As you step through into the heart of the city of Alam, you see street vendors with all sorts of colorful wares—Carpets, vases and jewelry—creating a bustling marketplace. This city was all you expected and more, the vibrant cultures from all around mixing together to create an enchanting symphony of diversity. The most enchanting feature was the colossal tree in the center of the city, it's branches weaving together a canopy of leaves high above you. As you continue around the shops, meandering with no particular direction, you spot an elderly dragon off to the side. You observe her and notice the young platelings around her are entirely captivated by her stories.
She spots you looking and calls out to you, "Come, come! sit down young one, let me tell you the tale of our Divine Dragon Lanati and the beginning of this earth."
Before Khaelasol, there was The Weaver. He who weaved time, space, and all the intricate details within it, together to create the cosmos. Quickly growing bored of wandering the universe alone, a brilliant idea arose within him and he designed the nine harmonious elements we see in the world today, represented by the nine divine dragons.
His one task to them was that they were to create a planet themselves. Using their powers in harmony and a desire to impress their creator, they brought in the earth we dragons walk on today, the rolling hills, the towering mountains and the thundering waterfalls. The sun rose and the moon set, the rivers carved their way through the landscape and the wind danced through the sky, rustling their fur.
The Weaver’s most favored creation was gifted to us by the goddess Lanati, the divine dragon of Nature. It was Life. With her gentle influence, grass unfurled, the flowers blossomed and she brought forth the mighty forests sprawled around Khaelasol. Lanati dedicated her time to craft a diverse array of plants and trees. Some could withstand the scorching heat, and others the blistering cold. She created flowers that bloom in the night and the vibrant flora that flourishes in the oceans.
As the time passed, the eight other dragons noticed that The Weaver was most intrigued by Lanati’s creations. They became resentful and resolved to create life themselves. So fauna was born, all kinds of different animals and creatures of the night filled the planet. For a while, The Weaver was interested but he was a fickle god, and such things would not hold his interest for long. So he left Khaelasol and the divine dragons to fend for themselves. At first they were confused, then angry and bitter. Together, all of them determined that since their god left, they would ascend to become gods themselves. They created dragon-kind, all sorts of land and sea dragons were brought to life. However, it was not enough to quench their bitterness.
United by their collective feelings of hatred, bitterness and sense of betrayal at their old god. They pooled their powers and with all the strength they had they brought a new element into the world, Chaos. Unbridled chaos with powers taken from each of the divine dragons. Lanati was the first of them to realize their mistake. This new being was too divinely powerful and uncontrollable, so Lanati called for the immediate execution of this chaos.
Only two of the divine dragons objected to the execution, however, the Chaos dragon was already furious at her creators. She was born into this world and immediately was faced with hostility and hatred. Aggrieved she fought them off, cursing those who called for her death before fleeing.
Cursed with malfunctioning powers, the dragons hid themselves from their subjects. Soon after Lanati realized that her flowers, trees and grass did not last anymore. Her creations withered and died, death was introduced into the world. The volcanoes erupted, the lighting ignited fires, and the night creatures became violent. The most heartbreaking for the Nine was that their subjects also withered and died, just like the flowers.
Lanati tried everything year after year to keep her creations and subjects alive but it wore her down. Regretful of the pain and suffering she had helped bring onto the world, she used her last burst of power to bring up an undying tree and laid down to rest beneath it. Her subjects gathered and built their city around it, to this day they still pay their respects to the long asleep divine dragon.
