For centuries, over many worlds, dragons and dragon kind have both terrorized and peacefully coexisted with humans and elves. A new age has arrived, with the opportunity to see bonds between dragons and dragon riders form again, a chance to rule and expand the power afforded to those loyal to The Prismatic Sovereignty and the primordial world shapers as the Royal House of Midrvegr

The Formation of The Prismatic Sovereignty

Formally the Children of Io, a great shift has occurred after the First Speaker relinquished his leadership role. The Council was dismantled in favor of the more familiar structure of a monarchy in the capital city of Midrvegr after leadership was granted to the Third Speaker, Nyre. While some within the Children of Io protested such a change, others felt it necessary to immerse themselves in the rich culture of the northern people under their rule. Once seeming very dragon exclusive, The Prismatic Sovereignty seek to gather others of like mind - be it draconic, human, or any of those seeking a united, stable Midrvegr and the power associated with such.

Here on Cuivienen we have a proper chance of regaining and keeping power together. This is not without struggle, as both light and dark exist within those loyal to The Prismatic Sovereignty and internal strife is not unfamiliar.

“Dragons and legends...It would have been difficult for any man not to want to fight beside a dragon.” ― Patricia Briggs, Dragon Blood


What God or Goddess are you hoping to place on the Arcanum Crystal?
The Prismatic Sovereignty calls to those in service to either (or both) Ancalagon and Jormungandr, though Ancalagon the Black holds more sway in Andalstad. The winged dragon of iron and ice battles for supremacy with the serpent dragon of amber and gold both in this world they have shaped and in the hearts of draconic kin.
Some dragons and draconic kin still serve Io, occasionally known as Asgorath or Asgoroth, who is a neutral primordial over-deity and considered by many as the dragon-father. An entity of seemingly conflicting motivations and alignments, known for doing either very little or a whole lot depending on the incarnation. Ancalagon and Jormungandr are often viewed as primordial children of Io.

Story

A young white dragon soars above the landscape on a moon-lit evening, riding the chilled winds above it's northern territory. Crystals of frozen water vapor dance through the air like fire flies as it dives; sweeping but twenty feet above the rocky shoreline, waves off the lake crashing and rocking bleached driftwood. With each downward stroke of it's wings the water breaks flat, disrupting the natural ebb and crash of the shore. Purple eyes are briefly covered by a translucent membrane as the creature blinks to clear it's vision.

Letting out a massive roar as it approaches the village of fishermen, some still in the process of processing their late catch. Not as a statement of threat, but as one of posturing, declaring her power, her right, her grandeur. Always watching; always above their simple lives of toil. It's belly is full of venison. It has no need of their fish or their lives but their attention and sharp fearful squeals as they shuffle into their hovels, itches another need deep within.

As the shadow of it fully passes over the village it twists a grin inward, feeling at peace. Banking for north, silent now, enjoying the crystal clear evening, it follows the shore, making for it's den and clutch of eggs. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Aelfeyn woman, pale of skin, startles awake in her fur covered bed, covered in calmly cold sweat. Her purple eyes are wide as she looks about the small room, dying embers send wisps of wood smoke traveling up a chimney but these fail to warm her or the room. The condensation from each breath, escaping her lips brings her to tears as her memories take her back to the dream and of a home far, far away.

She quickly climbs out of bed, naked, kneeing with forehead prostrated against the chilled stone floor. Silent prayers begin to Ancalagon in earnest; begging him to see her brood once more. Her own power and majesty forgotten for the moment, like the passing dream...
