(useless dragon information go)
There are only as many dragons as there are people in the world. One dragon exists for its person and its person only; when a dragon's riders perishes, so does the dragon. There are no dragon breeders, because dragons cannot breed; they come into existence from the psyches of their riders, and can communicate telepathically with them. When they're not needed, they simply dematerialize back into their rider, and can be called forth when needed.
Normal people to not usually find a need for dragons, seeing as they are used primarily for offense and defense, so they typically do not materialize their dragon. It's still there, however, in their head. Dragons only materialize in a time of great need, when its person is
in mortal danger; after it has materialized for the first time, it can be called forth as many times as needed at will.
Using a dragon is not easy. Having one materialize is terribly demanding on both the mental and physical capabilities of its rider. The first time a dragon is materialized, the adrenaline rush usually takes care of the energy needed for it to come out, but the next time is incredibly difficult. Most military users of dragons fall into one of two categories of dragon riders. One includes the people who have natural talent, and can already automatically materialize their dragon without strain. The second includes the people who train day and night to become masters of dragonriding.
Some adept dragon riders can keep their dragons materialized for over a month, but usually collapse after such a feat.
Famous dragonriders and their dragons of our time include Princess Katherine of Forcena and Netteté, Christopher of Pleiades and Chrétien, and the Overlord and Clairallume.
Dragons are usually a reflection of their rider's personality and accordingly have similar colorings.
