Myth of Draknor, a.k.a. Dopple's Chuunibyou
This is something I wrote for a text-based RPG called Warrantia back in 2004. It was basically like how Fizzy Bubbles was back in '00, hence why I got engrossed in it.
It's embarrassing, but in BB Code. Makes for an easy copy-paste! ... The Myth of Draknor, v. 1.8 Overview of Alluria. Myth of Draknor is set in the Omniverse of Alluria. An Omniverse is a "universe" that branches into several different "parallel" dimensions, but they are all connected by a constant in each dimension. Naram was created by the only diety in existence, the one God, Jehovah. Jehovah's power is limitless, as is his benevolence. Jehovah is referred to in the "male" form even though he has no gender, for he is the "father" of Alluria. Jehovah is responsible for creating the universes of Mi and Ni, as well as the Negaverse, the Seven High Heavens. Jehovah then created the first worlds and began time in Mi and Ni. Worlds developed, life flourished, and peace was frequent. Jehovah's vision was to create a tranquil domain, where he would recieve prayers for his work and in turn, his people would obey him. Everyone would be good, and life to it's best. In the beginning, Jehovah realized and understood the connections of inner energy, the conflicting forces of "yin" and "yan". To even allow worlds to exist, the negative "yan" energy of every action, of every being, was to reside in the Negaverse, an alternate dimension of the Alluria Omniverse that had the sole purpose of containing negative energy. Jehovah realized that his perfect world was not good. His people would die; they lacked the instinct to kill other animals, to harm a tree by eating fruit, or by grazing. The first mammals (including primitive humans) and reptiles were too good, and they began to die. With the death of his creations, which took so much time and energy to make, and without their prayers, thanks, and tributes, Jehovah grew weaker. Jehovah realized that he would need to bring back some "yan" energy back into his worlds, and so it was done. The Negaverse was breached, and black energy seeped back into the hearts of beings. Time progressed foreward, and creatures were living. Jehovah believed life was good. However, Jehovah looked down on his worlds one day, and saw evil and corruption. Early humans in Mi were killing one another over petty differences and trinkets, and species in Ni had evolved into monstrous creatures. These creatures adapated to space travel and attacked other worlds. Jehovah saw this, and realized that, even with the slightest amount of "yan" energy, the purest of creatures can become corrupted into monsters. These monsters, deemed Jehovah, would corrupt Heaven, and possible taint himself. The all-forgiving Jehovah's love for his creations diminished as did his power. In his dillussional state, to preserve himself, Jehovah created the Nine Burning Hells, the ultimate fate of all malevolent beings, and transfigured several of his angels into monsterously winged fiends called daemons. Over time, lesser daemons and beasts also began to inhabit the Nine Burning Hells. These creatures were of a twisted, sadistic nature, designed to inflict all the evil upon those sent to the Hells as those send did upon the innocent. Five daemon lords, the most vindictive and malicious of the unholy legions, emerged: Trigon, Azmodan, Belial, Nergle and Baal. Rising above these lords was the Daemon King, an enormous hell spawn who named himself Diaboros (Diaboros Rex). The legions of Hell, now independent of Jehovah, sought to strengthen their desire for cruelty and dominance by bringing more creatures into the Hells. Diaboros began to corrupt the creatures of Mi and Ni, amplifying their "yan" energy to disproportionate values. Jehovah was weakening by the hour, and failed to notice this. The One God decided to change things in one dimension, and see if it changed the worlds for the better. With this thought in mind, Jehovah created the title portfolio, a form of magical enchantment in which powerful beings attain a slice of immortality by obtaining a "profile". They are entrusted to preside over this profile, embracing it's abilities to help balance the world. Mortals would have access to these portfolios, which were alignment neutral, but the majority of them would go to his angels. Jehovah also experiment with The Mana Stream. One of his most pious worshippers, a beautiful maiden on Planet Korrin in Ni, was murdered by rogues. She was unique in that she could control magical energy, which Jehovah had neglected to restrict in mortal creatures. Mortal beings were beginning to tap into their own spirit energy, called Ki, and the spirit energy of lands, objects, and natural forces, called Mana. The majority of beings used these powers for destructive ends. Mi was magic-starved, in that there was little mana to be accessed and the humans there leaned toward technology rather than the arcane, but in Ni, humans geared toward both. Rather than let the beautiful maiden, Virgo, come up to Heaven, he transformed her into a semi-sentient stream of magical energy (with her permission) to regulate power for all eternity. The Mana Stream penetrated every aspect of Ni's universe, absorbing Ki and Mana to prevent beings from accessing it. In turn, the Mana Stream rediverted such power to life and growth. In time, however, the powerful daemons of the Hells had corrupted the Universe of Mi into a world of bood and nightmares. The Terrans, humans of Mi, had created great ships of war to sail across primitive seas; now, they embraced spaceships and interstellar combat, using supernovae and black holes as leathal weapons. The Triple Alliance, a totalitarian regime, fought against the various species of many worlds, all for unattainable ideals and diminishing resources. Chaos reigned supreme. The destruction in Mi was so great, the borders between Mi, Ni, and the Negaverse began to weaken. These barries were so weak that intedimensional tears, or "rips" in the fabric of space time, began to emerge. These tears became powerful sources of energy, but only until Mi's last days did scientists discover these tears, essentially "holes" in Alluria's Ominverse dimensional walls, could be stabilized into a corpreal gateway to the other branches of the worlds. The first sign of the weakening of barries, however, was with the creation of a horrendous monster on Planet Hellion. The magi of the Kei Pirates, the primary human resistance to the Triple Alliance, affiliated themselves with primitive daemonic worshippers, and together, they gated in a powerful daemon from the Hells (with a little help from Diaboros) and slew it (daemon spirits go back to the Hells when slain). The scientists combined the DNA of the daemon with a fusion of technology, genetics, and a little magic, creating a unique daemonic abomination. These beast, taking the form of a winged draconian serpent, with two mouths on it's tremendous head, emerged from the "Hell Egg" during the last few weeks of Mi's existence. The monster, named Kevhendross the Blazen, was the first creature in Mi to assume a profile; the beast became Lord of Chaos. Devouring all life on Mi, Kevhendross grew to tremendous size, enough so to destroy the planet. Without requiring oxygen to breath, Kevhendross flew across Mi, wreaking havoc and leaving destruction in his wake. Wherever Kevhendross attacked, what was left behind became inhabitable, because Kevhendross was not only magical, but radioactive. Jehovah did indeed see this, and he deemed that Mi had become far to evil to exist any longer. In a reversal of the "Big Bang" he used to create the universe, Jehovah simply set a limit on the expansion of Mi, and eventually, it began to contract. This "Big Crunch" was the ultimate cataclysm of the universe, although some beings were allowed to survive. The Atlantians on Planet Oreichalcos, a holy people who valued individual rights and peace, were spared by Jehovah's power. Some ships and outposts of the Triple Alliance fleet had actually traversed the universe bounds so far, and because of Ni's dimensional breakdown, they phased in and out of their home plane. Jehovah simply left them in Ni. With the "Big Crunch" all of Mi was reduced to a single atom, but Jehovah was in shock. One of the powers bestowed upon Kevhendross the Blazen by the scientists who made him was dimensional travel, the ability to stabilize a portal. Kevhendross was able to escape Mi's destruction into Ni; Kevhendross terrorized a flourishing blue world called Draknor, forcing himself upon the Queen of Dragons, Alexstraza, and nearly slaying her mate, Bahamut, Lord of Dragons. The Terrans who had escaped Mi's destruction read Kevhendross' existence on their scanners, and realized that the daemon dragon would kill them all. Although, like most of the Triple Alliance, they were held in the dark about Kevhendross, they had accumulated public information on the beast during Kevhendross' rampage across the Mi galaxies. Of note, Kevhendross' second head spewed a magical-lightning based attack called "Lightning Impact" that severely weakened anything it touched. Kevhendross They already had one; Nightscape, a battlestar cruiser. The Ion cannons on Nightscape, usually used to disable enemy ships, were modified to accept ions as opposed to fire them. The engineers on the battlestar figured the lightning attacks of Kevhendross, magic or not, where ionic at the molecular level. They also guessed that Kevhendross was not immune to his own attack. They knew that, as part of his programming, Kevhendross hated "summonings" of creatures or objects to combat him, and that the "Lightning Impact" would only trigger when something was summoned. Nightscape lured Kevhendross to it by destroying one of the larger ships in the Nightscape fleet, an old dreadnaut. The evil dragon followed the energy signature and attacked the Nightscape cruiser. The trick Kevhendross, a hollowed-out corvette-class ship was hidden behind Planet Thailog, where Nightscape had emerged out of Mi. When Kevhendross attacked Nightscape's fleet, the corvette was programmed to fly from behind Thailog and quickly appear in front of Nightscape, simulating a "summoning". It worked. Kevhendross used his "Ligntning Impact", which was absorbed by Nightscape (the corvette was destroyed). Using all the power sources on Nightscape, the ship fired, with all cannons aimed, right back at Kevhendross. The dragon was left weakened by the attack, unable to even move. The Terrans on Nightscape watched as Kevhendross fell limply into space, and their signals indicated that the dragon was consumed by a star some two years later. Nightscape, the last surviving ship of the Triple Alliance, had lost all power, and was forced to crash land on Thailog. The ship collapsed into the Dune Sea, causing a breach in the ship's hull. Tragically, Thailog had a nitrogen-sulfide atmosphere, and all aboard suffocated to death. Jehovah's power had diminished significantly; he had no hand in the the destruction of Kevhendross. Watching the sole civilization alive in Mi, the Atlantians on Planet Oreichalcos. Slowly, these pious people became corrupted by their own power, wealth, and pride; having survived the Big Crunch, they believed themselves invincible. The Seal of Oreichalcos, a six-tiered star that served as the Atlantian's Holy Symbol, was now manipulated to amplify the evil in their hearts. The worse was yet to come. Rebellion began, and slaughter was frequent. Jehovah watched, sadly, as his people degraded into monsters. Worse yet, Several Atlantians had seen visions of Diaboros, and using powerful corruptive magic, they were able to corrupt the Seal of Oreichalcos into The Insignia of Diaboros Rex; Diaboro's pentagram. This horrible rune of power not only corrupted all who beheld it, but it served as a gate to allow Diaboros to enter the mortal realm. The Lord of Hell and the Five Daemon Lords had come to Mi to steal the portfolios that Jehovah had created, and use their power to open the Golden Gates into Heaven. Diaboros absorbed almost all the "yan" portfolios, as did his Daemon Lords. The Lord of Hell then began razing Oreichalcos, destroying the civilization and all who lived within. Jehovah had had enough. Diaboros was close to assuming his power, weak as he was. Summoning the last of his strength, Jehovah gated in five powerfull beings from a dimension completely seperate from Alluria; five immortals known only as Colossus, Goliath, Juggernaut, Titan, and Gorgon. Five horrible monsters that assumed portfolios when they arrived. Jehovah commanded them to destroy Diaboros; they were successful, after nearly a week of fighting. Jehovah would not let Diaboros be reborn in Hell; after transporting the five immortals to Ni, he caused a massive explosive cataclysm in Mi to destroy everything, and closed the gates to Heaven and the Infernal Gate to Hell. With this, Jehovah fell to sleep. He was weakened, exhausted, from his work, and realized that the world was corrupt and would not heal itself. He fell asleep, and would vanish from the world for all time. Jehovah, however, did not realize that problems were emerging in Mi. The yin spirits of the Atlantians were slowly degrading into dark energy, yan, from the evil of daemonic corruption. Their spirits became wraiths, and, as yan energy. Some, like Diaboros, diffused into the Negaverse. Others were drawn into Ni during brief portal tears caused by the Mindflayer, Dread Lord, and Githyanki wars on Thailog. Diaboros, however, now a wraith, began to absorb the Atlantians, ending their existence to fuel his own. When "The Three" created the Ichi dimension from part of the Negaverse, Diaboros entered that world. When they created life, he was given form once again, but no longer as a daemon. All daemonic influence had left him; the former Lord of Hell became a new species, a Bane Lord. Called Diaboros' son, this new creature immediately assumed all the portolios in Ichi and Ni relating to death, decay, and corruption, and so many refer to him as Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies. The Three, who were young demi-gods from a realm outside the Omniverse of Alluria, trapped Beelzebub temporarily. They had used all their energy to create Ichi, but they used their life energy to create six houses of a magical species, related to Humans. These six houses, embracing aspects of the mortal realm (Shadow, Bone, Blood, Fire, Frost/Air, Thunder/Lightning) would live on the newly created homeworld of Ichi, Gaia, and train to defeat Beelzebub when he would free himself. One thousand years later, Beelzebub had freed himself from the runic prison of the Three, and he proceeded to sow decay upon Gaia. The Thunderlord Champion, Kenkai the Purifier, riding the eternal dragon Shenlong, battled Beelzebub. Beelzebub, to counter Shenlong, gated a creature from Hell to serve as his mount: Kevhendross. After much fighting, Kevhendross and Beelzebub were defeated and banished to a dimension containing the immense monster Tartarus; Kenkai was slain, but with his life energy, just like the three, he created the universe in Ichi. Draknorian History -=The Creation=- The planet Draknor, and the universe of Ni, was dying, seven thousand three hundred years before the epic battle between Kenkai and Beelzebub. In fact, most of the starts in Ni had extinguished, collapsing into few neutron stars but mostly black holes. Planet Draknor was among the last lands with life, but it's sun had swelled to the size of a red super giant, a sign that the sun was aging; and the planet would inevitably be destroyed. The medium-sized Draknor (about the size of Mars) was always a harsh world, albeit not as difficult to survive in during its latter years. Although not a desert planet, Draknor was somewhat desolate, with few huge forests and bodies of water. The ice caps were fairly dense, however, and lead Monsters off all shapes and sizes lived on Draknor, with semi-sentient species including the Yeti, Ogre, Troll, Dragon, Orc, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Kobold, Bugbear, Ettercap, Giant Spiders, and all sorts. The red planet was also home to a number of very sentient species, such as the Mountain/Lowland Dwarves, Royal Dragons, Humans, Sahuagin, and Daemons. Daemons has come to Draknor when a brief portal was open between it and Hell, but the potal was closed with Azmodan, Price of Daemons, stepped through. The portal had been opened when Draknor had been struck by a comet; the comet had torn open a rift in time and space, primarily because of the sensitivity of the magical field on the red world. Naturally occuring dimensional portals have Ki limits, though, and Azmodan was far too powerful to keep the portal from collapsing. Azmodan and a few hundred Daemons had trapped themselves on Draknor, but in time, most of them were able to survive by thriving off the malevolence of other beings. They colonized part of the mini-continent Sanzanar, and were able to transform it into an outpost of Hell. -=The First Age=- During the first age of Draknor, humans came about and began to settle upon the main continent of Daelor. They avoided the mountain ranges, as at the time, humans were far too primitive to survive in all but the most mild of climates. This was also due to the infestation of Lowland Dwarves, who, in contrast to Moutain Dwarves, were very stupid but speech-capable giants, who often weilded axes larger than most houses and who often made homes out of hollowed-mountains. The Royal Dragons under Bahamut, Lord of Dragons, created the wonderous city Shandalar, and functioned under an absolute monarchy. Royal Dragons, a bipedal, upright, and more intelligent variation of normal dragons, have no females, because they re-produce asexually. The only exception was their deity, Bahamut, who fathered most of the species with his mate, Alextrasza, Queen of Dragons. During Draknor's early years, a creature from a faraway world called Kevhendross the Blazen, essentially a demon in draconian form, forced himself upon the female diety Alextrasza, creating a bastard offspring of godly proportions; Tiamat, Lord of Carnage. Tiamat, like Bahamut and Alextrasza, was a draconian diety. When Tiamat was born, he used his divine power to kill and devour his mother, Alextrasza. Bahamut fought Tiamat with all his strength, but the Lord of Dragons had no power over draconian dieties (like Kevhendross) and was unable to command or kill the Lord of Carnage. Instead, Bahamut ordered his Royal Dragon mages to fashion a totem, and while Tiamat was preoccupied with destroying parts of Shandalar, Bahamut wounded and imprisoned the demonic dragon. Bahamut cast the totem into the great sea, were it was eventually salvaged by Sahuagin and placed in the royal treasury of Aquatis. -=The Second Age=- The second age began with the creation of the mage clans, exiled from the mainlands of Daelor for their meddling in the forces of magic. Those exiled where the greatest of alchemists and scientists, who discovered a powerful force that flowed through all dimensions simultaneously; The Mana Stream. The earliest experiments with harnessing power through The Mana Stream destroyed many small towns, and although many of the Daelor kings employed court conjurers, fear and superstition drove them out. For a note, Daelor had fashioned an area in its center, which was known as the Alliance of Great Kingdomes. This area, ruled by no less than twelve kings, was the most prosperous human settlement on Draknor. Such prosperity was what also lead to the experimentation into the unknown, as the Great Kingdomes offered superior resources and manpower to fuel such inquisitiveness. Three mage clans were formed, each exhiled from a different realm through the Treaty of the Glory of the Kings, established in 125 BP (Bai Primer, after the monk who fashioned standard time-keeping). The three clans were as follows; the Veshan Sorcerors, Batan-Tor Necromancers, and Kyath Warlocks. The Veshan Sorcerors, exhiled from the northernmost section of the Great Kingdomes, were the least-experienced of the mage clans, yet most bitter. They delt with harnessing elemental and mental magicks, and were thus the most responsible for causing banishment. Although the largest clan, most of their number fell during the first great trek, and since most of this clan had been seperated, it was a good two years before they managed to congregate in one place, in which case, more than one thousand mages were reduced to a scant hundred or so. (Veshan Sorcerors were both male and female, 65% female, to be exact) They congregated near a small cove, slighly north of the Sea of Storms, called the Bay of Baash. From there, the Veshan decided to form a new nation as isolated from the Great Kingdomes as possible; they traveled north-west from the bay up to the Frostlord Peaks, and through Foxfire Pass, they found a new-land, untouched and uncolonized by humans, dwarves, or dragons. This new land had no-monsters, and no native beasts at all; it boasted a sea of trees, and was a fortified point beyond the Sighorn Mountains, Draknor's greatest mountain chain. The Veshan settled here, and formed a new land, called Vesha. (For a note, Veshan means 'Survivor,' in the human native tongue) The second two mage clans, named the Batan-Tor "Walkers of the Dead," and Kyath "Hell-Spawn," were by far more malevolent than the Veshan. The Batan-Tor, for example, were Necromancers, who, in the western Great Kingdomes, raised the dead from cemetaries and combined bodily parts to form inhuman abominations. The Batan-Tor, however dark, never truely took an innocent mortal life. They are also the only beings to actually prefer their exhile. The Batan-Tor sailed across a small channel of the Endless Sea to a dark island. This new island, named simply "Necropotence," became the Batan-Tor's central and isolated home, and has never been visited by normal humans. None dare venture there, thought, for all life near Necropotence's shores have been extinguished, and black, tainted water is said to flow from its only river, the Styx. The coast that leads two Necropotence has been called the Skeletal Coast, because the land has rotted and the dead forced to the surface on the decaying beach. However evil the Batan-Tor may seem, they pale to the Kyath, who were truely the most fearsome of all mages. The Kyath, who dared to deal with the devil, specialized in daemonic and corruptive magicks, with their most fearsome spells capable of summoning Daemons and Hellions from Hell. The Kyath made a pact with Azmodan, Prince of Daemons, where they would together attempt to destroy all life on Draknor. The Kyath left the Great Kingdomes before they were exiled, taking refuge on the Daemon mini-continent of Sanzanar. The second age was also a time of war, as the giant Lowland Dwarves were slaughered by the smaller, more strategic Mountain Dwarves. Lead by King Layden I, the Mountain Dwarves re-took their homes in the Thunderlord and Frostlord Peaks through fierce warfare with their larger cousins. Although the Lowland Dwarves had size and power, the Mountain Dwarves employed tactics and intelligence to overpower their opponents, and within twenty years the Lowland Dwarves were extinct. -=The Third Age=- The third age began with the extinction of normal humans. A strange climate change, theorized to have been caused by a small meteor striking Draknor, caused severe droughts to occur during the summer months and tremendous rainfall during the spirng. Hostilities between the Great Kingdomes and the nations of Vesha, Black Isle, and Zaarin began to erupt. Vesha, the most developed nation on Draknor, in terms of architecture, knowledge, and culture, had become more powerful in their isolation, free from prosecution. The Vesha had evolved tremendously in power, and they used their newfound magic to correct the seasons in Vesha. Many non-Great Kingdome human settlements immigrated to Vesha, and those that survived the journey were welcome with open arms. The Veshan had made alliances with the Royal Dragons and Mountain Dwarves, mainly due to their exporting of goods and services to these races, who were suffering from the climate changes. Many Royal-Dragons, unaccustomed to the extremes of cold, perished in mass qualtities untill the Veshan came to their city of Shandalar and corrected the problem. The Veshan casted several spells to shield Shandalar from magical attacks and unfavourable weather. The Royal Dragons were indebted to the Veshan, while hostilities toward the Great Kingdomes continued to mount. The country of Zaarin on Sanzanar, and Necropotence, relatively un-changed by the climate of Draknor, began making plans with the Vesha to take revenge upon the Great Kingdomes. Although the Kyath and Batan-Tor were actually neutral at the time, their hatred of the Kingdomes was rekindled by the bitter Veshan. The Mage Wars began during the liqudation of the Alliance of Great Kingdomes. Each of the twelve nations declared that the others were the cause of their problems, and together they denounced the exhiled sorcerors as part of the problem. The Alliance destroyed, quarrels and fighting began amidst the great nations, and the Veshan, Kyath, and Batan-Tor marched into their lands. Massive armies of lesser-daemons, undead, dwarves and dragons ravaged the Great Kingdomes, as the sky rained fire and lightning overhead. Daelor, already crippled by the climate changes, was warped into a a continent of badlands and swamps. Mainly due to the Kyath and Azmodan, the land became corrupt and desolate, with even the most hardy of monsters perishng amidst the endless wasteland. Once the Great Kingdomes had been delt with, the Kyath, as with their pact with Azmodan, declared war upon the Batan-Tor and Veshan. The Batan-Tor, utterly ignoring the Kyath's feeble attempts at combat, retreated to their isle to investigate a strange magic radiating from deep within Draknor. The Veshan Order of Sorcerors under the command of M@lintex (Archmage) Archimonde, in an alliance with the Royal Dragons under Bahamut, Lord of Dragons, and Dwarven Clans, under King Layden Stromhammer II, Mountain King, did battle against M@lintex Davvol of the Kyath Cult of Warlocks and Azmodan, Prince of Daemons. The battles primarily took place upon the shattered continent of Daelor. None ever reached Zaarin or Vesha, mainly because of physical barriers; the Frostlord Peaks for Vesha, and the Sea of Storms for Zaarin. The battles resulted in the slaughter of several million beings, and an enromus strain on the forces of magic. This strain was weakening something powerful from within the Earth, something only the Batan-Tor were able to foresee, something more powerful than anything Draknor had seen in millennia. -=The Fourth Age=- Before life had begun on Draknor, several alien races had imprisoned five great spirits of evil within a tomb beneath the planet's surface. Of these races, nothing is known, except that they went extinct attempting to imprision these spirits. After the five had been released, the Veshan Order discovered the tomb and found incredibly large and complex runes, designed to keep the spirits in a state of dormancy, weakness, and immobility. A passage was written upon a slab of stone near the north wall of the tomb, and when touched by a weilder of magic, it immediately translated into the following, in whatever language the mage understood: Detained herin lay five great beasts, Originally they ravaged worlds unknown, On your world they now eternally feast, May their seeds of destruction now been sown During the last few battles of The Mage Wars, a great power was growing from deep beneath Daelor. The Veshan, who had liquidated their divinators, were completely unaware. The Kyath, some of which had lost communication with Azmodan, were also unaware. The Batan-Tor, Royal Dragons and Daemons realized the danger, though. The Batan-Tor, not known for fear, began to recall all forces left on Daelor to Necropotence, and Azmodan prepared his Daemons and Kyath on Sanzanar in preperation. (M@lintex Davvol was slain during The Mage Wars, and Azmodan assumed control of the Kyath) It was only a matter of time before the terrifying force was unleased, although their freedome was premature, due in part to a new type of spell devised by the Veshan; The Infinity Spells. Cast with multiple mages, these spells caused tremendous damage to all opposition, while also blasting a tremendous area. The main problem with these spells was their slowness and inaccuracy. The diminishing numbers of Kyath, actually due to the realization of the great prescene under the earth, was attributed to Infinity Spells. This only caused widespread use amidst Veshan enforcers. The dragonite's release was mostly due to massive spell-casting. The runes that imprisoned the five were fueled by the magic of Draknor, and conistent spell-casting by the Veshan, Kyath, and Batan-Tor caused the magical barriers to strain. Without magical fuel, the runes would break. This, in conjunction with the awakening of the dragonites, caused their imprisonment to come to an end. A few days after The Mage Wars 'unoffically,' ended, with the last Kyath banished/killed on Daelor, five tremendous explosions erupted from deep within the planet. Five large, metallic, dragon-like beings emerged from the Earth, each enraged at several millennia of imprisonment. The dragons, who called themselves dragonites (apart from Chromium and Tungsten, who were apparently too primitive too speak) began to fight amongst themselves. Legends incribed on the tomb walls described such behavior; apparently, there were dragonites, male and female, of every known element, but the five surviving dragonites had killed and devoured the rest. The dragonite's freedome caused complete decimation of most of the ruined lands of Daelor. However, Nickel, the youngest and weakest dragonite, was slain by the other four, and his ruined carcass fell to the earth in a heap of twisted metal. Layden Stromhammer III would eventually use the corpses of all the slain dragonites to use as weapons and armour. The remaining four dragonites fled to different parts of the continent, each attempting to conquer new lands and amass a tremendous army to pit agaist themselves. The four dragonites, Iron, Tungsten, Chromium, and Cobalt, settled in different parts of Daelor; Chromium colonized a short ways south of Vesha and somehow constructed an imposing fortress, named later by the Veshan The Throne of Chromium. Iron imprisoned Bahamut and leveled the Royal Dragon's city of Shandalar and forced the Royal Dragons into slavery. They constructed for him a tremendous domed fort, named The Durance of Iron. Tungsten raided the Dwarven halls of Layden, slaughtering thousands of dwarves and driving them from the mainstead of the Thunderlord and Frostlord Peaks. Tungsten's stronghold was renamed The Halls of Tungsten Cobalt was the last dragonite to establish a stronghold, mainly because of skirmishes between the other dragonites and himself. However, in terms of raw destruction, he was second only to Chromium, having destroyed nearly all of Necropotence and devestating lands belonging to both Iron and Tungsten. Cobalt eventually created The Citadel of Cobalt within seeing distance of Shadow Lake, due west of the Sea of Storms. The battles between the four dragonites became known as the war of the Godslaying Metal Dragons. Although the forces of Draknor fought valliantly against the four, hopelessness began to settle in. Several regiments of Veshan Sorcerors waged combat against the dragonite, Chromium, only to discover one horrifying fact; these creatures, while already invulnerable to physical damage, were impervious to any and all magic; this lead to the destruction of all Veshan regiments beyond Vesha via Chromium's breath weapon, a tremendous cylinder-shaped blast with a diameter of two miles. These blinding blasts obliterated anything and everything engulfed by them, including a great deal of the Frostlord Peaks. In a brash and unfortunate move, Archimonde commanded that all available Veshan Sorcerors would lead a tremendous assault on Chromium's stronghold, in an effort to destroy the dragonite. Archimonde's Folly, as it came to be known, resulted in the deaths of a billion Veshan; immune to spells, Chromium enjoyed a turkey shoot as waves of Veshan hurtled themselves toward his stronghold. Not one even made it to the walls. Over time, the dragonites ceased warefare with one another, a sort of mutual, yet unoffical armistace. No dragonite would risk attacking another, as they might loose their own life in the process. The dragonites settled into seclusion and calm, only terrorizing those in their own vicinity. Tungsten, who hoarded all the treasure of the dwarves, continued to slaughter their numbers; Cobalt, the most diabolical, became a semi-tyrant who ruled his lands with an Iron(no pun intended) Fist. Iron, at first the most powerful and largest dragonite, settled in and became a sort of god; he was worshipped by his followers to no end, and he would often take a human form and cavort with hundreds of young women every hour, only to melt their flesh with his breath while they were still alive. The anomale was Chromium. While the other dragonites actually became weaker with time, Chromium nearly quadrupled his power in the first two years after his release. Chromium was also the only dragonite without an army; Cobalt had his Shadow Warriors, which were warped spirits of the dead, Iron controlled the Royal Dragons and Humans, and Tungsten commanded dwarven slaves and humans. Apparently, Chromium could absorb magic from whatever being he killed, and, in a sinister twist of fate, the Veshan's seemingly worthless loss of a billion devote sorcerors lead to their inevitable victory. Chromium rarely occupied his fortress, instead choosing to ravage the lands of the other dragonites, and those lands unclaimed by them. Salger and most of the Kyath were totally destroyed by Chromium, as was what remained of The Black Isle. Chromium also decimated several island inlets, including the Comet Isles and Scattered Isles. Chromium left the Hellstrom Torinth and Cairn Reefs desolate, and legend even states that he tracked down the Sahuagin underwater kingdome of Aquarius. Twenty-two years, one month after the coming of the dragonites, Chromium left his throne and attacked Iron. Although completely take by surprise, Iron fought back violently. Iron could not fly, though. Although not attributed to obesity, the weight of Iron's tremendous scales were too much for his four wings to bear, and, as he was grounded, Iron was at a tremendous disadvantage. The magnitude of Chromium's power, however, was not truely measured until Iron blasted Chromium with a tremendous breath blast, only to have the blast reflected back at him. Chromium had become nigh-invincible; not even a dragonite's breath weapon could harm him. After one breath, Iron collapsed in a tremendous heap, just like Nickel, twenty two years before. Chromium destroyed The Durance of Iron and freed Bahamut from a cell beneath it. Chromium then spoke to Bahamut, in a regal tongue, no less, and ordered him to rebuild his nation. Chromium forced Bahamut to swear allegiance to him, which Bahamut did with extreme gratitude. Chromium departed Shandalar and flew off to Tungsten. Around this time, Archimonde and the Veshan had decided to test a new type of spell, one simmilar to the one Kenkai used to imprison Beelzebub. The spell had been developed ten years earlier, but not perfected. Archimonde had been demoted from the commander of all Veshan after his brash folly, although he called upon once more to be the one to administer this spell. The Veshan did not know Chromium's whearabouts, or that Iron was dead; much to their surprise, several Dwarven messengers from King Layden III explained that Chromium was slaughtering the forces of Tungsten. Veshan investigators arrived at Tungsten's stronghold, only to find a leveled mountain, and a steaming pile of broken metal. Tungsten, too, had been slain, and Chromium was quickly flying towards Cobalt's Citadel. The Veshan, who employed a new spell called Instant Teleportation, informed the Veshan High Council of this. Archimonde and a dozen of the best Vesan Sorcerors (and among the last, only about two hundred remained) teleported to Cobalt's Citadel and waited to intercept them. Cobalt had not left his sanctum in years, mainly because of an interesting magical fluctuation that had began to unravel near. Cobalt's armies, who drew power from the negative plane, had pulled an immense amount of negativity into Draknor; this caused the fabric of space and time around Cobalt's Citadel to weaken. (It's kind of like spraying a wall with a hose long enough; the wall will begin to break after a time) Cobalt had been researching the source of this anomale, and was in the process of doing so when he was attacked by Chromium. Chromium slaughered the disciplined shadow army that stood against him, quickly forcing Cobalt into confrontation. As Cobalt and Chromium did battle, the Veshan arrived and began to cast their Imprisonment spell. The weakened magical barriers around the Citadel and caused a tear in the fabric of space to appear. This tear began sucking all corporal matter into it, so Archimonde was forced to stabalize it into a portal; one to the planet Gaia. Archimonde and his sorcerors cast their Imprisonment Spell, a powerful Infinity Spell desinged to imprison the dragonite spirits within an object. Archimonde succeeded in removing Chromium and Cobalt's spirits from their metallic forms, but upon forcing their spirits into the statues destined for them, the statues shattered; the dragonites were apparently too powerful to contain. The dragonites re-entered their metallic bodies, only to reverse what the Veshan had tried to hard to begin. Chromium then began to letch magic from the sorcerors, by some link established by the Imprisonment Spell between caster and victim. Archimonde took the blunt of the absorbtion, but he soon crumpled in a heap from the strain. The other mages, still loyal to Archimonde despite his mistakes, realeased the dragonites from the spell and attempted to revive Archimonde. The managed to revive him partially, and the old sorceror commanded that the sorcerors transform him into a Lich. As such, Archimonde would be able to imprison them. The Veshan Sorcerors shed some tears, and began to transform Archimonde into a Lich. The old sorceror withered even more so, but his power multiplied exponentially. With what sanity he had left, Archimonde rose as a Lich King, and, by himself, cast the Imprisonment Spell upon the suspended spirits of the two dragonites. Archimonde was still unable to contain them, however, so he was forced to attempt banish them from Draknor; into the red portal. The dragonites resisted, and were able to free themselves Archimonde's spell to cast them into the portal. Cobalt, however, was destroyed in the escape; a dying Chromium fled far from the red portal, liklely headed back to his throne. Because both dragonites had not been devoured by the portal, it grew in size and power. Archimonde left the task of stablizing Draknor to his diciples, and he commanded commanded his assistants to imprison him beneath the Chaos Sea, before he would lose his sanity and become a raging monster. (As do all Liches become) Cobalt's spirit was reborn on Draknor, because it had not been devoured by another dragonite. Cobalt took the form of a Batan-Tor, were he would grow up and become the first warrior-mage of the Necromancer clan. Through a facade of good deeds, the new Hazanko Dakmar gained a poilitical image in Draknor, ultimately saving King Layden III from a raid of Hill Giants. In gratitude, Layden III gifted Dakmar with a fine suit of black armour, enchanted with spells that not even Layden III knew. This armour was, in fact, made from the corpse of Cobalt himself. Redonning his old scale, Dakmar began to remember much about his past life, and eventually seized dictoral power in Draknor. When the red portal, known as the Chaos Gate, was to reopen in Draknor a mere five-hundred years later, Dakmar would send his legions of Kyath, Batan-Tor, Veshan, and lesser races into war against Gaia. However, that is a tale for another day. Chromium, dying, fled back to his throne, were he sought to fortify his position and prevent his inevitable death. Waiting for the dragonite was a young, somewhat trained boy, named Drake Christopher Dragon. This unusual boy had trained under all three mage clans, and fought the dragonite with a great fury. The dragonite had destroyed Drake's city, and all his family, and using an ancestral katana (perhaps dating back to the days of King Layden II) Drake managed to hold his own. Drake was taken aback, however, when Chromium used a spell to restore himself to full power. It was all Drake could do to prevent himself from getting oblterated. Out of options, Drake reached to his side and grabbed a mysterious rod. This rod, known as the Rift Device to Veshan Alchemists, was an ultimate weapon; it combined technology and magic, all encased within a moving apparatus of foreign metal, capable of ripping apart the universe. The Rift Device was found in a Supermassive Black Hole, possibly a remnant of a civilization that existed even before Jehovah awakened for the first time. Drake, unsure of how to use the device, aimed and shot at Chromium. A tremendous blast of energy struck the dragon, atomizing him! However, the backlash of the Rift Device caused Chromium's spirit to be sucked into it, as was Drake's own body and soul. With a tremendous flash of light, Chromium's spirit fused with Drake Christopher Dragon, becoming one entity. The Rift Device was gone. Because of lack of extensive training, experience, and awareness, Drake was not able to tap into his newfound power, and even though Chromium's essence now ran through his veins, he would need to become immortal to attain the Avatar of Destruction. Exhausted from the battle, Drake fell asleep, and awoke near an ecampment near the Chaos Gate. Drake was told by a stranger that he was found near the entrance to the Throne of Destruction, allegedly harmed by the dragonite while it was re-entering. None guessed that Drake had actually slain the monster. Drake also realized that his katana had split into two wakizashis...both with unusual attributes (such as an aura) A number of Veshan, Batan-Tor, and Kyath were disputing over whether to journey through the portal. Many astronmers argued that Draknor was dying, and that its inhabitatns should seek a new world. Others claimed it was a portal to Hell, were more daemons like Azmodan would live. The Kyath enjoyed the notion, but no one else did. In the end, a select group of mages, including Drake's surviving aunt, decided to journey through the portal. Drake decided to follow his aunt, and vanished through the portal. Mysteriously, the red portal closed when Drake crossed over. It was not until Draknor's final days (literally) that anyone dared to imagine that Drake took with him Chromium's essence. -=The Fifth Age=- Draknor, finally at peace, began a campagin to rediscover its lost roots. Surviviors of the Great Kingdomes were welcomed back into the cultured lands of Vesha, Necropotence, and even Sanzanar(for the most evil). Most of the daemons had died, but those who had survived took refuge within a Hell-like outpost beneath Sanzanar's southern temple to Azmodan. (Kyath who prayed to Azmodan would in fact actually have their "god," respond back!) Draknorians, as these united people called themselves, worked hard to rebuilt architecture, rediscover lost magics, and pursue the sciences. Technology became a dominant trend in Draknor, almost surpassing magic in knowledge and popularity. The first successful Draknorian sattelite, Crax II, orbits around the planet's only surviving moon. (The meteor that crashed into Draknor near the second age was actually the smaller of Draknor's twin moons) This all changed, though, through the next five-hundred years after the dragonite's destruction. Cobalt, reborn as Hazanko Dakmar, would take over Draknor with an iron fist. His power of Shadow and Fire made him undisputed, and his magical armour prevented even the most powerful magical attacks from penetrating. The drawback was that the armour fed off Dakmar's flesh...his body disentegrated to nothingness, and his spirit was corrupted into negativity; he became a wraith-propelled monster. The Chaos Gate would open because of the colliding shifts of magic, primarily linked to a high expulsion rate of energy by Draknor's dying sun. Dakmar would lead the majority of his forces into Gaia in an attempt to gain dominion over another world, but when Dakmar enetered the portal, much like what happened with Drake, it collapsed. Perhaps an evil diety was smiling upon Dakmar, because a scant week after his departure, Draknor's sun went super-nova, destroying the planet and all who lived upon it. -=The Sixth Age=- There is much dispute over the sixth age of Draknor, because the planet was destroyed in the fifth age. However, several divinators of New Arcana agree that Draknor has somehow been spared, it's sun reborn as a yellow-sun right before super-nova. This odd behavior could only stem from alterations in the time-stream, a seperate planar force from the Mana-Stream, but so far, only powerful mortals (Like Beelzebub, Kenkai, and perhaps Kevhendross) are capable of traversing perpendicular realms. It is among debate, however, that perhaps the dragonites possessed this power as well... Character Biographies (and Bestiary) Genkasu- "Lord of Honor" Drake Christopher Dragon's kendo teacher, twenty-eighth master "Hiko," of the Hiten-Mitsurugi Ryuu. Genkasu would not teach Hiten Mitsurugi to Drake, because of Drake's uncontrollable evil and embrace of chaos. However, he did manage to instruct the boy in the most rudimentary techniques of kendo, including Battoujutsu. Drake managed to corrupt one of Genkasu's Hiten Mitsurugi techniques into one of his own, "Kai Ryu Sen," which created a transfer of spirit energy from a person, through a blade, and to another. Swordmaster Genkasu and his friend Zanbo were originall from Gaia, but they entered Draknor while trying to trace the source of several Orcish invasions in northern Shaiyao. Taken as slaves by the Batan-Tor, Archwizard Archimonde recognized their value, purchasing and pardoning them from the Batan-Tor Necromancers. Archimonde asked Genkasu and Zanbo to train the non-magic capable citizens of Vesha in the ways of hand-to-hand combat, and the two swordmasters agreed. Genkasu was assassinated by Shadow Theives for resisting Hazanko Dakmar's "Great Purge," of Vesha in 712 B.P. Zanbo- "Lord of Loyalty" Genkasu's long-time friend, Zanbo and Genkasu travelled together through a small Gaia portal to Draknor, where they were taken as prisoners and eventually freed. Master of Jujitsu and the sword technique, Gatotsu, Zanbo and Genkasu worked together to train the unruly yet powerful Drake Christopher Dragon. Zanbo managed to confer his aerial Gatotsu Nishiki to his young ward, although Drake never mastered any other techniques from him. Zanbo battled with Genkasu against a Shadow Theif assassination, but Genkasu was killed and Zanbo taken prisoner. In 714 B.P. he was executed publically at Arcana, the "Seat of Magic," city in Vesha. Archaemon- "Lord of Wizards, Apprenti, Wards" Nephew to Archimonde, Archaemon was leader of the Veshan Battlemages, and was head Archwizard of Vesha in Archimonde's absense. Archaemon recognized Drake Christopher Dragon's magical potential as soon as he was born, even though the Veshan Diviners had predicted him to be a mage of mediocre power, perhaps even someone incapable of magic. Archaemon began fashioning Drake's prowess and willpower at the same time Genkasu and Zanbo trained him physically and metally. The archwizard was marvellously successful, for at age six Drake was capable of casting second-level mage spells, a feat the top University Sorcerors could barely accomplish without sufficient training. Archaemon had begun teaching Drake lessons on how to control and form The Mana Stream before he was murdered by Narane's Shadow Thieves. Hazanko Dakmar- "Lord of Terror" Reincarnation of Cobalt, one of the four Godslaying Metal Dragons who ravaged Draknor in 676 B.P. Cobalt had been killed by Archimonde, but the dragon's spirit would not be accepted into the underworld by M@lintex T3rek until his portolio, Terror, had been confined to an Orb of Baash. The Veshan Sorcerers had been derelict in their duty, fearing Chromium, who had escaped death from Archimonde, was flying back to destroy a helpless Vesha. The Veshan had instead only managed to capture part of Cobalt's porfolio, Fear, allowing the profile of Phobia to enchant Cobalt's corpse. Cobalt's metallic flesh was churned into a suit of armour by the Dwarven Mountain King Layden III. Cobalt himself was reborn to a poor Veshan family, where for the next twenty years he trained and conditioned himself for a government coup. Dakmar remembered nothing of his former life as Cobalt, but his ambition and lust for power remained even when his memory did not. Dakmar became a profoud politician in Vesha, eventually seizing power by assassinating his rival, Tiar'Zhul'gaal, a Sahuagain ambassador, and using the murder as an example of the unrest in Draknor. Upon his ascension to Parlimentary King of Vesha, Dakmar was gifted a suit of Black Armour by Layden IV, who was unaware that his father, Layden III, had forged the suit out of Cobalt's metallic shell. When Dakmar donned his old skin, his memories, and a chunk of his original powers, returned. Dakmar's class was promoted to Godslayer (Anti-Paladin/Flame Veshan Sorcerer), and he gained the title "Lord of Phobia," until he was able to track down the Black Orb of Baash, smash it, and regain "Fear," to complete the "Lord of Terror," porfolio. In 699 B.P., Dakmar proclaimed that the Batan-Tor and Kyath were infiltrating Vesha, and that the country was unstable and could be easily subjected to a coup. In the name of "Homeland Security," Dakmar dissolved Vesha's parliment (only after he was sure he had Veshan support) and begun his "Great Purge," campagin to filter out and execute defectors to the Batan-Tor and Kyath mage clans. Archaemon, the biggest threat after Archimonde's "death," had been killed by Shadow Theives (for oppossing Narane's expansion into the Halls of Tungsten) when Dakmar was a boy, but the two "outsiders," Genkasu and Zanbo were quickly killed. In a complimentary campaign to the "Great Purge," Dakmar instituted the "Universal Expansion," which challenged the limitations of space on Daelor and called for dimensional conquest. Veshan Transmuters, only vaguely familiar with the oscillation cycles of dimensions, dangerously experimented with fabricating tears under Dakmar's threats of death. They lucked out, and managed to create a tear and stabilize it into a portal to Ichi, the nearest universe to Ni in terms of null-space distance. Dakmar used the success and libertine propaganda to express his endorsement of conquest in the "Unknown Frontier," and immediately commissioned nearly ALL of Vesha's forces for immediate invasion of Gaia. Secretly, Dakmar wanted to obtain the other portfolios of Draknor, but he was unsure how, although he beilived that he could obtain the portfolios of Carnage, Destruction, or War by invading Gaia. His desire for power lead him into pacts with the Batan-Tor and Kyath, who were promised liberal territory in the "Unknown Frontier," after conquest. Only the promises of blood and combat allowed Dakmar to goad the surviving lesser-races of Draknor, like the Ogres, Orcs, Goblins, and Wargs. Dakmar's invasion caused "The Endless War," of Gaia, which ravaged for years until the residents of Jiijen bombed Dakmar's stronghold in Melmerand with a Fusion Bomb. The portal to Draknor was sealed by the many magical species of Gaia, trapping Dakmar and spelling doom for Gaia; the bomb caused destruction to the planet's ecosystem and core, which lead to estimates of fifty-years until the planet would self-destruct. When Drake Christopher Dragon travelled back in time, he chased Dakmar back into Draknor and fought the Lord of Terror in physical combat. Dakmar managed to slay Drake, but the Lord of Destruction returned and crushed Dakmar, even after Dakmar transformed into Cobalt. Slash Enders battled Dakmar's Shade in Hades during his search for M@lintex T3rek, but without his title Dakmar was easy prey for the exceptionally powerful Slash. Archimonde- "Lord of Magic" Greatest archwizard of Dranor, holder of the title "Lord of Magic," and warhero of Vesha many times over. Archimonde was a young sorcerer when the Godslaying Metal Dragons arose from the depths of Draknor, and in response he designed many spells to protect Vesha from their attacks. During the Reign of Destruction, Archimonde cast an un-focused 10th level spell ("Unknown Magic Spell,") and obliterated the dragon Cobalt and mortally wounded the dragon Chromium, who immediately fled. Archimonde had drained his life force using the spell, but several Apprenti Batan-Tor Necromancers, grateful for his efforts to protect him, attempted to use a type of curative-magic to preserve him until healers from Vesha arrived. Their spells, however, instead killed Archimonde, prematurely rotting and aging his corpse and breathing neagative energy into his bones. Archimonde was forcebly ressurected as a Lich King, which immediately began on a rampage of destruction across Daelor. The Veshan parliment combined their efforts and entombed Archimonde within an enchanted sarcophagus, then casting the coffin into the endless sea. All Draknor wept that day, for a true hero had fallen so far from the light of good. Tiamat- "Lord of Carnage" Tiamat is the bastard offspring of Kevhendross the Blazen, who forced himself upon Alexstrasza, Lady of Dragons (only porfolio to have a female counterpart), who was Bahamut's mate. Alexstrasza perished birthing the Blood Eeg, which Bahamut cast into Gaia out of grief, embarassment, and anger. The egg hatched into a five-headed monster, which pursued Bahamut to the ends of Gaia in hunger for his portfolio and power. Tiamat followed Bahamut up Mount Olympus, and orchestrated a massive campaign against the draconian city of Shan-Gri-La in Heaven's Dale, a country located on a plateu a fourth of the way to Olympus' peak. Slash delt with Tiamat, severing Tiamat's red, white, and blue heads and wounding the dragon in several vital arteries and organs. His army crushed, Tiamat fled Heaven's Dale, eventually taking refuge in the Swamps of Bough. He was discovered shortly before Drake Christopher Dragon's invasion of Hades by Colonel Vanderpool Wolfsword, when the soldier was investigating deaths near the town of Hasson Head. Vanderpool only neaded to shoot Tiamat once with his castor to fully kill the dragon. I'm a bit tired, but I will write some more tomorrow. Expect the following to be up: Kevhendross the Blazen Baalzebub Beelzebub Bahamut Kevhendross the Blazen- "Lord of Chaos" Kevhendross is a hybrid clone, made from daemonic tissue found on Hellion, the blood planet in the dimension of Mi. The tissue was reproduced and restructured on Zengan, homeworld of the Kei Pirates. Combining elements of biotechnology and Tao Magic, the pirates (after hundreds of attempts) succesfully birthed* a firey-red Hell egg, which hatched into a young dragonling. The Kei Pirates realized, far too late, that Kevhendross could not be controlled; the draconian monster began, within two hours after birth, a killing rampage across Zengan. The dragon could consume and assimilate nutrients from anything he devoured, which ranged from solid stone to living flesh. Kevhendross ravaged Zengan for a year, for up until that time he had been held at bay by millions of Kei Pirates, who had returned to their homeworld just to battle this monster. The Galactic Imperials were slow to notice the disappearence of the pirates and their shady black market, but they grew suspicious when fewer and fewer raids and attacks could be conducted against established Kei ports. Kevhendross had grown to the size of a mountain, but when he reached Khaz'Zhu, capital city of Zengan, the dragon's power ballooned. Kevhendross burned the city for three days, and devoured every last life form, in addition to all the permenant structures. The dragon had also consumed the Kaioshen, a magical artifact that awoke a person's magical awareness and focused their mental and spiritual energies. The Kaioshen's magic stimulated Kevhendross' growth rate, allowing the red dragon to assume the size of a planet. Kevhendross wrapped his coils around Zengan, constricting the planet untill it collapsed to rock and ice. For the next seventy years, Kevhendross ravaged the entire Mi dimension, eradicating every ship, world, or civilization he came across. The dragon became a legend of horror, somewhat of a mythical story, which was told to young children or cocky Imperial Officers for a decent scare. Many spoke of Kevhendross' violet fire, or his bodily design that allowed him to convert any matter into a breathable gas, allowing existence in space. The true terror of Kevhendross was that he was all too real; none ever lived to report a sighting of the dragon, and only the most profound and exceptional Admirals knew of his existence. The legend of Kevhendross became known to all, however, when the dragon discovered and attacked the Super-Starship Dark Eclipse, a Galactic Warstar class vessel that served as a battleship and weapons platform. The ship was one of seven designed for complete galactic conquest, and was powerful enough to subjugate even an entire star-system. Kevhendross began raining destruction on the Dark Eclipse from over a hundred kilometers away in 1346 G.T.S.M. (approximately 233 B.P.) while the ship was in Hyper-Space. Kevhendross' attack was his "Atomic Fireball," breath weapon, which cased significant enough damage to Dark Eclipse that the warship had to leave Hyper-Space. Kevhendross approached the ship within a day after it left Hyper-Space, although the navigators on the ship assumed Kevhendross was a meteor. Within hours, an epic battle between the ship and Kevhendross began, lasting nearly a week (For more details, see the BATTLES section). Kevhendross was killed when Dark Eclipse engineers redesigned the solar pannels to absorb Kevhendross' "Lighting Impact," technique, and using the electric-based attack back on the dragon. Kevhendross was physically weakened by his own attack, and was easily destroyed by the Phaeon Turbolasers of the ship. When Kevhendross died, his spirit went to Hell, where it was forcibly gated to Ichi by Beelzebub as a mount against Kenkai. During the battle, Kevhendross used a special attack that required both his mouths, and the ensuing projectile shattered the fabric of space and time in Ichi, forcing the rip to overlap and form an unstable tear. Beelzebub fashioned the tear, stabilizing it into a portal, and excaped to Draknor, where he attained the portfolio of "The Flies." Kevhendross was gifted the portfolio of "Chaos." The four super-powers battled in space, easily attaining the attention of star-gazing Draknorian races. The four dragonites Chromium,Cobalt, Iron and Tungsten, out of sheer rage and jealousy of the four beings' power, rose up to battle. The dragonites attacked whomever was close enough to engage, and for two weeks they fought as a third party against Kenkai and Beelzebub. Beelzebub, seeking to end the stalment, used his newfound portfolio powers and began to decay and corrupt Draknor**. Kenkai and Shenron strove to stop him, but they were weakened from the battle, which allowed Beelzebub to nearly mortally wound Kenkai and heavily damage Shenron. The Lord of the Flies then pushed Kenkai and Shenron back through the Dimensional Portal he had made, sealing it off after the two benevolent super-powers had passed through. The Vesha, believing that they could banish Kevhendross, Beelzebub, and the dragonites, combined their spells to open a portal to Tartarus. The endless monster, Tartarus, pulled Kevhendross and Beelzebub into his dimension. The dragonite Cobalt, realizing the danger of the portal, cast a sphere of shadow magic over the gateway to prevent himself from being consumed. Eventually, the portal collapsed, trapping Kevhendross and Beelzebub in Tartarus. Beelzebub had a mysterious sway over Tartarus, and tricked it into beliving that Beelzebub and Kevhendross did not exist, and that they were not in Tartarus' dimension. Kevhendross remained in Tartarus, never allowing himself too close to Tartarus mouth to allow Beelzebub's illussion to be dispelled, until he was defeated by Drake, Slash, Vanderpool, and Takara. Too weak to maintain stability, Kevhendross fell into Tartarus' mouth, where he was consumed and expelled as mana into The Mana Stream of Ni. Spellcasters all across Draknor feld a power surge when Kevhendross was killed, for, ironically, the Lord of Chaos' death was what allowed The Mana Stream to keep flowing without running out***. *- The Hell Egg had to be incubated inside a living being, and so a young woman named Naru Takahasi was stolen from her homeworld and forcibly impregnated (by ripping open her body) with many hundreds of experimental eggs. These eggs forcibly stole nutrients from her body, as well as extending tendrils to all vital organs to monitor her bodily functions. When it was time for the Hell Egg itself to emerge, it forcibly ripped through Naru's vaginal canal, tearing off her lower torso. Ignored by the Kei Pirates, Naru bled to death in agony. Naru was rescued by Vanderpool Wolfsword and Takara Yatsura, in an attempt to rescue her and prevent Kevhendross from having a living host to drain. **- Beelzebub only began to decay Draknor and corrupt the Vesha for an hour or so, but Beelzebub's raw power caused tremendous ecological damage to Draknor (decay to almost all plant-life, oceans black, arid climate, red soil, crumbling cities and mountains) and perverted the species into malevolence and chaos. ***- The Mana Stream had been flowing into the Negaverse at this time, caused primarily by Beelzebub, who realized that all of Ni would collapsed without the life-giving power of The Mana Stream. Kevhendross inadvertently saved Draknor by supplying enough mana to keep the stream flowing until the Negaverse portal could be sealed. Herr Doktor Heinrich von Hollehammer- "Doctor of Doom/Android Psycho Shocker Heinrich von Hollehammer was a scientist living in Gaia's syndicated fifth age, after the galaxies of Mi had fused into Ichi, and after Drake Christopher Dragon had saved Gaia's original fifth age. A time of technology and weaponry, Gaia's fifth age suited Hollehammer, who grew up hungry for knowledge and a knack for inventing powerful technological or biological weapons. Hollehammer was also a politician, to an extent, and it was this connection that ruined his reputation. Political rivals, critical of Hollehammer's views on corruption in Rudolph P. Wellesly's company, leaked to the press false accounts of Hollehammer accepting bribes and favours, as well as acts of smuggling and thievery. The world-class scientist, however, had no connections to such things, and the average inhabitant of Neo-Melmerand knew as much. Only when rivals began to go in depth to Hollehammer's past attempts at genetic manipulation, specifically, his attempts at creating new species, did any allegations against him grab foothold. It was illegal in Neo-Melmerand to do horrible crimes against nature, although genetic manipulation was often employed. The people reacted violently to Hollehammer, and a lynch mob approached his compound one night and set it ablaze. The famous scientist, nearly dead, fled into the underworld of Gaia, a penniless, broken man... ...Until he rose from the shadows, nearly a year later, seeking revenge against his rivals. Hollehammer had built a robotic body, with impliments of whatever flesh remained of him, creating a tall, slender, and meancing android mech. Solitude and fear of capture drove Hollehammer insane, so when the scientist was first spotted, it was after he had murdered every senator in Gaia at a world-wide convention. The newspapers branded him "The Android Psycho Shocker," after his favoured means of attack, a purple ball of electrical energy. Most people came to know him as "Doctor of Doom," or simply Doom, because of a chilling speech he made publically several days after his assassinations. Doom called for "...an end to civilized society, bathed in corruption and libertine...Doom for the rich and powerful...doom for the corrupt...doom for the living." Bounty Hunters from across the planets, of note the Ghost Hunters, sought after Doom. They nearly caught him on several occassions, but Doom fled to his laboratory far beneath Melmerand's capital city. There he remained, alone, always in fear of being caught by hunters. After all, he had a 1,200,000,000 drachma bounty on his head. Doom's mechanical modifications allowed him to see energy signatures, of note the heat from human bodies. He was able to escape capture using this modification, but Doom could also see something only the Ghost Hunters could; extoplasmic energy sources, or essentially ghosts. Gaia was full of them, mostly restless, shapeless souls killed during The Great War. Doom, my sheer luck, ventured to the surface one day and encountered a corpreal ghost, who could speak back to him. This ghost was Drake Christopher Dragon, who made a bargain with Doom; a reputation for a new, enhanced body. Drake used his ethereal powers to help clear Doom's name, often finding evidence logged in computers which the scientist used to strengthen any court case he would find himself in. Doom ventured to Baeon's Mountain, the massive gravesite of all the fallen of The Great War, and dug up Drake Christopher Dragon's preserved body. After technical modifications, of note opening Drake's third eye and awareness to psychic power, Drake was called back into his body, where he was given life anew. The next ones are a serious "maybe," but will be up by Tuesday or Wednesday. Philleas T. Wellesly Avatar of Destruction Theobald "Slash," A.
