Of the myriad dragon species that inhabit the sunken world of Dragongorge, the paradise dragons are surely the most dazzling. 

  Resplendent in his coat of many colors is Shyira, the paladris. Paladris, like the other paradise dragons, belong to the family of  sky dancers. It is a rare and wondrous sight to steal a secret glimpse of the brilliant Shyira and his rivals as they soar and dive before an audience of females on the cliffs, displaying their rainbow majesty and aerial prowess. Like giant, fabulous kites they twist and spiral on the surging draughts, flourishing wings and crests of bold and iridescent colors.
