"Dragons are mighty spirits, sent into our world to maintain the balance of season, weather, and time. They are immortal beasts of power and wisdom.
However, a dragon's soul is so vast, so incomprehensibly big, that it cannot be contained inside a dragon's physical body once they transition into our material world.
Thus, dragons who pass into our world must separate themselves from their souls. They pour and mould them into pearls of indescribable purity and beauty, which they keep beside them until their time on this plane of existence is through and they may rejoin their brothers on the other side, to be replaced by other dragons.
A dragon without its pearl is an abomination, a lifeless husk destined to wither away yet never truly die.
A broken pearl heralds a dead dragon.
It is the highest crime to touch a dragon's pearl - a sin to outweigh any good deed, an open gate into Diyu and its ten levels of inferno."
