Origins of Rildan

The Beginning
A record of the posession of Kalus, Priestess of Teek, in the year 4123

From Kalus Herself:

" Existence is lord over all.

Existence is the creator.

From it came Rildan, heaven, and hell.

Dragons, gods, fire, and rain.

Gods shaped the earth,

then warred over power,

Existance kept balance.

Gods made other things,

to war over power,

Existance kept balance.

Existence keeps balance,

through courage, faith, and pain.

Existence is all things.

Good, evil, and nothing..."

Interpretation
Rildan was birthed from Existence, as were the planes, in the beginning. Existance made the gods, who lived upon Rildan and formed the land. From the gods rose the inhabitants of Rildan, including all animals, plants, and races of intelligence. Some gods were of good kind, and some of evil, Existence keeps everything in balance. Soon there was war upon Rildan, the gods rending their creations and destroying the world.

Existence swept the gods into the heavens, spreading them across the planes and thus ending the godwar. From their new seats, the gods plotted and began manipulating the powers in Existence. New creatures were birthed across the planes, created both by Existence and the gods, Existence maintaining the balance. Finally, a new creature was seen on Rildan, created from Existence to rule with conscience and justice, the dragon.

The dragon from Existence was perfect in every way, much like the gods. Its scales shone every color of the spectrum and its power was overmatched only by the gods. Soon after the arrival of the prismatic dragon, the gods began their own fabrications of the dragon, and thus more were introduced into Rildan to rule over the masses.

The dragons ruled for nearly four millennia, keeping order and ruling over the child races placed in Rildan by the gods. Overseeing Elves were the Blue dragons, Dwarves the Gold, Humans the Black. This is proven by drawings and records of the previous ages. This reading from Teek through me portends something catastrophic in Rildans future, I pray I do not see it.
