The Three Brothers

Reinos, Saleos, and Hetrassus are the the three dragon brothers that split ownership of Aezyron. Renios owns the Dearth, Saleos the Divinity, and Hetrassus the Empire.

## Reinos

Reinos the Red Dragon, ruled the Dearth, the least populated portion of Kolme Kruuna. Reinos had many wives, and was very preoccupied with building his family rather than maintaining his empire. This was one of many reasons leading to the downfall of the Dearth as a grand empire. The Dearth is riddled with red and silver Dragonborn, with lineage tracing back to Renios.

### The Champion

Reinos the Champion was a common way to refer to Reinos in ancient times. Those who have lived for a very long time (mainly elves) have passed this on by word-of-mouth.

## Saleos

Saleos, the Blue Dragon, ruled over the Divinity.

* There is a myth that Saleos's tail is what creates rainbows.

## Hetrassus

Hetrassus, the Black Dragon, ruled over the Empire.

Hetrassus ruled over the creatures in the land until the First Emperor arrived. The First Emperor struck a deal with Hetrass

The ancient emperor made a promise with the black dragons in the Palepeak mountain region to supply them with gold in exchange for peace.

* If this quota is not met, the dragons will unleash a brutal attack against the empire as long as gold is still in supply, this is not an issue (BUT IT CAN BE!)

## **Creation Myth**

### Roic & Mara: Aezyron's Birth

Roic is Aezyron's sun, and Mara the moon.

* The two coexisted with nothing to look at except for each other and the distant stars. Roic fell in love with Mara. (He's just that good) Roic wanted to impress Mara by creating a beautiful planet for her. He made soaring mountains and crystal clear seas. He made gigantic golden waterfalls. He created humans as vessels to express love to his lady; every expression of love that humans communicated was Roic speaking directly to Mara. Mara adored the planet, and granted Aezyron its name and sealed its fate with a kiss. Mara's Kiss created all lifeforms to inhabit in the vast lands that Roic created. Roic's waterfalls now housed tadpoles and fish; his human creations could now bear children. Mara's Kiss created the 14 Gods to guide Aezyron's creatures and grant them hope. These Gods were sacred to Mara, she provided them with endless love and resources in exchange for them guiding the creatures of Aezyron through the trials that come with being alive.

### Birth of the Sons

* As much as Roic and Mara adored Aezyron and considered it their .. . how you say...cough.. **favorite child,** they wanted to provide caretakers for their beloved planet and to guard the Gods. The two abandoned their roles in the solar system and took the form of great dragons in order to visit the planet themselves, and chose a beachy nook (later to be known as Zin) to birth the Gods. Looking out into the bay and seeing 3 beautiful islands (the Phidos islands), Mara knew she wanted to have three sons to rule over the land, and take care of her beloved Gods when she could no longer be present on Aezyron. She knew she had to must back home and take her rightful place in the sky, as did Roic. Roic and Mara each plucked a draconic scale off of one another and planted them into the ground. Roic blessed the place where the scales had been buried. The earth below shook, creating a vast mountain range that would divide the land into three while three dragons slowly emerged out of the sea. Born of scale and divine wish, were: the eldest: Hetrassus, the middle: Reinos, and the youngest: Saleos. Mara instructed the younglings must protect the Gods and rule equally. They obeyed their mother and she soon departed to return, watching from the skies above.
* How did they start disobeying?

> *- Note: At this time, beings had barely settled into the Divinity, and the most populated areas were the areas that would be known as the Empire. There were, however, few elven folk settled in this area. These people would go on to spread the message about the divine history of Zin. This is also why earthquakes are considered to be blessings from the Gods.*
