Founding of Aikibira
In the time before written history, when the world was still young and uncharted, there lived a wise and courageous Dragonborn named Theladraax the Visionary. Theladraax was renowned among his people for his extraordinary foresight and unwavering determination to forge a better future for the Dragonborn.
One fateful day, Theladraax received a vision that would change the course of history for his people. He saw a hidden island, a land of abundance, and a haven for the Dragonborn where they could thrive and preserve their ancient traditions. What he did not realize was that this island was once the home to the forgotten kingdom of Lathav'ir.
Theladraax knew he had been entrusted with a sacred mission to find and settle this promised land. Gathering a group of like-minded Dragonborn, Theladraax set sail across the vast and treacherous seas. They faced many hardships during their long journey, including raging storms, colossal sea monsters, and dwindling supplies. But Theladraax's unwavering conviction and leadership inspired his followers to press on in the face of adversity.
After many long months of sailing, their perseverance was rewarded. The weary travelers finally caught sight of the island, just as Theladraax had seen in his vision. The island was a pristine paradise, filled with abundant resources and untamed wilderness. It was also home to the enigmatic ruins of Lathav'ir, a testament to an ancient and powerful Dragonborn kingdom that once stood on the island.
Rather than attributing the island's discovery to divine intervention, Theladraax emphasized the power of their own intelligence, resilience, and unity. This perspective laid the foundation for a modern Dragonborn culture and Aikibiran society that is atheistic, valuing reason and knowledge over divine guidance.
Theladraax and his followers immediately set to work, constructing the foundations of what would become the city of Aikibira near the Lathav'ir Ruins. They built sturdy homes, established farms, and harnessed the island's resources to create a thriving settlement. With every passing year, Aikibira grew and prospered under the guidance of Theladraax.
As the city flourished, the people of Aikibira became increasingly fascinated by the Lathav'ir Ruins. Theladraax encouraged the study and exploration of these ancient structures, believing that they held valuable secrets and lessons from their Dragonborn ancestors. The wisdom and knowledge gleaned from the ruins would go on to shape the culture, traditions, and technology of Aikibira for generations to come.
The tale of Theladraax the Visionary and the founding of Aikibira has been passed down through generations of Dragonborn, as an enduring testament to the power of vision, determination, and unity. It serves as a reminder that the Dragonborn can overcome any challenge when they stand together and believe in a brighter future, while honoring and learning from their past, and relying on their own strength and intellect.

Variations & Mutation
The original myth of Theladraax the Visionary and the Founding of Aikibira was passed down orally through generations of Dragonborn storytellers. As it was shared and retold, different elements were emphasized or changed to reflect the values and beliefs of the current society.
At one point, a Dragonborn historian named Kaelara researched the story and found some discrepancies in the details. She believed that the original story had been modified over time to downplay the role of divine intervention and to elevate the importance of Human intellect and reason.
Kaelara revised the story to reflect her findings and shared it with a group of Dragonborn scholars. Some were resistant to the changes, while others embraced them as a reflection of the changing beliefs and values of Dragonborn society.
The revised version of the story continued to evolve over time as new elements were added or changed to reflect the current cultural context. It is now considered a central myth of Aikibiran society and is often retold with variations by Dragonborn storytellers.
Additionally, there is a famous children's song that all Dragonborn learn:
(Verse 1)
In a time when the world was young,
Lived a Dragonborn, brave and strong.
Theladraax, the Visionary was his name,
With a heart full of courage and a visionary flame.
(Chorus)
Oh, Aikibira, land of dreams,
Born from courage and visionary themes.
Oh, Aikibira, land so grand,
Built by Dragonborn hand in hand.
(Verse 2)
He saw an island in a vision so clear,
A land for Dragonborn far and near.
With a group of brave hearts, they set sail,
Through stormy seas and winds that wail.
(Chorus)
Oh, Aikibira, land of might,
Born from a journey through the darkest night.
Oh, Aikibira, land so free,
A haven for Dragonborn, as it was meant to be.
(Verse 3)
They found the island, just as foreseen,
A paradise of resources, lush and green.
Near the ruins of Lathav'ir, they made their stand,
And built Aikibira, their homeland.
(Chorus)
Oh, Aikibira, land of lore,
Where Dragonborn thrive, forevermore.
Oh, Aikibira, land so bright,
A beacon in the darkness, a shining light.
(Verse 4)
Theladraax taught them to honor the past,
To learn from the ruins, vast and vast.
In unity and strength, they found their way,
And Aikibira stands strong to this day.
(Chorus)
Oh, Aikibira, land of pride,
Where Dragonborn live, side by side.
Oh, Aikibira, land so dear,
The heart of the Dragonborn, far and near.
(Outro)
So remember, children, the tale of yore,
Of Theladraax and the land we adore.
In unity, strength, and vision so clear,
We are Dragonborn, and Aikibira is here.
