The World Bones

**The World Bones** are mythic dragons created by The Four to act as the foundations for Cato Vilo to be built upon. It is believed that the topography of each province is created by the positioning of the dragons' sleeping bodies, each handcrafted by the gods with distinct characteristics to give shape and diversity to the world. Each continent is made of a classification of dragon, and each province is comprised of one dragon.

## Cultural Significance

The World Bones are considered godlike beings, above the Stars but below the Four and Se in terms of power. Rather than having local churches or domestic shrines dedicated to them, they have notable landmarks named after them, such as Vyldraegoth's Ridge in Negrathi or Aetherinith's Eyrie in Estrella Tseluna, where specific shrines are constructed to contain the dragons' hoards, gifted to them by worshippers paying their respects.

It is heavily debated in theological circles whether the World Bones ever actually existed as living dragons on Cato Vilo, or if they have always been more allegorical in nature. There have been reports of dreams or portents of the dragons, but never any evidence of physical encounters with them - though tall tales and poetic eddas have been written with such high claims. Nevertheless, people have attributed physical traits and personalities to the dragons as a means to better understand and interpret them.
