Resurrection Dragon (Young, Spellcaster)
Creature 8 — divine, dragon
WeaverAnvilLANDAERIALdragondivine
Resurrection dragons teeter between life and death. They have a mastery of vital energies, allowing them to restore life to the dead, and a mastery of void energies, to bestow death on others. They make use of their abilities to play with the lives of mortals, calling on spirits to aid them or reviving creatures they find important or interesting. The lair of a resurrection dragon is generally a barren place. While they still hoard wealth like other dragons, they do little to decorate their lair
