Few remember the true origins of this elemental reptilian race prior to the war of the Great Fae. Ancient lore tells of a massive army of Firedrakes under the command of Ashoreus, the Winnowing Flame of Purity and one of the thirteen Great Fae. When Lishtraka and her army of Pain Elementals defeated Ashoreus, he sacrificed himself to conceal the remaining Firedrake eggs on Midgaard. These eggs remained in stasis for the better part of Midgaardia's history but recently they have begun to hatch and the race has been reborn.

Though elemental in form, many of these young Firedrakes whisper of the path they must undertake to reclaim their birthright and unlock the secret of their past. They possess many reptilian characteristics, which become more pronounced as they mature.

This is an evolutionary race. They can go through changes at the following levels once they decide to evolve and have acquired the necessary knowledge:

Level 25->Hero(1)->Hero(250)->Hero(500)->Hero(750)->Lord(1)->Lord(250)->Lord(500)

Continued growth without evolving into a new form will become more difficuly until obtaining further experience becomes completely impossible.

Comments

Firedrakes at high evolution get the largest damage mod in the game. They also get huge hp and good mana. However, their dexterity is low (one less than hum at med and hi evolves) and their stealth is very bad (so bad that nightcloak doesn't compensate). Their casting at lowmort is atrocious and only improves late into the hero tier.

Firedrakes have to automorph, they can't morph early. Evolving removes worship and rerolls their stats, and for this reason experience boosting gods such as Werredan or Shizaga are recommended until later tiers.

Evolutions all revolve around quests. With firedrakes these start with Ashoreus.

• Level 25: Find Ashoreus in Kingdom Of The Willows (portable). As soon as you walk in the room he will talk. Nothing else needs to be done.
• Hero 1: Find Ashoreus. He will tell you to get an egg from Citadel Of Arcanists. Find and kill Ithonng. Take the egg back to Ashoreus. (The firedrake must get the first hit in on Ithonng for the egg to show up.)
• Hero 250: Find Ashoreus. He will talk to you about a friend's soul shard. Help the Hospice Director with attacks from rogue assassins (bring some big area casters) to get a contract to get the shard and return the shard to Ashoreus.
• Hero 500:See Ashoreus. He will ask you to go to Veil Of Ecstasy to kill pain elementals. They're in the nightmares portion of the area (on scan as a ball of electricity). There is also Torture, father of the pain elementals. Kill all of them within a repop and get the item the drops from the last one. Give it to Ashoreus and evolve. Note that the elementals are sneaking, so you can't use where to find them, unless you have alertness.
• Hero 750: Find Ashoreus. He will tell you to seek Greigon for a challenge to retrieve an elemental orb. This is the same as Pyro Imp Evolution Quest. Bring the orb of the firmament back to Ashoreus.
• Lord 1: Bring Ashoreus the small crystal shard from Soulchar Desolation.
  Deep within my Citadel located in the Soulchar Desolation, there lies an artifact from my reign. A small crystal shard containing the stolen essence of one of Lichtraka's ceations. You must find this shard and bring it to me. Once I have it, then I shall have enough power to break loose the beginnings of your own true form. Be very cautious though. My guardians will not know you for my servants they are just mindless golems.
