Mythical Age

The Mythical Age, or Age of Myth, is an era of great antiquity, in which several major events of legend are held to have taken place. The exact length, time, and sequence has been hotly debated, as most information survives only in the form of stories and tales handed down through the ages.

Events

The order of these events is not widely agreed upon, just that the happened, what was involved, and in some cases the outcome.

The Grey War

An incredibly massive conflict between the Armies of Darkness, led by the Dark Lords, and the forces of light, led by the Monster Gods and the One King. This was either a lengthy conflict or a single enormous battle, depending on which account you follow. In either version, the outcome was not decisive, and the final battle was to be fought by an ascended warrior dressed in armor of light. (Hunter Jusenkyou, in The Path to Ascension(story)). According to the legend, the two armies fought, and in the end it was decided that the Army of Darkness would be given three attempts to destroy the world of light, while the Army of Light would have only one chance to defeat them.

This war was fought by all races; humans, dragons, unicorns, Iname, and countless others. A key point that has challenged historians is the use of dragons, and which side they fought on.

The Dragon Cycles

There are three major events spoken of in Dragon Theology that happened during the Mythical Age:

• The Dracoschism
• The Dragon Wars
• The Breaking of the Flights

Dracoschism

The Dracoschism is the event that formally divided dragon kind into distinct flights. Prior to the schism, since all dragons were children of The Broodmther, all flights were to be considered as sister flights. The Schism changed this, and turned flights against each other.

Dragon Wars

The Dragon Wars were the conflict that followed the Schism, as the various flights fought for control and claimed various lands. They also claimed worhsipers during this time. It is unclear where the dragon wars came relative to The Grey War. Common legend among humans holds that dragons fought on either side, emaning the grey war came after the cycle.

The Breaking of the Flights

This is where dragonology becomes very complicated. Orthodox dragons hold that the three events should be scene as one, while common dragon belief seperates them into several distinct events. Further complicating matters are the dragons who feel the breaking came first, the war second, and the schism brought about the resolution.

The Breaking of the World

This is one of the most difficult events to describe, because no two myths agree. The most common interpretation is that there was, at one point, a single, great, Flat Dimension. It was not until The Breaking that space, finite dimensions, and solar systems as we know them came into being.

Another interpretation holds that there was a single Flat dimension beneath a finite dimension, that both existed together and that direct travel between them was possible. AGain, the breaking changed all of this, creating mant flat worlds
