-----The Site Story------
The
continent Ealya, also known as The Southern Land, is a cradle of life.
Here, minds are open wide, magic flows through most living things in
some way- And, alongside it, science and technology have thrived. Long
ago, Dragons and humanoid races came together in a joint understanding.
In honor of the first riders that ended a war ages ago, every two years,
the eggs of the dragons are hatched, and the offspring are given a
choice of fresh minds to bond to. Upon bonding to a humans or elves, the
new rider pairs will learn and grow together in harmony- though, at
times, a dragons personality will clash with its riders, or vise versa!
This
harmony of riders and dragons went unbroken for a long time, but about
One Hundred sixty years ago, a Titan dragons egg was laid in Nondir, and
hatched into a Death elemental dragon, the first titan of Death,
Illirian. Forced to bond to an evil elven Emperor, Vicarous, and stolen
away to grow only to return and raise hell in the country of the titans
birth after having left prior with nearly the entire clutch of his own
birth, either by threat or through bribery, the pair and its followers
had gathered as many others as would follow them, and they challenged
the emperors rule over the city. In the time the titan had been gone, he
grew to maturity in an astonishingly slow time- big enough to
challenge- and kill - the resident Emperor and his Titan Dragon...And
everyone else of royal or high blood. Any candidate that did not bond
was slain that day- To prevent anyone from ever saving Illirian from the
control of the False Emperor. To read more, see
The Fall of Nondir
-----Current & Upcoming Events------
Peace
is such a fragile, delicate thing. It is easily broken, and yet it has
reigned these last two years thanks only to the ritual cease-fire that
came with the laying and hatching of dragon's eggs. Even in Nondir, a
land of death and strife, new life and new bonds are valued, if only to
strengthen the usurper Emperor Vicarous' army. These new young dragons
and their riders are of more use to him alive than dead--barely.
But
time passes quickly when you're busy learning, training, and
strengthening the bond with your dragons to be a lethal and effective
force on the battlefield- hardly enough time to choose where you might
go once you have graduated. Do you stay in Nondir, reveling in its
darkness? Or do you take refuge in the magic-infused land of Lomira? Or
perhaps the neutral Iaramira, woodland realm of the elves, is more to
your liking. Unless, of course, you prefer to shun war entirely and find
a home in the technologically advanced city of Aesulla.
Or...
or, perhaps, you seek to help build a new dynasty. For there was a new
Titan born, and a new Empress made. She, who is the sworn enemy of all
Vicarous stands for, the survivor of the mad slaughter, the one whom
Illirian was stolen from, is in need of the strong, the bold, the brave
to help build her new city, her new empire. Vicarous knows this, and he
does all in his power to try and stop it.Two years is not a long time at
all, far too swift a moment to bask in even a tenuous era of peace. Now
the young dragons are grown, and they must choose a side--and hope they
live to tell about it.
---Upcoming---
The Courting Flights
are on the way and that means a new hatching season is fast approaching!
Candidates from all over are heading to Aesulla to prepare for the
hatching- In this Neutral City, during the Wyrmling Season, there is no
ceasefire of the war, which means it could be more dangerous than many
years prior. All out war is looming, and with the Life, Death, and
Crystal Titans at war, candidates are needed now more than ever to
bolster the armies.
Where will your allegiances lie?
