In the silent, infinite tapestry of the cosmos, there was once a being of radiant light:
Virellia, the Gold Star Dragon. One of the nine Pure Divine Dragons, she was the
celestial embodiment of beauty, love, and peace. For centuries, she drifted through
the stars as a cosmic observer, her heart eventually finding a peculiar fondness for
the simple grace of the animal kingdom.
With a single, afectionate thought, Virellia bestowed a blessing upon them. Under her
divine gaze, these animals evolved—gaining intelligence, strength, and a spirit that
mirrored the stars. They became the Demi-Humans, a race that looked upon the Gold
Star Dragon not just as a creator, but as their Mother Goddess.
The Great Draconic Lament
The peace was shattered when the True Divine Dragons turned against one another,
igniting a war that scorched the foundations of reality. Blinded by the heat of battle,
the nine Pure Dragons failed to see that their conflict was tearing apart the very
followers they had sworn to protect.
By the time Virellia realized she was destroying her own beloved children, the world
was half-consumed by ash. Stricken by grief and the weight of her own divine
mistakes, she and her eight siblings made a harrowing choice: to abandon their
creations so that the races might survive without the interference of gods.One by one, the nine Pure Divine Dragons descended into deep, eternal slumbers
within hidden tombs in their respective kingdoms. There, they remained—resting as
silent guardians, hearing the prayers of their followers but forced to remain still for
the safety of the world.
The Shaking of the South
For centuries, the balance held. To the South, Virellia's Demi-Human kingdom shared
an uneasy peace with the neighboring realm of Aurex, the Water Star Dragon. While
the rest of the world fractured into petty wars, the children of the Gold Star and the
swifts of the Water Star—the Lizardmen and Mermaids—lived in a rare state of
harmony.
But harmony is a fragile thing.
It was shattered by Valerius, the Lion Demi-Human. His betrayal gave the Aurex
kingdom the courage to attempt the impossible: the total conquest of the South. They
marched with the confidence of the tides, led by the strongest general their race had
ever produced—Sparta.
They expected a glorious victory. They did not expect the Monster.
Now, the Water Star kingdom of Aurex is shaking to its very foundations. Their
greatest general has been "stolen," their army of 100,000 has been deleted, and the
silence falling over the South is far more terrifying than the sound of any war.
Deep within her tomb, the Gold Star Dragon stirs in her sleep. For the first time in
centuries, the "noise" of her children's sufering has been silenced—not by peace, but
by a power that even a Divine Dragon might fear.
