Here lies the history and lore of the DRAGONSLORE CHRONICLES UNIVERSE

In the beginning

Through them and their conflict the universe was born.

From this cataclysmic storm of energies came..

THE PRIMORDIALS.

The FIRST DRAGONS.

Representing the fundamentals of reality itself.

HEMERA of LIGHT

NYX of DARKNESS

GAIA of EARTH

URANUS of AIR

PONTUS of WATER

AETHER of FLAME

And

MOROS.

At CREATIONS behest, THE PRIMORDIALS banded together and struck down THE GREAT BEASTS. Allowing CREATION to absorb their energies and use it as it's will dictated.

CREATION'S first was THE SERAPHIM. The first angel and among the mightiest of all that followed.

Then came THE ARCHANGELS. Warriors blessed with great powers. After them, came THE ANGELS.

To CREATION'S surprise, life was spawning anew upon the earth.

CREATION sent forth the ANGELS to the earth to cultivate and protect these new creatures.

And so, the first race of ELVES were born. Angels given new life on Earth.

HemERA, became the Alpha. Taking GAIA, NYX and URANUS as mates.

From these unions came, THE TITANS.

With GAIA, was ATLAS and RHEA.

From URANUS, came THEIA.

With NYX came EROS.

PONTUS and AETHER produced their own offspring individually.

OCEANUS from PONTUS

HYPERION from AETHER.

MOROS grew very jealous and envious of HEMERA.

For he wished to claim NYX for himself.

But she rebuked him.

In anger, MOROS used his ability to shapeshift and took on the form of HEMERA, tricking NYX to lay with him.

Through this treachery, NYX birthed TARTARUS.

THE TITANS were Dragons much like their predecessors, But possessed the ability to take HUMANOID forms.

TARTARUS grew into a new ALPHA MALE.

Lying in secret with URANUS. Which birthed ALECTO, MEGAERA and TISIPHONE.

Triplet sisters who would be known as THE FURIES.

When URANUS refused to lay with him again. He forced himself upon her and from this came the Black Scaled, CHRONOS.

When URANUS confessed to HEMERA the truth. HEMERA grew enraged and battled the young titan TARTARUS. In the battle, HEMERA stripped him of his wings and banished him in his defeat.

The Rage of Tartarus grew as he wandered the world.

MOROS came to the beaten and wounded Titan and encouraged him to unite the other TITANS against their Patriarchs. Convincing him it was his time to take HEMERA'S place as ALPHA.

Feeding into Tartarus's hate and anger for HEMERA.

MOROS easily poisoned the minds of the young TITANS with false whispers and promises. Using His shapeshifting as a means to accomplish his task.

The Titans struck out against those that gave them life.

The Battle shook the EARTH down to its very core.

When Gaia's son, Atlas, had fallen during the battle her cry of sorrow split the very heavens above open wide. THE ARCHANGELS of Heaven came to end the war.

Though uncertain at first, MOROS, Under the disguise of falsehoods and lies, convinced the ARCHANGELS to side with the TITANS.

The final conflict came down to Tartarus and Hemera.

With a newfound vitality and strength. Tartarus defeated HEMERA and slew him on the spot.

Once the conflict was settled and the PRIMORDIALS defeated, The ARCHANGELS returned to heaven, Leaving the Titans with their new place in the hierarchy.

THE REIGN OF TARTARUS

Crowning himself THE LORD OF DRAGONS, Tartarus established The FIRST DRAGON EMPIRE.

Drunk from this new power and glory, Tartarus's state of mind fluctuated. The remaining PRIMORDIALS became his slaves, as the other TITANS scattered and distanced themselves from his growing madness.

Having MOROS whispering in his ear and guiding him, did not help with his mental stability.

Forcing PONTUS, AETHER and URANUS as his mates. Tartarus sought to populate the world with Dragons. But he found little satisfaction in just three mates that seemed to produce a single offspring at a time. MOROS, at first, suggested mating with other races outside his kin.

Many did not survive the experience. He envisioned a Dragon Race of purer blood and stock. MOROS, then turned his gaze to the Furies. Suggesting to Tartarus the use of his three daughters. Who gave of themselves willingly.

The results were unnatural.

Dragons, Born from EGGS. Eggs laid three to five at a time. These Dragons were Beast-like and monstrous. The process morphed the three Furies beyond repair.

Tartarus, in his madness, saw purity at last with his bloodline.

Going on to produce hundreds of thousands of offspring.

In Chrono's youth, Tartarus grew suspicious and fearful of him. Fearing his son would one day become a new ALPHA and seek to supplant him once he reached of age.

Hearing Tartarus's fears, Once more MOROS came to his council. Telling him he had but only one option.

URANUS feared for her sons safety.

She came to Nyx and had her steal the boy away and raise him as her own.

When Tartarus and MOROS discovered what she had done. Tartarus murdered her himself.

Ordering MOROS to do whatever he could to find CHRONOS and bring him back his head..

But Moros, through all his cunning, trickery and skill, He could not find NYX nor CHRONOS.

At least that's what he reported to Tartarus. They were lost to the winds.

Tartarus's mind became further unhinged due to this. Living in constant fear and paranoia on whether CHRONOS would return.

And CHRONOS did return. Many years later, fully grown and more powerful than Tartarus.

He sought to reason with his father. But Tartarus was far beyond reasoning

The two battled fiercely.

The calamitous force they produced in their battle forced the ARCHANGELS to interfere once more. Rectifying the mistake they made previously, they helped CHRONOS get the better of Tartarus.

In the end, CHRONOS emerged victorious and slew Tartarus. Ending his mad reign for good.

The WORLD OF PARADAWNIA

PROOF OF CONCEPT MAP OF PARADAWNuA

The Angelic Elves: Traversed the lands of Paradawnia, scattering and developing many settlements across the land. Eventually arriving at the easternmost coast.

The Land they had discovered was a literal EDEN of beauty. Almost like a land unto itself. They Christened it, ATLANTIS. Using their skills and magic, they erected a majestic city at the center of the land.

They lived in relative peace. Welcoming all who sought a home and refuge. For the outside world was still full of wickedness.

All sorts of evil sought to poison and usurp Atlantis for their own gain.

In response, The elves erected a Great Wall around the surrounding lands of Atlantis. But that did little to stay off the attacks.

Seeing no other choice, The elves gathered all their magics together for one final miracle. They separated the lands of Atlantis away from Paradawnia, and sent the massive new continent off and up into the clouds. Far from the reach of any evil of the outside world

CHRONOS: Was proclaimed The DRAGON KING. In his humility, he sought not to rule over all that lived. Thus allowing all that wished to carve out their own destinies and lives in the new world, were free to do so.

Those that wished to live in his kingdom, took to the lands North of the GREAT NORTHERN FALLS RIVER.

The rest spread out far across the great expanse of Paradawnia and Beyond.

Gaia & The Tree-Lings: Being one of the last of the PRIMORDIALS, settled in a patch of the western fields. Rhea, her only surviving child, had gone out on her own with all the others.

Still heartbroken by all that she lived through, she reached deep into herself and removed from her vessel, half of her torn heart.

She planted it, watered it with her own tears and left to where only legends could tell.

From this piece of her heart, sprang a mighty tree. THE GAIA TREE, or MOTHER TREE.

And all around this tree came a splendid forest. A forest so large it nearly covered half of Paradawnia.

The Gaia Tree was pulsing with life long after Gaia's departure into memory. Soon giving birth to five sentient life forms. They bore no humanly visage. With Skin of wood and leaf. They ventured out into the world and the first they encountered were the Elves. Descendents of the first angels and elves of the old world.

These elves built a sanctuary close to the great forest. Astounded by the overwhelming love and comfort the Elves provided them. The five Tree-LIngs suddenly took on the visage of the elves to honor those that showed them kindness. Although retaining their unique treelike physiology, They passed through the world in the guise of Elven-like folk.

The Five soon parted ways. One traveled North. One went south, the other East and the other further west. The last, returned to the Mother Tree, rejoining it and sharing with it what it had learned. Soon, the Mother Tree would birth a race of TREE-LINGS. Baring a cousin like resemblance to the Elves.

The Dark Elves: When the angels first returned and became elves, they were born under the rays of the sun. Dark elves were those touched by the light of the moon.

They bore darker, grayer or paler complexion than those of their fair skinned and golden colored cousins. Their hair took on the color of the moon. White, Gray or black. They leaned more towards earthly desires and means of life.

Dark elves dwelled more in places of little light exposure. A trait among their race was to sleep during the day and be active throughout the nights. Many dark elves took to the northern lands, where the sun was not as potent. Others scattered throughout the north east and central territories.

The orcs: a RACE OF EARLY HUMANOIDS, PEOPLE OF THE LANDS AND STEEPED IN TRADITION STARTED BY THE FIRST ORCS. THEY INHABIT THE WEST AND CENTRAL LANDS OF pARADAWNIA.

Dragonsblood: Created by hemera himself with his own hands. Seeing creation create the elves, hemera was curious and intrigued by the process, and so he created the dragonsblood people.

ATLANTIS & THE HOUSE OF ASTRA:

Established by the angelic Elves, ATlantis it a great conTinent that floats above the eastern sea. Its a place of pure beauty and magic. As the centuries passed, the elves passed down the rule of the city to their ancestors. The Astra family is one such family placed in charge because of their pure hearts and loyalty to the law and rules established by the great elves of old. As their family line and rule progressed, Political alliances and fixed marriages watered down the Astra bloodline. Although most of their elven traits lingered, ideologies shifted and changed.

Young LOrd nikolas was the son of a political rival of the kIng, who settles any differences with the king by agreeing to marry his son to the kings daughter, the princess. Together they sired three children, Nathaniel, Alexander and Lilly.

Through an unfortunate event, NAthantial was murdered, leaving ALexander next in line.

Tasked with uniting Atlantis with the rest of paradawneia, he was sent to the mainland.

There he became king of the new Atlantia, sister city to Atlantis.

Things grew worse under the rule of KIng Nikolas after the death of the queen, the last true Astra of the family line, outside of their children.

After a terrible dragon attack, the lands fell into financial ruin and decay. A rebellion over threw the rule of the house of astra. Those loyal to the royals fled to Atlantia. Princess lilly and Sara, Alexander's wife, being among them.

Some year later, lilly led a rebellion of her own to reclaim the lands of her family. Becoming queen of ATLANTIS IN HER OWN RIGHT.
