Orium Dragons are named after a crimson-hued metal used by ancient empires. The seemingly impossible alloy is only made possible by a dragon charging the metal with elemental energies. The few artifacts made out of this material that have survived to this day are of such complexity and so far ahead of what was thought possible at that age that they gave rise of the myth of Atlantis. The Antikythera mechanism being one of the most well-known examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antik.....hera_mechanism

Orium dragons dwell among the crumbling ruins of forgotten fortresses and temples deep in the jungle. But those ruins are more than just a lair to these dragons. An orium dragon regards its home ruins as its most prized possession–a hoard composed of more than just coins and jewels. For an orium dragon, a life spent wresting the secrets from ancient ruins and restoring those ruins to their former glory is a life well spent. Why the obsession with the ruins of the past? More so than other kinds of dragon, orium dragons feel a strong drive to emulate the ancestral dragons in their bloodline. Many of those bloodlines were sworn to the service of ancient empires and a few members of orium bloodlines even ruled kingdoms themselves. It is no surprise that the Orium dragon Myrrine, as a descendant from one of those bloodlines, has returned to Greece after finishing her scholarship as an archaeologist and is now excavating the secrets of the past.
