Gather round One and All and prepare yourself for A tale like no other.

Eons ago, in a time long forgotten; before creatures would tread upon the surface of the earth; before there was a earth to even be tread-ed upon there existed an untamed never-ending vortex of light and darkness, the to fundamental elements upon which this planet and all things are formed. Now for countless eons this spiral of primordial power, this Vortex, continued its aimless course traversing the length of the universe, the Light and Darkness forever entwining but never joining. Until that is for reasons unknown there was a spark. A spark that theoretically speaking should not have occurred, but non-the-less did, and what resulted from said spark was like anything that ever had or ever would again occur. For the first time since the beginning of Time itself, the powers of Light and Darkness combined. The joining of these two great powers gave birth to a new being. A being with mastery of all elements, an unlimited appetite for knowledge, and limitless power... Chaos.

It was Chaos who tamed the Vortex and from it created the world of Xion. However the creation of Xion did not go according to Chaos design, He intended to join the powers of light and darkness from the Vortex to create a world of people like him. Unfortunately that was impossible. Though he did he create a planet from the combined powers of light and darkness, it did not last. It seemed that the power was too great and the planet was torn asunder by its own power. Perplexed as to why he planet was destroyed Chaos decided to try again. So again he created a planet from the power of the Vortex... and again the planet was destroyed. Angry at himself for allowing another one of his creations to be destroyed he tried again, and again, and again. After ten failed attempts at trying to create his ideal planet Chaos came to the realization that the Powers of light and darkness could never exist as one, that it was their fate to always entwine but never too join, and that he himself was an abomination that should not be.

With this realization chaos decided to try one last time to create a planet. This time however he did not combine the Light and Darkness, but keep them separate, forming one side of the planet from light and the other from darkness. When his work was finished Chaos looked upon the world he had created and wept. His tears of sorrow covering the surface of the new born planet, creating the oceans. After crying for three days he looked upon his creation again and ceased crying. Marveling at the beautiful world which he had created he allowed himself to shed ten final tears. These however were tears of joy; each imbued with a different elemental power, and where they landed on the ocean a continent rose from its depths.

It was then that Chaos descended upon his world and saw that it was without life and he set about populating the infant planet. Taking clay from the ocean shore he began his task and molded the animals of our world, the birds, fish, cats, cattle, etc. When his task was done he breathed life into the creatures and sent them on there way to mate and reproduce so that they may grow in numbers. With his most trivial task over Chaos now took to populating each of the continents.

The first was La'nan, land of fire, and home of the Draconian. Now when Chaos first visited La'nan it was not the calm and serene place that we know today I assure you. It was a volatile wasteland that would sustain no life. You see the entire continent is the caldera of super volcano. A super volcano that was once constantly active. It was Chaos that quelled the fury of the volcano and from the molten rock that it spewed forth from the depths of the planet he created the first of the Draconian race. They are humanoid dragons and the lords of fire. Though they posses only a basic understanding of magic they more then make up for it with their immense strength. Only The Shanti and Vampires can hope to match them in terms of physical strength. The majority of the Draconian people reside in Cree, capital of La'nan.

Next came Norea, land of ice, home of the Shanti. Norea is a Winter Tundra covered with vast mountain ranges and blanketed in snow. Chaos needed to ensure that whatever race of people he created here would be able to survive in its cold environment. So he wandered Norea for three days and three nights. And on the third night he came across a pack of white wolves. Of all the creatures of Norea he viewed he was most impressed with the wolves ability to adapt to any situation that presented itself. Chaos took the wolf pack and began changing them, giving them human form. Thus the Shanti were born. Now though the Shanti were given human from they still retained some of their wolf characteristic such as enhanced senses, sharp teeth, and talon like hands, along with snow white hair and solid black eyes. The Shanti are a shamanic race, who spend a great deal of time meditating and communicating with the spirit world and animals.
