History of the Dragon Kings

In the beginning

During the savage early days of Creation, the Dragon Kings were the only intelligent life. But as the world became less violent and deadly, the Primordials crafted humanity, both to experiment in creating intelligent life, and because the Dragon King population was fixed at 150 million and could never exceed that number due to a lack of more Dragon King spirits. The Primordials desired greater numbers of servants to do their bidding, and based on their brutal examinations of the Mountain folk, the Primordials created the human race as a species that could spread over the face of creation. Because mortals were both weaker and more numerous than Dragon Kings, they were made their overlords by the Primordials.

Humans remained in this position for millenia, living and working in the cities of the Dragon Kings and in its own cities, ruled by distant Dragon Kings. As there were 20 humans for each Dragon King, the reptiles were unable to keep track of all their charges. Many humans fled to Creation's edge to live free but brutally savage lives. Escapees who were caught, along with all who offended the laws of the gods and the Dragon Kings, were sacrificed on top of the Dragon King's great solar pyramids. Their hearts were offered to the Unconquered Sun, and their bodies were then devoured by their masters.
