The Lore of Lastra

History

In the beginning there were four Dragon Gods: Ieer, Ki, Domieen and Barthomel. These four Gods pooled their power and created the land of Lastra (in the last RP it was called Dragoon. Lastra and Dragoon are one in the same.). They created humans to start, then elves, dwarves and other races of old. Each dragon had a companion whom shared in their power and glory. The Dragon God's also created other dragons in their image. Thus the race of dragons and men was born.

However, Barthomel, a large red dragon, turned his back on the other three and suddenly waged war upon them. He lusted for more power and thought that their creations had gone far enough, and had taken far too much from them. Ieer, Ki and Domieen fought back. Their war lasted for many years. Cities were destroyed, some races driven to near extinction, and the crack of Godly power coursed through the skies for days. The Gods were not alone in their fight, for those that they created fought with them as well.

Near the end of the war, Domieen shifted sides for unknown reasons and it was the final battle between the four Gods. Finally, Ieer and Ki managed to destroy Barthomel, throwing him down in their last expel of power. Both dragons died thinking that they'd killed both Domieen and Barthomel in one sweep. However, they were very wrong. Domieen escaped death that day, and from then forward built his power and plotted in the darkness.

Talon V'lyn, a young assassin aged 22 at the time got caught up in the middle of everything and ended up with Ieer's bracer. The bracer held all of the old Dragon God's power, and it flooded the young assassin's body that wasn't supposed to be filled with magic. He met a beautiful mage along the way as well. Though beautiful, she was quite a handful, irking him often, tempting him often and driving him insane with just about everything she did. Talon's home, Skyfall, was sacked first, falling under a rebel group that later became known as 'The True Dragons'.

The True Dragon's began ravaging the lands right after, making their presence known. Next, Crystacia fell, their Queen killed by Domieen's hand. Under the words of 'Blood and Magic, our True God will Reign,' the rebel group sought to destroy everything in their path. Talon decided then that he would go after the rebels, and with him went the mage, Jennifer, a Dark elf from the old Alliance, Locien, another dark elf Lyuze and one of the few surviving elves of Crystacia, Rania. Together, they all traveled from city to city, following the visions that were given to Talon via the powerful bracer on his arm.

Ro'ell was the first city that Talon had a vision about. So the group set out to Ro'ell and attempted to save the city, only to suffer losses. First, Talon was struck hard by the realization that Jennifer wasn't entirely on his side about everything. She had her own reasons for fighting with him, but her heart lay with destruction, especially towards the city where she'd been raised. With her illusion magic, she made him witness her killing the King of the city. Afterwards, she was kidnapped by Domieen who confronted him. Meanwhile, Locien was also taken from the city. Both were brought to Laowlee, where Domieen had set up his base of operations. Locien was taken because of his power with a being called 'The Seeker', and Jennifer because she was a prodigy mage and superior in power to other mages.

As they fought with the True Dragons, growing closer to their goal, it slowly became apparent that the bracer was growing in power, and it was taking it's toll on Talon's body. In Kingsburrow, the assassin went to the library and researched the old lore to find that the bracer that was permanently stuck to his arm was that of the old Dragon God's Ieer. He was also informed that only mages and other beings of power would be able to handle it, anyone else would die from it slowly. With that in mind, he went right into battle anyway.

Jennifer found out about this, but he had already left her in a rush to evacuate the city before the attack came. Talon succeeded in saving only a portion of the cities inhabitant. He engaged in battle with Domieen, only to nearly lose his life in the process. The city crumpled then, caving in on itself by Domieen's utter power. Whilst the others made it safely out, Jennifer and Talon fell into the caves deep below the city and were left to their own devices to get out.

The group rendezvous back at Vaye where they meet up and come up with a new plan of action for taking on Domieen. It was decided that they should go after him at Laowlee, taking the beast by the lair, so to speak. So, they set out for Laowlee with an army behind them. Locien had rallied the Alliance, whilst Talon sent out word for the assassins to meet up with them as well.

(To make things short, and seeing as the RP 'Reign of Dragon's' is still going, I won't spoil too much for those who are joining in on this RP from that one ;) They don't kill Domieen in Laowlee, they have to go after a couple other things, engage in battle with Barthomel who will be raised, and eventually kill them both :D Yay! Okay, back to serious tone...)

Dragons and Companions

Dragons are a life long companion. They are connected to their companion through a mental connection that no one's really quite figured out just yet. All they know is that it happens when a Dragon picks a companion to be with. Both companion and dragon will feel each others emotions, read each others thoughts, console and tease each other in affection, and should one be hurt in anyway, the other would feel it.

If a dragon dies, the companion is put through hell, but they do not die. The companion may find another Dragon to be with. If the companion dies, the Dragon is also put through hell, but doesn't die. However, the Dragon will never find another companion to be with.

Dragon's are the main source of travel in Lastra. Though the war forty years ago dwindled their numbers, they still roam the land. However, they aren't reproducing like they used to. Ever so slowly, the dragons are becoming an extinct race here in Lastra. In another fifty years or so, the dragons will most likely be all but gone.
