Legend of the Sundering of Wyrms
A Retelling of the words spoken by Vippin, the Watcher
“Happenstance that I found myself in the presence of the Watcher as a mute Gardener; and sheer coincidence he did not spy me etching into a small book.” – Nelehein Afsana
Lord Io, the Ninefold Dragon, was one of the ancient primadorials- great beings that existed eons ago. He sought to further his infinite legacy. To do this, it was He, Lord Io, who bore the first of the ten Eternal Ancients. Aspects of Io were sundered and thus the Eternal Ten were born. They were of Him, and all His Glory. Unending and Undying, eternal dragons that were gods in their own right.
The Eternal Ancients, the Ten, eventually grew bored of their reign of existence. Limitless power can only go so far- they wished to exert it. Thus, they petitioned to Him to extend their influence.
A path was given, devised by He. Io would extend their reach, but in turn make them mortal. Indeed, the Eternal Ten would be superior to all life- the greatest of all mortalkind- but they would still remain unequivocally mortal. All Ten accepted the ritual. Each removed a limb from themselves, and from their own flesh and blood, did another ancient grow. And then another and another. To propagate the Glorious Race.
From the Infinite Blood that was spilled, the Kin Arose. The kobolds- dragonkin, the draconian creatures of the world.
The Kin saw the power of the Primordials in their infinite and divinity, slip into the Ether.
The conflict of the Metallics and Chromatics is intrinsic. They are born of conflicting pieces of He, the Lord Ao. It is natural for opposites to conflict, and thus it is natural for the wyrms to fight one another. They are still only extensions of He.
Known dragon gods include Tiamat, Bahamut, Garyx (lord of destruction), and Chronepsis (lord of time and fate). All ancients are the brood of Io, and all the Kin are the grand-broods of Io.
