Arvearet

Arvearet is a species of dragons, that is said to be a blessing from the gods themselves. They are few as they rarely breed due to an incredible long life-span. The very first Arvearet was born around year 403, and just recently died due to murder, so it's predicted they can live a lot longer.

They are known by having four legs, as well as two arms. Ears can also very often be found on them

Lifespan
Because of their very long lifespans they also grow a lot slower, an Arvearet, tend to be in their childhood for at least 80 years, whereafter they will reach teenage years, which can take between, 100-200 years if not longer. After that the Arvearet is said to be immortal, as they rarely age after reaching what seems to be 20 or so years.

History
Arvearet is a rather new race, all considered, they showed up in the year 403, where the very first one was born. Since then they have been born few and in-between as they seem to have little drive to breed, nor do their offspring often result in an Arvearet itself.

The very first Arvearet have seen the rise and fall of all the Purple dragons, except Spyro and Malefor. He have been in countless wars and had a good memory as well, he became a scholar because of this, a lot of the knowledge known in current time is because of him.

Population
There's very few Arvearet in the world, there's speculations that there's a little as 10.000 left to this date. Much of it is their own choice of not breeding enough, and their low changes of getting an offspring.

Two Arvearet can breed, however there's still only a 50/50 change it'll be an Arvearet. They also tend to have still-births a lot of times, resulting in many female's not wanting to even try.
