====== Speaker ======

**Speakers**, so named because of their proficiency with magic and possession of fully functional [[lairn|lairns]], are the highest caste of the [[draconic race|draconics]] apart from [[demiwyrm|demiwyrms]] and [[dragon|dragons]] themselves. Speakers will arise from any partnership wherein the biological father is a dragon, apart from those between a dragon and another dragon. This will hold true regardless of whether this partnership is between a dragon and a [[fae]], a dragon and a [[demiwyrm]], a dragon and a [[speaker]], or even a dragon and a [[sape]]. Speakers may also arise from partnerships between speakers, or partnerships between speakers and demiwyrms where the father is a speaker.

Speakers are, other than dragons who are over 5,000 years old, the most powerful [[magic|mages]] in [[Mersia]].
