The heart of goodness is always focused outside itself, and so Bahamut desired to further communicate his character in his creation. He sought to create a being that would be greater than anything else in all the creation – a being in his own image. Out of the heavens, Bahamut picked the brightest star, and molding it, he gave birth to the drakonai, or dragons as they are commonly known – the eldest race.

 

The dragons were beasts of great size, strength, and beauty. Appearing in the likeness of Bahamut, they resembled serpents of massive proportion, with both limbs and wings. Their scales were as hard as mountains and were found in all colors of creation. Their breath was as hot as the fires of the many suns throughout the heavens. The dragons

were the first created being that learned to communicate with one another through speech. They were full of wisdom and always acted in goodness and truth. Both beautiful and terrible to behold, the sight of even one of the dragons was enough to inspire awe in any beast. And unlike anything else in all creation, dragons were immortal.

 

Bahamut was most pleased with his new race. He enjoyed them so much that he would often take on the physical form of one of them, so that he might be in direct contact and communication with them, and enjoy his worlds from their perspective.
