Editing Draconian (section)

==Failed Experiments==
No ritual gets off to a flying start immediately, and the draconians are no exception. Taladas, that oft-forgotten "lost land" of Krynn, is where you go to point and laugh at Takhisis' failures.

Initial experiments with brass dragon eggs produced the Traags, a lazy and cowardly race of pseudo-draconians whose lackluster drive for combat, low "birth rate," and tendency to fly into uncontrollable blood-lust fuelled rages when in combat made them distinctly less than a success.

Another round of experiments, conducted on silver dragon eggs, produced the Sesk. These intelligent but physically frail and deformed creatures were too weak to make effective fighters and too reluctant to accept orders. Sesk was introduced in [[DLA1-2-3:_Taladas_series|DLA1]], a Taladas adventure and not much picked up on elsewhere.

Once the ritual was refined, and the first true draconians were produced, the surviving Traags and Sesk were simply abandoned on the flaming-dumpster semi-continent, where they have eked out a living ever since. The Traag are making a decent go of it in [[Taladas#Aurim|Old Aurim]]; they've organized themselves well enough for that and may even have sussed out how to make more of themselves. The Sesk, by contrast, are rare and presumably moribund.

Pseudo-draconians have no inherent magic and can't even trigger the Death Throes power of their successful kin; Traags dissolve into a puddle of smelly slime upon death, whilst Sesk are reduced to a small mound of silvery dust.
