The many myths and legends seem to suggest it, and religious scripture tells a tale from the ages before time where the dragons – who had created the world of Draconicus at the behest of the gods – grew so prideful that they built the island of Draconica in their image, inviting the primeval peoples to worship them. The gods, angered by this insolence, sought to punish the dragons for their arrogance, and sent them into a slumber from which they have yet to arise. And still, their reality-altering powers are so strong, they continue to assert their influence on the world, even as they slumber. Meanwhile, the gods – visible in the form of the five moons of Draconicus, their duelling visages dancing across the sky – bring the scorn of Discordum, the Draconican sun, upon the planet, making vast stretches of land completely inhabitable, and causing untold mutations among the wretched creatures living there. Only the island of Draconica appears mysteriously untouched by this wrath of the gods.
