The Primary Record

At the base of Yggdrasil, where its roots can be found, the Father of All Dragons can be found, gnawing at the roots of the infinite tree to keep them from growing forever. This is Níðhöggr, Primus Draco, the origin of all the Draconic races, the Divine Dragons, the Olde Dragons, the Wyverns, and the Hýdras. It was here that an expedition of explorers came to discover his majesty and founded the city Draco Radix at the feet of Yggdrasil. This was the birth of the Cult that came to worship all the Dragon Races.   The Dragon Cultist eventually birthed the Pendragon Dynasty and the Camelot Kingdom, although the Cultist remained at the center of it all. They revere the Dragons as the kin of Primus Draco but do not directly worship Dragons. They primarily exist in a servent-master relationship with the great beasts and serve to protect them.

In Miðgarðr, Talos, the First Name of God, created a planet at the center of the universe and named it High Garden, on this planet he created a race of beings in his own image and thus the First Men were born. They were Adam and Lilith, man and woman. But there was discord in the Garden, Adam bowed whenever his God was near but Lilith would not, she refused to submit to his authority. Lilith spoke the 7 Words of Existence and departed from High Garden forever. Talos would make another wife for Adam, Eve, who faithfully obeyed her divine Lord's commands. And thus Talos said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the universe and subdue it. Rule over the stars in the cosmic sea, and over the myriad lifeforms that traverse the galaxies", and thus they did.

Highgarden is the planet that lies at the center of Miðgarðr and Cradle refers to the sector of the universe that immediately surrounds this planet, otherwise known as the Core Worlds. They are the closest to the Miðgarðr Yggtree and because they sit directly under it's branches, they are wealthy and fat in natural resources and live good lives from the golden seeds that fall to their worlds. Almost all the progenitor species in the cosmos come from a Cradle World.   The Cradle was once ruled by Ursama-Adam and the First Men and his numerous sons by Yrsama-Eve, but the Cradle Rebellion shattered this age of plenty. The Cradle was preparing for the great conquering Crusades where they would go into the wider cosmos and subdue it under the name of their growing Imperium. Many of the sons and their empires turned on their father to claim Cradle at the last moment. Many others were consumed by this betrayal or turned to in-fighting themselves. In the chaos, Ursama-Adam was slain but 70 Empires, and 70 loyal sons, arose from the ashes and put the rebellion down.   The Cradle Rebellion saw the death of the Father of the First Men and nearly ended the Imperium before it truly began. Many of the noble Houses today claim lineage back to these 70 loyal sons and none with lineage to the traitor's sons are allowed to be named as noble houses out of respect to Ursama-Eve who lost her husband.

The III Æsir-Vanir War was a military conflict waged in the Holy Realms between Ásgarðr, led by the Allfather-Bör, and Vanaheimr, led by Maedra-Njǫrðr. This war was the 3rd military conflict between the two tribes of divines and was the bloodiest. The nature of the war, as always, was one of culture and society, and the nature of gods, as always, is linked to patterns and cycles. Allfather-Bör and Maedra-Njǫrðr showed no sign of relenting on this war as they had before. He had fought and killed Bör's father, Búri, in their first war and intended to do the same here with his entire line. Likewise, the Allfather would not yield to the man who killed his father.

In the fields of Esodel, the stage was set for the Final Battle that would determine the destiny of all existence. The Legions of Angels, guided by the unwavering spirit of Michael, descended upon the monstrous Horde of Demons with divine fury. The clash of swords and celestial weapons filled the air, and a tumult of violence and destruction ensued. Blood was spilled like rivers as the two celestial factions locked in an unyielding dance of warfare.

The Loka-Yuddha waged between Empyreans across the Multiverse came to a tie between the final 7 remaining Empyreans, dubbed the 7 Calamities. They were the most powerful beings of the cosmos but could not overcome each other and thus the Great Debate began, a sub-period of time where a relative peace occurred wherein the Calamities found warring with each other fruitless. Yggdrasil, however, did not like the stagnation that was taking root once again and would routinely release more God Waves to create more Empyreans every hundred years. The Calamities called this the Culling Games, where they would allow the fledgling Empyreans a Grace Period to grow strong before an all-out war began. This Cullinngs Games are more of a sport than a real war for the seven but for the hunted Empyreans it is a very real game of life or death.
