Dragon's Domain
A multiverse shrouded in Shadow
In the beginning there was a timeless, space-less nothingnessThe Dragon's Domain is the greater multiverse which contains the planes described in our campaign, Shadows Over Arda (Return to Drake the Magic Dragon). It is immensely vast, and populated by numerous loosely interconnected planes. It is frequently described as the "void beyond the spheres of the world", the "glue" that holds the planes together in suspension, or most simply known as "space". In this campaign, the Dragon's Domain is both the combination of the Transitive Plane and each plane that it envelops.
And into that nothingness came a thought, purposeful, all-pervading
So ended the Void

About
No one knows how the Dragon's Domain came to be. It has existed since the dawn of time, when the first powerful extraplanar beings came into existence. These powerful extraplanar beings had no knowledge of their creator, but would take the inky and black void and craft it into worlds and wonders of their own. Thus did these beings create stars and planes to populate the void, and soon did the void gain meaning. Notable such beings include the Four Primordial Lords, the Heavens, and the Shadow. It is known that other such beings have previously existed, and it is likely that others still do, but likely are far away from the struggles of the Heavens, Primordials, and the Shadow.
With the creation of the plane of Arda and its beings, and their subsequent worship, the Heavens and the Primordials ascended to greater heights of power, attaining godhood. These forces maintain and cultivate life, and in return the prayers and souls of their worshipers nourish them. The Shadow cares little for life beyond the power he perceives it grants him, and craves the power granted by ascending to godhood. The Shadow sees the multiverse as the birthright of its creation, and intends to devour it in its entirety until there is nothing left but itself. To that end, the Shadow has brought ruin to many burgeoning planes and realms, and empowers the wicked to achieve its goals. Thus, with the destruction and enslavement of many realms, has much of the multiverse fallen under its sway. Thus, to most, the multiverse is known as the Dragon's Domain, known after the Shadow's favored form, the Gilded Dragon. Others refer to the multiverse's destruction and stagnation, calling it the Dragon's Mire.
