== Overview ==
Dragons have lived in [[Alagaësia]] since ancient times with the [[Alagaësia#Dwarves|Dwarves]]. The skin of a Dragon is nearly impenetrable, though the thin membrane of the wings can be easily pierced. Their scales glitter like gems, although each Dragon only has one scale color. They also have the same eye color as their scales, and their teeth and neck spikes are bone white. The Dragons breath flame the color of their scales, and some can impressively hold the flame for over an hour. The older the dragon grows, the longer they can hold the flame. They never stop growing until their death.
[[Image:Eragon_Saphira_Poster.jpg|250px|thumb|300px|Saphira, the dragon protagonist of the series, as shown in the [[Eragon (film)|film version]] of ''Eragon''.]]
Since the Dragons are bound to Alagaësia, they possess magical properties. Strange things seem to happen around Dragons - people live longer, the earth changes, and things of that nature, yet no one knows how it happens. It is possible these things happen because the Dragon's magic, which permeates every inch of their body. They cannot willingly use their magic, except for their fire. However, when using magic, their strength is unparalleled.
 
== History ==
For articles that just need [[wikify|wikification]], you should use the <nowiki>{{wikify}}</nowiki> template. See [[:Category:Articles that need to be wikified]] for articles that need wikifying.
Before the formation of the Dragon Riders, a young elf hunted and killed a dragon like it was a common animal. The Dragons banded together and furiously attacked the Elves, leading into war.
 
Five years into the war, an Elf called [[Eragon I|Eragon]] found a white Dragon egg and raised the hatchling within, naming him Bid'Daum ; it was they who stopped the war, allowing peace to follow. In order to prevent another war, the Dragons connected their souls with the Elves, changing both races. Dragons gained the use of language and other trappings of civilization, as well as becoming less fierce. Since Humans came afterwards, the Human Riders were never affected by the Dragons as greatly as the Elves were.
If an article needs further cleaning up, add <nowiki>{{cleanup}}</nowiki> to the top of the article. To see articles with this tag added, see [[:Category:Cleanup]]
 
== As mounts for Dragon Riders ==
Some editors prefer that helpers work on [[Wikipedia:Cleanup/Leftovers|leftovers]] and older articles, just to deal with them and get them out of the way. See the cleanup calendar for requests from previous months. But either preference, new or old; all help is appreciated. If you have a cleanup routine, add your name and your routine preferences (how often, old/new articles, what subjects, etc ) to '''[[/Routine|the cleanup routine list]].'''
The few Humans and Elves who ride Dragons like the Elf [[Eragon I]] are aptly called [[Dragon Riders]]. Dragons give their Riders "shining palms," a silver mark, or the "[[gedwey ignasia]]" as a result of the first physical contact between rider and dragon. Dragons communicate telepathically with their Riders, and house incredible magic that can combine with that of the Rider. Dragons are immortal and can also allow their Riders to be nearly immortal; old age will seldom kill them, although wounds or poison can. Over time the link between the dragon and rider will change the rider's appearance.

'''Glaedr''' (Pronounced Glay-Dur) is a male golden [[Dragon (Inheritance)|dragon]] in [[Christopher Paolini]]'s ''[[Inheritance (trilogy)|Inheritance Trilogy]]''. He first appears in ''[[Eldest]]'', the second book of the trilogy. His [[Dragon Riders|Rider]] is [[Oromis]], who also is called ''Osthato Chetowä''—"The Mourning Sage" and ''Togira Ikonoka'' - "The Cripple Who Is Whole."

Glaedr is the oldest dragon in the trilogy, senior even to Galbatorix's black dragon [[Shruikan]]. He is three times larger than Saphira, the [[Eragon|main character's]] dragon. Like his Rider, Glaedr is disabled——his left foreleg is nothing but a white stump in place. Glaedr and Oromis live in Du Weldenvarden, a forest in the north of [[Alagaesia]], the world in which the trilogy takes place. The two hid during [[The Fall (Inheritance)|The Fall]] when the dragon riders and dragons were being killed by a rebellious rider named [[Galbatorix]], for if Glaedr and Oromis had died before one of the remaining dragon eggs had hatched, then there would be no one left to pass on the secrets to the new Rider.

===November 17=Role==
In ''[[Eldest]]'', Glaedr becomes [[Saphira]]'s teacher and the object of her affections. Oromis trains Saphira's Rider, [[Eragon (character)|Eragon]]. [[Saphira]] thinks that Glaedr will be her mate, but he rejects her. In this, Glaedr and Saphira have a fight which Saphira starts by scratching Glaedr in the right forleg. Glaedr respondes by biting Saphira in the thigh. Glaedr believes that the young female is meant for one of the unhatched dragon eggs. Later, on [[Eragon]]'s advice, Saphira apologizes to Glaedr.

== Role in the Inheritance Trilogy ==
===November 16===
In the events of the ''[[Inheritance Trilogy]]'', there are Dragons on each side of the war - [[Galbatorix]] houses one green unhatched Dragon egg and his own Dragon, [[Shruikan]]; under Galbatorix's control is [[Murtagh]] and his dragon [[Thorn (Inheritance)|Thorn]]. Fighting against Galbatorix for the [[Varden]] is [[Eragon (character)|Eragon]] and his dragon [[Saphira]], the last female dragon. Another Dragon is [[Glaedr]], who is the Dragon of [[Oromis]], the oldest remaining Rider, who is an Elf.

:Performed by more magicians than just him. I'll have a look at it in light of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Magic]].

:::The only other solution I can think of (done in the article) would be to put linebreaks in the long entries, but that's arguably just a hack that requires more work.
