Dragons

     It was the end of the Gods’ War, and the chisel marks were still fresh on the Tablets of the Covenant when the gods turned their eyes back to Kinthur.  The ocean was a perfect vibrant aquamarine that brought tears to your eyes and land was green, beautiful and new.  The gods began to create.  From the smallest of microbes and insects, to the towering beasts of Dinosaur island and everything magical imaginable the gods created.  When they were through they gazed at the mortal creatures that now lived on their world and felt something was missing.  The ways of Fate are strange, for on Kinthur the origin of the first dragon came from the evil god U’ntil.  It is said that he used a piece of his own black heart to create it.  Thus was born Garreshnothiglam, Black Fang.  The first of the dragons, and the most evil of all its kind.  Historians have found evidence stating all that Black Fang touches would whither and die.  U’ntil had created something majestic and terrifying, a predator above all others. 

     Despite the wickedness of U’ntil and the evil he wrought, Krar could not deny the nobility and beauty that the Dragon displayed.  Perhaps Krar simply mistook the divine spark from U’ntil as that of the Dragon’s own.  Following his example though, Krar took a shard of armor from his heart plate and a sliver of his sword and forged the first Silver Dragon, Yethnogwethven “Bright Eyes”.  He possessed all of Krar’s desire for justice and law, and his protectiveness of the land that was Kinthur.  

     Rk’tar would never allow his brother to claim greater success than he and so another dragon was made.  While U’ntil used a piece of his body, and Krar shards of his weapon and armor, Rk’tar would take the essence of his own twisted soul and fashion the shadow dragon.  With such a gift the dragon known as Reapshircralfilth, Grim, was set loose upon the cosmos.  Gifted with the power to shift between the planes at will, the shadow dragon chose not to heed its creator and ravaged the lands and planes of its choosing for centuries in the name of chaos and its own whims. 

    The gods move with a speed that mortals could not comprehend.  As Krar took from his armor giving his dragon the strength of its steel, In’tak took from the music of creation a single note and made the heart of the first Gold dragon, Ylidralethymindring, “Glimmer”.  As the gold dragon flies among the clouds, the wind chimes through their scales making the music of In’tak. 

     Unlike the dragons of others, Halovine chose to birth hers.  From her own womb, Halovine birthed Lezonthrilgrethen, “Mother”, and the first of the Bronze dragons.  It has been said that when Halovine forged her greatest of weapons, it was tempered in the fires of Lezonthrilgrethen.

     The god of mirth and mischief created Kilresgeithnepther, “Topsy”.  Nun’til’s humor and laughter gave birth to this odd looking beast, whose wings appear upside down.  He sprang forth from Nun’til’s mouth as he laughed for three days at a practical joke pulled on Fang.  It is believed that the god was not aware that he infused Topsy with more than a sense of humor.  What’s laughter but a way to fight sadness?  It is said in the Chronicles of Kinthur that Topsy could no longer take the laughter of the gods and other Dragons and left the world, swearing to return and remove all that smiled and smirked.  To this day, the mention of Topsy pains the god Nun’til.

     She is known for her patience and caution, like a cat stalking its prey and the Age of Dragonne was no exception.  Seeing that all the gods mistakenly gave something of their selves and instilled a spark of the divine in their creations, T’sar was more creative.  She took from each of the dragons, great and small, a portion of that divinity and wove from the pure magic of the Weave the greatest of all dragons, one that would see the justice of Krar, the darkness of the shadows, the song of creation and the myriad of all dragon kind equally well.  Taking the best attributes from all dragons and adding her own respect for all things and the cycle of life, T’sar created Grylykimnhegnir, “Rainbow”.  As a unique dragon Rainbow has the powers and respect of all dragon-kind.  The power she holds within her is so great it can only be contained for a thousand years before bursting from her body and emulating her.  At that moment her soul travels to the clutch of another dragon and she is reborn, to live for another thousand years.  This attribute is similar to that of the Phoenix, and they are close allies.  Rainbow’s new body will reach adulthood in a miraculous course of one year, at which time she will measure one mile in length and an imaginable weight (it is not polite to ask a woman’s weight).  To this day, Rainbow is the head of the Dragon Council.  A loose alliance of the most powerful of dragons, formed at the end of the third millennium.  Rainbow is both the voice and the bite of this Council of Wyrms.
