawn dragons could live with people.
