The First Intervention

For hundreds of years, humans on Ronar grow, prosper and colonize. They do not know of the gods, or of magic, or of anything beyond the expanding land they are building. Languages come into being, kingdoms, and more. Life is simple, and it's purpose is to grow and expand. One king saw history and that much of it was being forgotten. Since he never wished to be forgotten, he created a way to measure time, the days, years and seasons. The first and only major calendar of Ronar. Thus, the first year of recording came to pass. As did the second, and the third. Still, humankind was expanding.

But the gods looked down at the world, and saw that the humans were not stopping where they had expected them to. The gods had put the humans down on one major continent of three, and slowly they were expanding beyond it's borders. Building simple boats to build on the islands, cutting down the forests to build still grander cities. And most worrisome to the gods, they did not spare so much as a thought to whether or not the gods existed at all.

And so, on the fourth day of the month of NewYear, year 103 of counting, the gods descended into the world to much awe and wonderment of the humans. They chided the humans for being so simpleminded in their expansion, and reminded them that they would be watching. They also declared that since the humans could not be trusted to care frr the world, they would create new races to live alongside them. There were the Torin, placed deep within the forests to live wih and protect them. There were the Unofoine and the Cyclops placed within the earth to live with and protect it. There were the Shadowkin placed to watch and protect the skies.

The humans, however never quite believed what the gods were, or understood what was happening, and so the gods decided to also leave marks of their power in the world - six mighty dragons, each stronger than ten-thousand strong men. These dragons were creatures of magic and fury, and were to always inspire complacency amongst the races.

The dragon of fire was born to the center of the world, sleeping in the heat within that occasionally rocketed forth onto the surface. It was the most similar to the lesser dragons already created, simply larger and more grand.

The dragon of water was born into the oceans, endlessly swimming with the tides. It was long and thin, with no wings and great fins aong it's side, each larger than a sailing ship.

The dragon of earth was born upon the land, and given the most power such that humans could see it and would be awed. It's back was formed of a small mountain, and each of it's claws and fangs were diamonds.

The dragon of air was born high in the sky, just within a mortal's sight. It was so light that i did not need wings to fly, swimmimg through the air with it's sinuous body miles long.

The dragon of light was born in the warmth of sunlight, and would endlessly chase the ball of fire above it. It's body was as clear as crystal, almost invisible against the sky.

The dragon of darkness was born at midnight, and would chase the day it never understood, at the same time fleeing from it in fear. It's body was not formed of physical stuff, but of shadows. Mortals only knew of it's existance by the footprints they wuld find left behind.
