Editing Draken History (section)

==== Faith and Religion ====

The Skyholder Clan worships the same god as the Bone Clan, but they interpret his will very differently. To them, Kre'har the Benevolent is not a god of domination, but ascension. They believe that dragons are sacred, the closest beings to divinity, and that through protecting and studying them, they may one day be granted wings and rise beyond the earth.

Within their society, they are tasked as guardians of deceased dragon remains and abandoned eggs. They ensure that no dragon is forgotten, keeping their bones hidden from scavengers and their eggs safe from harm. Their belief holds that by taking on this protective role, the Skyholders will one day be elevated beyond their mortal forms, bridging the gap between Draken and dragonkind, earning the gift of flight as their ultimate reward.

Their faith stems from two interpretations of an ancient record of the First Dragon, though the full meaning of this text is a subject of great debate among their scholars. Some believe that dragons were once gods themselves, and that their fall from divinity mirrors the Draken's own journey. Others believe that dragons are messengers of Kre'har, and that only through devotion and understanding will the Skyholder Clan be granted their place among them.
