“The difference between a god and a monster is the measure of their restraint.”
— Artemian, Lecture on Dominion and Blood, 211 PC

Seraph blood — the divine essence of Sol and Artemian — is the cornerstone of Draconian civilization. It bridges the celestial and the vampyric, carrying both the blessing of creation and the curse of hunger. Each drop contains the raw Lumen Vitae, the “Light of Life” that suppresses Lacunae and sustains the body’s immortal engine; Yet untempered, it overwhelms the mind, binding the drinker’s will to the Seraph’s.

For this reason, Son’Rashiidian alchemists became the unseen architects of survival — turning divine blood into a science.

The next sections will cover the three distinct eras of dosing in Maegliin Seregon.

When Sol and Artemian first ascended as Draconian Seraphs, feeding was crude necessity. Each new convert was kept sane by Sol’s own blood — administered by hand, unfiltered and unrefined. The results were miraculous but perilous:

- Lacunae suppression was total.
- Addiction and psychic merging were common.
- Every feeding bound the soul closer to Sol’s will.

To relieve her burden, the Son’Rashiidian monks of Sight devised the first Lumen Crystals, weaving Sol’s light into crystalline form. One vial of her blood, when stabilized within a crystal, could feed fifty rather than five. This innovation allowed the early Neo-Draconians to flourish without draining their Queen dry.

This marked the first convergence of science and sanctity. The Son'Rashiidians had saved the species-- and, unknowingly, founded the principles of Seraphic Alchemy.

When Sol and Artemian vanished after the failed Arcondelian campaign, the Draconian world quickly entered darkness. The loss of true Seraphic blood plunged Draconen Prime into chaos — Lacunae unchecked, hunger ungoverned, the plains burning in civil madness.

By 23 CE, desperate Son’Rashiidian alchemists synthesized the Lumen-Vitae Compound:

- Residual light drawn from dormant Lumen Crystals,
- Refined Draconian vitae,
- Sight enchantments to stabilize its humors.

It held the people together — barely. Yet it faded quickly, and withdrawal shattered the mind as much as the body.

The Jehoel Accord (111 CE)

Desperate, Son’Rashiid’s Council petitioned Arcondelial for aid. All but one Arcondelian refused to so much as hear them; luckily, the one was all that mattered:

Jehoel, the gatekeeper of Heaven and sister in spirit to Sol and true sister of Artemian, accepted out of pity and curiosity. Her blood — pure celestial essence from the moon goddess Giada — was potent yet neutral, soothing rather than intoxicating. When merged with the Lumen-Vitae Compound, it became the Jehoelian Serum, a gentle, stabilizing essence that could endure for centuries. Through her generosity and Son’Rashiidian craftsmanship, the Draconians survived.

The Maxerion Dominion (704 – 1030 CE)

When Draconian houses warred, King Maxerion seized the Reservoirs. He rationed doses to enforce loyalty, ruling by the measure of the vein. Cruel, perhaps, but his reign preserved the species through its darkest centuries.

Sol’s reincarnation and return in 1018 CE restored divine equilibrium. Jehoel, delighted to have her “siblings” back, maintained her pact; the Son’Rashiidians perfected the art.

- Sol's Sun-Seraph Blood Function: Restores vitality, strengthens hierarchy, fuels regeneration. Resonance: Solar fire, commanding warmth.

- Artemian's Shadow-Seraph Blood Function: Anchors reason, balances hunger, cools excessive radiance Resonance: Lunar shadow, contemplative stillness.

- Jehoel's Moon-Seraph Blood Function: Extends potency, removes addiction, harmonizes both. Resonance: Lunar clarity, tranquil renewal

-Son'Rashiidian Alchemy Function: Amplifies and harmonizes the triad through crystal-light infusion Resonance: Reflective equilibrium

The Tri-Seraph Compound, refined monthly within Son'Rashiid's mirrored sanctums, sustains every Draconian from the Draconian Castle to its country's borders.

You must keep in mind that all Draconians have a slightly different reaction. Saiga need dosing constantly where commoners go longer stretches in between.


The Son'Rashiidian blends slow the descent, smoothing transitions between states, preventing abrupt collapses and making the "Deprivation" state a manageable—though dangerous—state.

Castle Ceremonies: Weekly rites in Draconen Prime’s lower halls; a few Son'Rashiidian alchemists stationed within the castle track resonance signatures for each Draconian under their perview.

Plains/Mountain Distributions: Monthly at provincial shrines; citizens drink under supervision of Sight Monks.

Field Doses: Portable crystal vials issued to soldiers and emissaries, recharged via moonlight and light-mage channels.

Every dose is both medicine and oath — a renewal of loyalty to Sol and to the peace Jehoel’s compassion purchased.

In Son’Rashiidian scholarship, dosing is no longer seen as a curse to manage but a covenant to maintain. Our studies show the compound harmonizes with Seraphic resonances embedded in the bloodlines — proof that divinity and discipline can coexist.

Where once there was dependency, there is now equilibrium. Where once there was hunger, there is purpose.

“Light feeds shadow, shadow cools light. In the reflection between, civilization endures.”
— Professor Zaliel, concluding remarks.
