The Lore of Terriu

### **The World of Terriu**

*Legend has it that Long ago The Islands were once a Living creature of an immense size, known simply as the Ancient Dragon Terrius Or He of the Earth that soars across the Worlds.*

*It was thus in honor of his Legacy and life that we named our Planet Terriu.*

*Terriu itself is a World where The strands of Tana (Magic) Permeate the air, soil and the life forms that live upon and within it’s Wave touched lands, Unfortunately, Around Nine thousand years ago a great Calamity Struck The Islands of Terriu, This event which was Later dubbed The Time Chaos Disaster, stirred the Worlds Tana into a frenzy & caused the very Sky itself to Crack open,*

*The resulting Chaos from this event destroyed almost all of the higher technology of the era, And in the aftermath, the Creatures and beings that swarmed through the Scattered rifts Created a perfect Situation for the Four great Factions to form. One after the other they rose to power in order to protect what the Terriuns had left. Artegore, Mariklan, Tarkli and Aligine, each with their own ideals and methods that they felt would Stabilize the World land, But as their ideals were so vastly different from one other, War broke out, and In the midst of their great war A fifth power came to be, one that with the aide of the Faction Tarkli, began to slowly take over, step by step, with the Goal to unite the Four Great powers under a single Flag. Finally after a long period of time the Fifth Power Achieved Success and Placed a Queen upon the Throne, A Queen Who then Decreed The Capital City and the surrounding Lands to be Known as the Kingdom of DrakonHaven...*

### **The Twelve Divine Aspects of Terriu**

After the islands settled from the Great war it became apparent that cleaning up the aftermath was the least of the Sovereigns Problems. Information brought in by the Great Faction Aligine presented nothing but news filled with death for the New Kingdom. The holes that were left from the Time Chaos disaster were beginning to twist Open, and like a glass pane slowly cracking with ice in the Winters chill, So did the sky crack to the Realms beyond...

In desperation The Sovereign Queen sought out any who may have a way to save The World Land . Of the many that came to her call an Old Tinkerer stood out with a fanciful tale of a Divine Dragon Named Zircon that he had met as a child, a Dragon who was among Twelve holy beasts that were more as Gods then monsters or men, grasping at the stories told by this Tinkerer, The Queen sent out the Four Great Factions to Scour the land in search of these Twelve beasts...

Artegore was the First to find one for the Dragon Sardonyx had Roamed among the Artegoreans for a long time, satiating his urge for Battle among the warlike crowd,

not long after Sardonyx was found, Tarkli Found Filtiarn, Emaldia and Kakumei

Mariklan Then took to the land and sea and found Maraldus, Amethys and Saphin

and not to be left in the dust Aligine chased Tourmal, Talisma and Selecta across the wide islands before finally making contact with them.

Of the Twelve Sekorber and Zircon themselves took initiative and approached the Sovereign to see why she sought them all out.

In exchange for the help of the Twelve The kingdom offered up Riches, gold and things beyond belief to the Twelve and in return, Each Dragon would guard and help sustain a massive barrier placed around the Draelands to stop the cracks from spreading across the Euclase colored sky

*It has been a Over a thousand years Since the agreement was made between the Twelve Divine Dragons and with it their guidance and touch has become easily apparent across the World, Some Hail them as gods, or Monsters. others hail them as great and powerful heroes*

*But most agree that without their help in creating and Upholding the Barrier,*

*Terriu would not be the place it is Today....*
