The Legacy of the Dragon Kingdom and its Monarchy

Section I The History of Dragons and Wyverns The Dragon Kingdom in age alone surpasses the rest of the Arcaic Empire. Long before the Crystal Holders slayed Chaos, or even the slaying of the emperor by the four heroes, dragons and wyverns had already existed thousands of years. Their history in the timeline of the Arcaic Era alone is quite fascinating. In the beginning, though as peaceful and guiding as they are to us, The dragons hated us and only served as food when needed. The Dragon monarchy had not come out from beneath the earth yet. But as they always have been, the wyverns were our allies. From about 100 years before the rising of the evil emperor thru to about the end of Lord Gordon's rule they lived with and were cared for by the Dragoons. The Dragoons raised and trained and protected them, and the wyverns in return gave the dragoons undying loyalty and helped them in battle. Unfortunately they were almost all slaughtered by the Emperor. One dragoon lived. His name was Richard. There was also one wyvern left. When the four heroes visited him he entrusted to them his mate's egg before his death. They hatched the egg and then, by chance, ran into Richard. History provides little note of Richard's death, but some evidence says that he sacrificed his life to save the four heroes. The last wyvern somehow left behind a female and a male egg just before his death. Over time, the wyvern population tripled what it had onec been, but they had forgotten their civil ways, resorting back to instinct. Then, almost 1,000 years after the emperor had been slayed for good, the Dragons would make peace with our kind. Their government would flourish, while ours eroded into large city-states. They would help civilise the wyverns, and for 3,000 years their kingdom grew. Our friendship with them strengthened incredibly. It was then that King Bahamut, to this day the sovereign of all dragons and wyverns, began raising our warriors class. This was very hard to achieve, and few obtained it. Destiny once again fell on to the governmental system dragons and wyverns had. As the Crystal Holders needed the class upgrades to continue their quest. He grant it to them, as they had passed the secretive dragon rite for the class upgrade. He unknowingly helped them destroy Chaos. As the Arcaic Empire rose, we were, and still are helped greatly by them. Bahamut built the shrine to our first Queen. He also built Gatrea, our capital. This is more than enough to say that we are forever thankful to them and owe our world to them.Glossary:
Dragon: any four legged, winged, fire-breathing lizard-like creature.
Wyvern: same as a dragon,except in that they can control the weather instead of breath fire, and its arms and wings are combined together.
Bahamut: the great sovereign of all dragons and wyverns, who has ruled for 5,000 years.
