Tranquility

Pending lore writeup




The Untouched and the Fallen. They are creatures outside of the regular ways of the world, separate from the gods and dismissive of the Shade. They once came from beyond our own reality, where laws of life and existence are not so concrete. These two sides have been at war with each other for longer than even stars have existed in this realm and the clashing of their generals has caused waves of power and destruction have been so immense it’s been felt in other realms. One of these such blows ripped a temporary tear in the world of Sornieth and some of these warriors were thrown through.

The tear did not last long and stranded these creatures in the realm of dragons, where some have taken mortal forms as they continue their eternal quest of war. Very few are old enough now to remember their place of birth, most of the original fighters falling to the trials and battles of the mortal world, it is their descendants who continue to raise the blade and keep the war alive.

The Untouched: Are generally cold and reserved creatures. They follow the ways of Before, the traditions and history that’s been passed down from generation to generation. The oldest of the Untouched are dismissive of the young’s ways, claiming they miss the soul of the matter but even they cannot recall how things used to be, as their own memories have been dulled and erased with time and life. These dragons are generally ones who do not wish to participate in the mortal world and will try to keep their questing battles against the Fallen away from regular dragons, if not to prevent interfering with the lives of people from a lower plane than to prevent their own potential corruption from the passion of mortals.

Because the Untouched cling so tightly to the old ways, they retain the most magic from their ancestors. They are the fiercest of fighters, their magic bright and cold like shards of ice but their strict control and ways of life makes them slow to reproduce and slower still to refill their ranks. They often look the most otherworldly; glowing skin, multiple eyes or no faces altogether, though it is not uncommon for one to look completely mortal either. These dragons generally have larger reserves of power that comes with being an Untouched and some have begun to show signs of loss of control at a molecular level, their hides cracking to show the pure energy seeping through from inside their mortal forms.

The Fallen: Are generally creatures of passion and instinct. They revel in chaos and the pleasures of mortal life. If an Untouched does one thing, a Fallen will do the exact opposite just on principle. They go out of their way to try everything at least once and to enjoy whatever they can be it physical, mental or spiritual. The mortal realm and those that live there fascinate them and these dragons love to walk among those of mortal coils, mixing their bloodlines when they can.

Because the Fallen throw themselves headlong into anything, they are resourceful and cunning and wary be anyone who ever corners one of these creatures. Best to count your pockets and your fingers after shaking hand with a Fallen. The Fallen will sometimes show their power with glowing eyes, fangs and claws but more often than not they can blend in with a crowd no problem, looking no different from any other mortal. They are the most widespread and breed the fastest, taking many forms and seem bent on trying to best the Untouched if not in power then in shear numbers. It is rare for a Fallen to be born with the size and power reserves of their ancestors but is also not unheard of for a recessive gene to surface. Fallen can hide their power, though sometimes it glows just beneath their skin, creating beautiful circuit pattern-like tattoos on their flesh.
