Gods & Dragons
DRAGONS
​
Dragons were the first sentient beings to exist on Melarandra. Many tales tell of their creation. Of how they came into being as a mirror to the Earth Mother's heart and soul: wild and untamed. Other animals began to walk the world, taking hold in different areas. Never allowing for much else to move in. Humans were the most dominant. Dragons never had names before the humans came into being. Knowing each other on sight and smell, the humans preferred to name the winged beasts soaring through the skies based on their look and habits. Only one still exists from the ancient times. LEEDA - Large Earthshaking Edacious Dazzling Animal.
Today's dragons have names. Some named by the ones who created them, but sometimes the naming is left up to others. Elves have been known to participate in this act.
GODS - under construction
​
There are many gods ruling Melarandra.
The Central Lands, being secluded for centuries, have forgotten all gods but three. The sisters, stars lumped together at all times in the sky, rule their lives.
Almena - Goddess of Stars - luck, chance and fortune
Ademorna - Goddess of Sun - learning, teachings and her monks have a dislike for taverns
