The Mythical Age

This is the beginning of my world, during the Mythical Era when Dragons ruled the Realm.




In 0 Mythical Era (MA), the God Viius descended to the realm.  He formed it in all ways that are perfect.  One by one, the four lands were created.  They were inhabited by creatures.  Various beasts roamed the plains, ruled only by the first of the creatures.  The Dragons.


By 700 MA, the first created Dragon was named Eternal Queen of the Dragons.  The Queen of the Dragons, Nogard, created her seat of power in the Far North, past the Fields of Ice and Snow (Iolfa) and the Great Northern Mountains -- within the tallest Mountain in the world, known as Dragon's Throat, was where she resided.  Nogard created a system of ruling over the beasts of the world.

The Far North

The Dragons would be led by a council of three Dragons known as the Elder Dragons.  They contained Queen Nogard, Lord Ni'Tsua (the second created Dragon), and Lord Ni'Anoropa (the third created Dragon).  The Elder Dragons were given the power to travel to the Eternal Plane (Viius' Kingdom that exists outside of time and space) and back by Viius.

Symbol of the Elder Dragons

Viius left the Realm for a time, leaving the Elder Dragons to rule.  For eight hundred years, the Elder Dragons ruled fairly.  In 1500 MA, the Dragons split up their council's power even further.  They created a class of Dragons known as the Ancient Dragons and a Council made up of them.  The Ancient Dragons were given an increase in power and were referred to as Dragon Lords.


The Dragons Lords (which included the Elder Dragons as well), were given roles over specific species of animals.  Some took to being caretakers of the sea, while others became caretakers of the air.  But more Dragon Lords were needed.  So, many became caretakers of the land: The forests, the deserts, the mountains, the caves, the lakes, the rivers, and many other places.


Each Dragon Lord had the ability to change their form into any living creature, in order to easily protect them.  The Dragon Lords soon had their own followers and their own regions of control.  But all remained loyal to the Council and the Elder Dragons, with Viius being their God.



For one thousand and five hundred years there was peace and prosperity.  The creatures of the world were fruitful.  They lived in harmony with one another.  But in 3000 MA, a darkness plagued the Realm.  This darkness had been slowly spreading across the universe - caused by the ancient Cursed One, Malekith.



Malekith was one of the original creations in the universe by the God Viius.  Malekith however became filled with pride, greed, and doubt.  He sang darkness into the universe at the beginning of time, along with the song of Viius and the other six Kandryls.  His evil finally had reached the Realm.  Many of the Dragons fell pray to the Curse of Malekith, becoming Dark Dragons, fueled by evil.  This eventually led to a war, that tore the Realm apart.



In 3000 MA, the War of the Dragons began.  The land in the Southwest was scorched.  The main land was scared.  The Dragons commanded armies of beasts and creatures to fight.  Mountains were destroyed and valley's were made.  Giant craters were the result of the destruction.  These craters filled and became great lakes.  Deserts formed and volcanoes erupted.  The Realm was falling apart.



Incorruptible due to the power given to them by Viius, the Elder Dragons formed into one massive Dragon - named Norguel.  Norguel, deep within Dragon's throat in the Far North, created an alternate dimension, and a portal to that dimension, by use of a massive Kide Crystal - a crystal that enhances Vikus (the energy that binds everything together and flows directly from Viius).  This Alternate Realm (known as the Spirit Realm) was where Norguel went to lay three eggs, hidden away from the dangers of the Realm.



Norguel tended to the delicate eggs until they hatched.  The three dragons were named Na'Muhel, Arenndel, and Roannel.  These dragons have since been referred to as either the Protectors of the Realm or the Destroyers of the Realm.  They were created to do one thing: Eliminate all major threats that could cause the destruction of the world, and only being unleashed by Norguel.



Norguel then led the three from the Spirit Realm.  The four massive dragons fought against the forces of Malekith in 3500 MA.  Arenndel, the most powerful of Norguel's children, took back the mainland.  Roannel retook the land in the East.  Na'Muhel avenged the scorched lands of the west.  The last of the Dark Dragons fled to the Northeast, near a large Volcano.  Before the four dragons and their armies could reach them, they used their powers to embed themselves within the Volcano.  The Volcano became known as Death's Peak, and was declared unsafe for any to go near.  Norguel feared that if something went near Death's Peak they would be cursed by dark magic.



The War of the Dragons ended in 3700 MA.  However, the Realm had been ravaged by war.  Dragon Magic, second only to Pure Light Magic (Viius Magic), was meant to protect and bring life.  Instead, it had caused mayhem and destruction.  Norguel, along with every living Dragon, was deeply saddened by this.  She sent out the Dragon Lords, commanded by Na'Muhel, Arenndel, and Roannel.  They were ordered to restore the lands.  After three hundred years they succeeded.  The Dragons swore that they would never fight among themselves again.  They would strive to bring peace to the land.  And they became wiser for it.

Symbol of the Dragon Lords -- Ancient Dragons

In the year 4000 MA, Viius returned.  He was worshiped and all of creation sang out praises to Viius.  Viius wanted to share the gift of sentience not only to the Dragons but with a new creation as well.  He started small, and saw the goodness inside of Na'Muhel.  On Na'Muhel's continent, Viius picked up a pile of dirt.  He filled it with water, making mud.  With the mud he formed a man and woman.  He placed his lips on each, and gave them a part of his essence -- breathing life into them and making them more a part of Viius than the Dragons could ever be.  Viius named the man Muh and the Woman Muhha.  Telling them to be fruitful and ordering Na'Muhel to watch over them, Viius traveled the Realm with Norguel, finally ending up in the Spirit Realm.



Viius blessed the Spirit Realm with Pure Light Magic.  He also made it so that when any creature died, that they would awaken here.  These were just creatures however.  Animals.  Muh and Muhha could not enter as they were immortal, meaning they were unable to die from old age.  Viius then made it so that all Dragon Lords could at will enter into the Spirit World and could take others with them.  Viius gave the Dragons one final command.  To watch over and protect the descendants of Muh and Muhha as they were precious to him as well as a part of him.  Viius then created a symbol so that the whole world would remember Norguel, Na'Muhel, Arenndel, and Roannel.

The Dragon represents Norguel. 
The three knots represent Na'Muhel, Arenndel, and Roannel. 
The swirl in the chest represents Vikus and the Dragons connection to Viius.

Norguel then diffused, separating into Nogard, Ni'Tsua, and Ni'Anoropa.  The Elder Dragons returned to their duties, and began collecting all the stories about the War of the Dragons.



Viius then returned to Muh and Muhha, helping them and their children to create their own society, thus ending the Mythical Age and Beginning the Age of the Na'Muh.

The dot at the center near the lake is where
Muh and Muhha, along with their descendants, begin to settle.
