Editing Age of Dragons: Chimerical Dragons (section)

==Lifepaths and the Chimerical Dragons==

It often surprises other breeds to discover that the ''Chimericals'' are fiercely intellectual, and that to be a [[Age of Dragons: Scholar-Sage|Scholar-Sage]] is a common goal. The ''Chimericals'' seek to make sense out of the madness that surrounds them, even as they accept it, and many recognise that knowledge and lore provide the answers. The ''Children of the Feathered Serpent'' collect lore and information of all sorts, from arcane spells to seemingly useless tidbits of information. The ''Cartographers of the Unmappable Realm'' are prophets and historians, and students of the "tides of lucidity" that represent their breeds communal madnesses.

Other Lifepaths are sometimes followed by ''Chimericals'', but it often seems as if they are simply studying the way of life rather than properly engaging in it, and their emphasis is always on the collection of knowledge. For example, a ''Chimerical'' who takes to a life of trading will trade goods for lore, and lore for goods. 

The ''Chimericals'' don't believe that they have to (or are able to) understand the dream world that is reality, but they understand that they have to seek to do so to even exist.
