Born from Nether, Argent is the element of metal, which represents honesty, confidence and pride. They are quite lively, with a never-ending supply of self confidence. Often strong minded and gifted with vigorous personalities, they are highly intellectual and very quick to take advantage of any chance life throws at them.

​

Argent dragons discover their element usually when they wish to create something, and accidentally draw from any metal around them and shape it to their thoughts into something very basic and simple like a cube or an orb. It is not uncommon for hatchlings to awaken to their element while playing with toys or out in the open as they try to build things.

This element is primarily used via manipulation, and solely from existing sources outside of the dragon itself, but it can also be breathed in a hot stream of air that can heat metal up and aid in shaping.

​

Argent dragons manipulate the metal in the world with great ease, as one would shape clay, and with the help of a heat source they can manipulate it in liquid form as well, making the possibilities near-endless. However, the manipulation of metal is an inherently difficult form of magic, and takes a great deal of energy: the larger the supply of metal being utilised and the density of the alloy take greater amounts of power, and may exhaust younger and less experienced dragons much faster than their elders.

The finesse of how these metals are shaped also costs concentration and energy, especially keeping alloys pure or crafting distinct items. Some Argent dragons specialize in certain alloys they find easier to manipulate than others, though training is usually generalized and any metal can be used to certain degrees.

​

They also are able to manipulate it into armor and weapons, or even projectiles at higher masteries. Most are capable of pulling existing pure alloys and shape them with relative ease, by way of levitation or crude but brief shaping. Anything that takes finesse is often approached by older dragons with higher levels of experience, and thus true smithing is a field dominated by those who have worked with their elements for many years.

​

Their element, which normally cannot be classified by color due to its physical nature, displays a soft color glow when breathed, or around affected metals when being manipulated.

​

They hail from the Copper Deserts, currently under the leading House of Argent Claw under a favorable yet neutral imperial reign.

​

They tend to dwell within grand stone cities, set in place without regard for the land around them, and of all dragons they are most prone to alter the lay of the land to suit their needs, instead of working with the land to build.
