Greiol Mother of Dragons

But then the Lady of the Ancient Dragons herself, Placidusax, intervened.
Against the wishes of many, she spared the young Grayol and allowed her to live.
Placidusax never revealed the reason for this decision.
Some believe she saw the future.
Others believe that the Lady has realized a simple truth: without new blood, the dragons will one day disappear forever.
Millennia have passed.
Now the Great Mother has grown old.
Her body is no longer capable of long flights, and her movements are slower than before. But it would be a mistake to mistake this for weakness.
Even at such an advanced age, Greiol remains one of the most powerful beings in the Betweenlands.
She settled in the lands of Kaelid, where she found a place that seemed calm and warm. There, she spends most of her time, lying motionless in the scorching earth. To an outsider, it might seem as if she were simply resting or basking in the sun, having found the perfect spot for rest.
But anyone who gets close enough feels the ancient, almost unbearable pressure of her presence.
It seems as if the earth itself recognizes her as its mistress.
Young dragonesses often fly to the Great Mother to be with her, if only for a short time. They don't speak. They don't ask for advice. They simply lie nearby, enjoying her presence. For them, this feeling is akin to that of a child near its mother.
And while Greiol rests peacefully among the red lands of Kaelid, the dragons know one thing:
"Until the Great Mother closes her eyes forever, the dragon race still has a future."

Continuation
There is an ancient truth among dragons:
"As long as the Great Mother breathes, the dragon race will not disappear."
Every dragon that approaches Greiol, regardless of age, strength, or origin, experiences a strange feeling.
Even the fiercest and proudest dragons feel like small, helpless hatchlings next to her. Before her majesty, the desire to fight or prove their superiority vanishes. Many, without even realizing it, bow their heads, as if before their own mother.
For the second-generation dragons, Greiol is a true miracle, a living legend, the reason they were born at all. They revere her as the Ancestress and are willing to protect her with their own lives.
However, the attitude of the ancient dragons of the first generation is much more complex.
Some treat her with deep respect, because it was she who managed to preserve the dragon race after the beginning of the new era.
Others despise her.
They believe that the birth of the second generation marked the beginning of the decline of the true ancient dragons. They consider the new dragons weaker, more mortal, and less perfect.
When Greiol was still a young dragon, many ancient dragons demanded her death. They saw her as a threat to the future of their kind and wanted to destroy her before she could sire new blood.

Greiol - Great Mother of Dragons
Race: Ancient Dragon
Gender: Female
Status: Progenitor of most modern dragons
Greiol is the most ancient and one of the most revered creatures among dragons. Almost every dragon inhabiting the Betweenlands traces their lineage back to her in one way or another. Even ancient dragons treat her with respect, as if she were the living embodiment of their line's origins.
Despite her colossal size, in her youth, Greiol was unusually fast and strong. Her wings could cover the sky, and a single flap of her tail could destroy fortress walls. Over time, age has made her less agile, but no less majestic.
Her body is covered in ancient gray scales, whitened in places by millennia of age. A powerful neck supports a long head with massive horns, while her wide hips and strong torso reveal her to be the true progenitor of countless offspring. Her appearance still exudes a majesty inherent only to the most ancient dragons.
Character
Grayol is surprisingly calm.
She rarely displays anger first, preferring to observe what's happening around her. However, if danger threatens her offspring, she can turn into a real disaster.
She has no mercy for those who hunt dragons.
For her, the life of each offspring is priceless.
Offspring
Most lesser dragons call Greiol their progenitor.
Even dragons who have never met her in person feel an inexplicable sense of respect and strive to protect her resting place.
There is one feature that is particularly noticeable in your universe:
Since female dragons significantly outnumber male dragons, they form the core of dragonflights. Males are rare and more often become wanderers or defenders of specific territories.
