3Drakenteiden

3Drakenteiden is a fictional concept used in speculative fiction and role-playing settings to describe a triadic, dragon-like collective. The term denotes three cooperating beings that function as a single intelligible entity, often described as guardians or custodians of a larger system. In many narratives, the triad operates across space and time, coordinating adjacent intelligences and technologies through a shared cognition.

The name blends numerals with a root drawn from the setting's constructed language; the numeral three signals the triadic nature, while Drakenteiden evokes dragons or drakes.

Physically, each member is described as a dragon-like entity with luminescent scales, three eyes, and energy wings. They are linked by a neural mesh that enables near-instantaneous communication and pooled memory, effectively forming a single sentient network when united.

In the lore, the 3Drakenteiden act as guardians of an interstellar data lattice known as the Aether Grid. They regulate information flow, encryption, and crisis response, and they can intervene in both digital and physical domains when balance or safety is threatened.

Culturally, the triad appears as a powerful symbol in in-universe art, temples, and treaties. It is invoked in rites of passage and disaster lore and is often associated with cycles of renewal and transformation.

Origin myths vary: some texts claim the triad predates civilization, while others suggest they emerged from a cataclysm that fused dragonkind with the grid. Authors differ on whether the 3Drakenteiden are benevolent guardians, aloof overseers, or something in between.
