Journal Xaoswolf's Journal: The World I have created... AD&D Post, non gamers beware 1
Back when history was just starting to be recorded and the oldest races were just discovering things like bronze, the world had may gods. These gods all bowed down to one powerfull diety that ruled them all, at least until he went mad and started a war with the other gods.
He began by turning the other gods against on and other, then as they weakened each other, he stepped in and killed those that he could, drove off the ones that he couldn't. When he stood over the world, his new prize, he smiled, then mad with power, began to destroy it.
The dragons, being the first race brought into being, and the last force able to confront the mad god. Vast armies of scaled bodies flew through the skies, many fell and were killed, but in the end, there were six left, and the mad god fell to the earth, leaving a vast crater.
These six dragons, having fed on the flesh and blood of the god, felt the power of godhood coursing through their veins. Each becomming a god in their own right. Sadly though, all that power was not enough for one, who lay in the arms of her mate, and slowly faded away.
Mad with grief at the loss of his mate, he flew far to the eastern continent where he began to remake all that he could, putting everything he could under his control.
The others each chose a domain, Realx built a lair in the crater, Fissure returned to his lair deep below the earths surface, Kalax Turned to the wilds of the north, and Maltarge sought his home within the waves of the seas.
As time would go on, these dragons would soon be worshipped as gods by the mortal races. History, and carefull editing, removes the names of the old gods, and any god attempting to gain a foot hold soon finds his congregation missing.
That's all I have time for now... I bring it up to date and give some play by plays of my characters exploits next time...
