Here lies the history and lore of the DRAGONSLORE CHRONICLES UNIVERSE
In the beginning
Though sexless creatures at first. They soon developed the ability to take on any form of their choosing.
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.
First, there was THE VOID. A state of infinite nothing.
Dark and cold.
But then came consciousness and once self awareness took hold.
A burst of light and warmth.
First came CREATION, then..
THE GREAT BEASTS, THE PHOENIX and CHAOS.
Two sides of the same coin at constant odds with each other.
PHOENIX was life and renewal.
CHAOS was death and destruction.
Through them and their conflict the universe was born.
CREATION did all it could do to channel these energies and quell the storm.
From this maelstrom 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 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.
Whilst CREATION was hard at its task.
THE PRIMORDIALS were
crafting lives of their own will.
When Gaia's son, Atlas, had fallen during the battle. It is said that 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. Those that did, produced what he found to be lesser beings.
He envisioned a Dragon Race of purer blood and stock. In his rage, he ordered many of his offsprings to be slaughtered along with those that birthed them.
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.
Overhearing this exchange, 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.
In the aftermath, CHRONOS led a great migration of the various creatures and races that endured the Reign of Tartarus, to a new land.
The land in which NYX had hidden him away in. A land later to be called PARADAWNIA.
A sister realm existing upon another plain of reality.
