Aldarions

Aldarions are a fictional species that appear in the fantasy novel "The Dragon Prince" by author Steven T. Hughes. They are described as a race of sentient beings with a deep connection to nature and ancient magic. Physically, Aldarions are depicted as tall and slender, with skin that can range in color from earthy browns to pale greens, often adorned with intricate patterns that mimic natural foliage. Their eyes are typically large and expressive, reflecting a wisdom that comes from long lifespans, as Aldarions are known to live for centuries.

The Aldarion society is organized around a council of elders who guide their communities. They are known for their peaceful nature and their commitment to preserving the balance of the natural world. Their culture emphasizes harmony with their environment, and they possess a profound understanding of herbalism, animal husbandry, and the elemental forces. Magic is an integral part of Aldarion life, with individuals often specializing in different forms of arcane practice, such as druidic arts or nature-based sorcery. They are often depicted as living in secluded, arboreal settlements, blending seamlessly with the forests and mountains they inhabit. While generally reclusive, Aldarions have been known to interact with other races, particularly when the natural world or ancient powers are threatened.
