Leviathan's Sepulcher

Rising from the black torrent like the knuckles of some gargantuan god, the rocks stand jagged in the spray. Be it the segmented body of a serpentine stone demon or the fingers of a drowned creator, the serrated crags cut a unique horizon line in an unfriendly bay. Though if one is able to make out the carving pathway between the roaring waves, a surprisingly lavish land is within its wake.

Founders

 
A crucial core of the group is the pathway to enlightenment, and the way to reincarnation. It is believed in Draghoda lore that wolves 'dance' among each other through their skills to gain pathway to the heavens itself, where the ancients will guide their souls to the next life. Through this though, they believe that no one is alone in the world, and everyone has a partner. Romantically or platonically, to cover weakness you did not know you have and forge bonds that even the dragons themselves will look fondly upon, is the goal of a dualism, to achieve reincarnation. Those who master these are often thought to be fearless, for knowing they are safe within the next life, they show no fear in death itself.

 
To become a full-fledged member, one must take The Dive off of their sacred cliff with currently no name. To them, it is the sacrifice to take to join them, trusting in fate and the waters below itself that they will be safe. They matter not who saves near the end, for all they care for is to take the dive itself, and fall into the water. Those who do become full-fledged members, but those who have not will not be able to go to the isle unless specific circumstances does so. Furthermore, each one surviving through the trial will be given a 'nickname' or a 'code name' followed by what the current Alpha believes they stand for. Likewise, though who turn away from the dive, are then outcasted, and told of no hope to try and rejoin.

The Head
Their main role is to lead and be the face of the group, while may or may not have a partner, they are often chosen from either the previous head, or the group altogether in believing their strength. It is said an unjust leader can be overthrown at any point, the dragons do not tolerate an unstable and unsuitable leader.

The Breath
Chosen by the Alpha themselves, with or without a pair. Though if the current Beta does not have a pair, no one else will be promoted, and is waiting for the current Beta to choose his partner. They are often the ones to directly report issues to the head, and at times, they are trusted to make calls when the Alpha is not around.
