Alright, a little context time, probably a bit of story time too.

Sometimes on Twitter I'll write little dragon scenarios and worldbuilding that I can't seem to draw out at my glacial pace, nor get commissioned with my light wallet. I notice Easter comes around and I want to do one related to it, but I feel it awkward doing Easter in a world which while the holiday is based in Christianity, the world has tangible gods. These tangible gods I basically ripped off the ones from DnD (Io, then Bahamut and Tiamat), and gave my own spin on them. This is where I find a blurb that says that Vorel was Io's creation earlier than Bahamut and Tiamat, more innocent than the two but still loved by Io all the same. Indeed, just as it is there, the feud between Bahamut and Tiamat builds because of the latter's jealousy over the former giving so much love and attention towards Vorel, and just the same Tiamat kills Vorel and frames Bahamut, but Io knows all and banishes her. Just the same, this starts many years of rift and history between Tiamat's chromatic dragon army and that of Bahamut's metallics.

Here is where D&D and I converge: Fast forward to the waning days of the medieval era. Many wars, famine, strife, and glory not only of dragons but of many races later; but now the Black Death has come and ravaged the medieval population all over. Tensions between dragons and humans already strained, for the next couple of centuries humans would start hunting down dragons in a fever pitch, metallic and chromatic alike. Indeed, a weary Tiamat, her cunning and evil worn down by the changing times, does what she previously thought unthinkable; go to Io's temple and ask for his and Bahamut's forgiveness in one last desperate gambit, knowing full well that she had done too much over the many ages to warrant it. However, Io and Bahamut are more than forgiving, the latter willing to open his heart back up even to the most intense of rivals. Bahamut and Tiamat embrace, and Vorel's ghost appears to them; he also embraces the dragons and especially Tiamat. Vorel then offers to be resurrected as an egg as a token of his forgiveness, and Tiamat, though unfamiliar with feelings of love and motherhood, accepts. The desperate gambit is a success: Bahamut and Tiamat create a new distant world along with Io, with many diverse landscapes, double the size of Earth, and several smaller moons.

Once they get to the new world, Tiamat lays the egg, and sometime later, Vorel hatches anew and begins his second chance at life. This signals a fresh start for both Tiamat and Vorel, and of dragons as a whole; distinction between chromatic and metallic becomes blurred, and both types live together, beget each other, and enjoy their company (of course, some factions that resent this union will exist, but that's another story for another time). Indeed, she raises him as her son, learning how to love and how to be a mother. And they visit Bahamut, and even Io, a lot, too!

Vorel, being a dragon god, focuses on renewal and of new life, as well as being a patron saint of childhood too; many holidays that celebrate these concepts he loves to celebrate as well, and involve stories involving him and the elder dragon gods. Some say his adoration for bunnies is the source of the dragon world's concept of Easter, or in some places within known as "Voreltide". While his scales are light blue and silver, they give off a bit of a rainbow sheen; his pupils, horns, footpads, sails of his wings, etc. shine with each known color and possible dragon color; the tailtip is diamond on one side, spade/heart on another, club on another, signifying the possible tailtips dragons can have. Dragon gods have a special birthmark which can sometimes be hard to see, but is prominent somewhere on his body; Vorel's is of a dragon's egg right by the base of his tail. While he's been alive for several hundred dragon years (also as long as the dragon world has been around), he maintains an innocent and childlike mindset, and very rarely seen outside of a whelp form.

So of course, it's very hard to translate all of this when you're working with colored pencils, but I hope this does it well enough. Hope you enjoy!
