Astora

*For it's parallel location, see Uraya (Dragoma Dimensions)*

**Astora** *(アストラ Asutora)* lit. **Arcis** is the fictional continent located in the middle of Exivus that appeared in *KvD: Chronicles,* along with the future variant clone in *Draconic DIVERGENT / AWAKENING* but is now the primary setting to *Dragoma* and *Dragoma Rise Above.* The continent compromises of two major pieces of land split into their respective halidoms, Eruturia and Valheim.

## History

The world itself was constructed by the Trinity and Saint Dragons, undying wisps of mystic breath engulfed their perfect creation. Alongside humans and dragons harmonized in peace, their intentions for creating two ancient relics that greatly channel out her divine power would stabilize the two halidoms under balance. Holy blade Galadeus and holy shield Infinity Ra. Entitling trust upon the first exalt of Delyra, another core was crafted by a pessimistic but ruthless sage who then thirsted after both the Unity Ra core and the Shadow Ra core. 100 years passed since creation. Born a Zeraiyan noble, Zera Rickers creates his militia team to venture out across the ancient landmark to investigate Galadeus's whereabouts before readying to face a resurrected Medeus. Galahad rallies in to aid him to an accomplished victory, restoring peace throughout Astora.

### Draconic DIVERGENT

With the Zeraiyan lore fueling Astora into a futuristic world out of neon lights and steel, the respective continents are still rashed apart except for the Grand Design, a stencilla glass dome that encases and houses the world from distant blue. With the citizens of Astora having the internal power to imaganeer, mentally conjuring up physical objects for a better civilization, both Eruturia and Valheim have become more stable due to the fact that both cores are now taking place of the past weapons, Galadeus and the Infinity Emblem shield transguised into Unity Ra and Shadow Ra. Imitating Earth like elements, each kingdom has become a major city, villages now settled into middle class towns. Everybody on Astora has Draguz traits, meaning they have the ability to shape shift into an animal / dragon like creature. It was temporarily forbidden to utilize Draguzstones since it caused a major threat to the world's De:construction, the idle breakdown of imaganeered objects. Ever since Zera's accidental but clumsy head bump against the kitchen table, the clumsy phenomenon splurred many shifters in existence and fueled the continuation of Draguzstones and imageneering. The head of Astora, a female mayoress named Avenra inhales desire and sore thirst for ending the Draguz lore. After many Draguz teams ravishly faced the heretic Emperor Luinra, the Unity and Shadow Ra cores stabilize Astora after Avenra is long diminished near a foiled cell from the outskirts of Fera. The prevention of Luinra chaotically plundering Astora is now befriended by Marco Seidlitz, gaining the guts to tame the heretic dragon as his official dual shifting partner. Several years later punctuates Zera and Falco's marriage, Robin and Mila yelling happily months later. With the Evergrande Draguz Alliance celebrating in casual joy, the Rickers smile bashfully at how they were able to cope after the Luinra possession disaster 1,000 years ago. With a new phenomenon game spurring up Astora into craze, "Dragoma" populates around, combating tamers in a full fledged VR experience.

### Draconic AWAKENING

With a new leader and group under rise, Rickers notifies every team like wildfire in regards of the Beast Raiders bound to forbid Draguz shifting by attempting to lure darkness past the shattering Grand Design. After plans dispatch, the teams traverse into expedition, attempting to secure the Grand Design's 5 damaged LED steel locks that firmly run the makeshift glass dome alive. With the face behind all of his alluring deeds, Zoran von Babel manages to grip hold of both cores before exploiting the powers to his chaotic creation, Typhon Azazel. With Delyra as it's centerpiece of war, the two tectonic halidoms drift violently across the sea, crashing into each other in accordance of borderline merging. Fireballs and sleek plated Icicles plunder madly from the sky like a fleet of speeding arrows, every Draguz shifter under desperate pressure and measure to seek refuge. With plans dispatched into flow, the Evergrande Draguz Liberation Army thunders into their XB evolved forms, striking down Azazel along with the restored Emperiyan Draguzstones.

Astora is reverted back to how it was, with the Grand Design fully restored.

Astora's Calendar uses "Imperial Year" as its era name, and the epoch or origin event of the era is the founding of the continent under Zeraiya's divine breath. The events of *KvD: Chronicles / Dragoma* initially take place in Space Moon of Imperial Year 0:80, and then resume in 0:85. Space Moon is considered the start of a new year in Astora.
