Dragons of the Valley
The dragons of the Valley of Tea Dragons are considered the oldest guardians of the Great Tea Tree. According to the legends, they were created by the Tea Gods shortly after the appearance of the tree itself.
Each dragon is associated with a different role in protecting the valley and preserving its balance. While the Red Dragon remained within the valley, the Green Dragon eventually departed beyond the mountains, and the Golden Dragon disappeared during the final battle against Ancient God Samovar.
Most surviving knowledge about the dragons comes from legends, fragmented records, and oral traditions preserved by the villagers of the valley.
Red Dragon
The Red Dragon is regarded as the primary guardian of the Great Tea Tree and the oldest protector still remaining within the valley.
Its appearance is associated with fire, mountain winds, and overwhelming physical strength. During the First War, the Red Dragon was the first among the guardians to openly confront the invading forces seeking control over the Great Tea Tree.
Following the disappearance of the Golden Dragon and the departure of the Green Dragon, the Red Dragon remained within the Valley of Tea Dragons to continue guarding the sacred tree.
Rumors among the villagers claim the dragon’s nest lies somewhere within the mountains known as the Left Shoulder, though no confirmed records exist.
Green Dragon
The Green Dragon is associated with forests, rivers, storms, and the eastern borders of the valley.
Unlike the Red Dragon, which remained near the Great Tea Tree, the Green Dragon frequently traveled beyond the valley and was known for confronting threats before they could reach the mountains surrounding the region.
During the Great War, the Green Dragon defended the valley against the orc hordes, demonic legions, and several later invasions. Ancient accounts describe the dragon summoning powerful winds, rain, and roots from the earth itself during battle.
After the final confrontation with Ancient God Samovar, the Green Dragon departed from the valley and did not permanently return. Many stories claim it still wanders distant worlds and forgotten lands beyond the mountains.
Golden Dragon
The Golden Dragon is considered the most mysterious of the three guardians.
Unlike the Red and Green Dragons, very little information about its origin exists within surviving records. Some legends claim the Golden Dragon was created directly by the Tea Gods, while others suggest it existed long before the valley itself.
The Golden Dragon appeared during the later stages of the Great War, when the conflict surrounding the Great Tea Tree had already spread beyond the control of the other guardians.
Its flames are often described not as destructive, but purifying.
According to the legends, the Golden Dragon sacrificed itself during the final battle against Ancient God Samovar, sealing the invading forces within another realm and saving the Valley of Tea Dragons from destruction.
The only known trace left behind after the battle was a single golden egg discovered beneath the roots of the Great Tea Tree.
