Manaketes

Overview
Manaketes are dragons that sealed away their powers and changed appearance and size to avoid getting hunted. They often choose to resemble elves, as if they are disguised as any other race, their ageing, or rather lack of ageing, is usualy causing them to be discovered quickly.

History
After the great war Vorugal was created to protect Arcadia against another possible invasion from Abaddon. For doing so he in return created the dragons and both took pride in their duty. Over the centuries however, incidents occurred in which dragons got accused of causing harm to the other races. A chain of events caused there after the dragon hunts, in which response the dragons chose to defend themself. However not all wanted to have to walk such a bloody path and so some dragons sealed away their powers and tried to live among the other races in secret, still awaiting the moment of their duty.

As such most are unaware of the existence of this race, but this does not necessarily mean that the Manaketes have it easier then the other dragons, as they are used to their size and also their ability to fly. A short moment of desire can often cause them to be discovered and surpressing them is also not always the best option as they can turn mad in response.

Important note
As Manaketes are a unique race among Arcadia, having the ability to transform into a dragon at will. This is also possible on the server. However, Manaketes are also considered a disapproved race in any nation! Thus they can be raided and attacked once they are discovered, leaving their only option to be either retreat or causing a slaughter, which in most cases wont end well for the Manakete. Choosing to be a Manakete means also to be more dedicated to roleplay as your gameplay would be heavily influenced the moment you use your ability at will, as it causes you to be discovered instantly if anyone sees it, thus having no secure benefit if you are only here for the gameplay.
