A tale of legend

Just more stuff to keep my creative juices anchored.

The great mystics of the dragonborn tell tale of a man from before the great collapse. It is not known if he was of any recorded race, but it was known he was chosen by the gods. His only purpose was to keep a single island cloaked in the shadows of eternity. The island was supposedly a haven for dragon kind, that dragons of any color could rest there and be safe. However, the historians who have collected what they could of the times before the great collapse have noted that the dragons did not stay on the island for long. That they came and went infrequently. The historians wondered why these creatures would not choose to live out there ancient lives in peace and harmony in the safety of this haven. Dragonborn mystics believe the island was a hatching ground. That certain dragons would come to the island to lay there clutches of eggs, or perhaps bring certain eggs to the island. The oracles and mystics know there kind was created after the great collapse, and they believe there first ancestors hatched from dragon eggs that were touched by the blood of tiamat and bahamut during a great fight in the heavens. Some historians believe that the immortal was told of the impending collapse of Rimoria, and that the gods would be unable to help as destruction swallowed up the world, that a great magic, or collapse of magic would leave the gods unable to help any of there children. It is known that there was a time around the great collapse where the gods were silent, and the historians believe that there were some who knew of this, and took precautions. Some historians believe that certain eggs were hatched by dragons before the great collapse and left on the island to be watched over by the Immortal. Oracles and Historians surmise that if this was the case, then the Immortal had to have some way to transfer the knowledge of the dragons and there powers into the eggs, which were to be hatched without parents. Historians note that the Immortal was also credited for creating powerful artifacts specifically for dragons, and that it increased there powers beyond belief, to the very edges of godhood. There is know good reason why the artifacts were created simply to increase the power of already god like beings, since it created much chaos during the days before the collapse, so the historians believe the artifacts were created to absorb the memories, history, and powers of these great dragons. Since the artifacts would be coveted, only the most powerful of dragons could obtain them for long, and it is believed that when the great dragons died, there essence was absorbed into the artifacts. Once the collapse began happening, and the gods became silenced, the great immortal could have used the stored energies of these artifacts to give the combined strengths of all dragonkind into the unhatched eggs. There is little known reason why the dragonborn do not have scales similar to the great dragons of old, and the historians believe it was because it was the will of the gods that if no dragons were to survive, than the these knew dragonborn were to have no distinction between good and evil, law or chaos, and that they could choose there own paths and masters as they hatched into the world, that is why the powers and histories of all dragons, not just the ones of law and justice were harnessed. Regardless, the great immortal who shows up from time to time in the ancient texts of Rimoria disapears at this point. Though he had some hand in the end time for the dragons of old, the extent is not known. Mystics dismiss the idea of magic being involved in there creation to blasphemous, but historians argue that the man was allegedly chosen by the gods, and thus not just an agent of magic. Regardless, if the Immortals hand was involved in there creation, or as an aid to there existance, they are not exactly sure as to what motivated him to help. No known island of dragons has been discovered since, and the dragonborn were born into the wastes, not on some island. To historians and mystics alike, this is still a troublesome mystery. The day will come when they uncover the truth, but the gods are ever silent on the subject, suggesting that either even they did not see the dragonborn unveil themselves, or that there creations is just as mysterious to the gods, as it is the dragonborn themselves.
