The History of the Draconic Bloodline

The Following is an account from the warrior scholar Neeta 
  The world of the dragons, Skolnyaran was very different to that of your beautiful blue world. Its sky stretches for countless miles, where only rare islands of jagged floating rock would grant our bodies rest from the eternal atmospheric pressure, and our binary stars would grant us little warmth through the thick gas that filled our sky. our lives were hard fought and our hierarchy was firm. To kill is to become that which you have killed. But even with our immeasurable power, we were nothing to the invasive force that desired our crucible be put to the sword. It began by corrupting our champions.
  Gyo the mountain
  Lawú the moon serpent
  Warwel the Cobblers bane
  Orochi Storm tyrant
  And Apocalypse incarnate, Skoll the ever hunger
  One by one these champions, conquers, tyrants all, fell to this dark encroacher.
  All but one of the greater deities were taken. Tiamat the Queen of Avarice, her greed and her ego were all that prevented her from corruption. So to save what was left of her species she forcibly fused every remaining dragon into her soul, the one, only act of charity and mercy from the mistress of greed.
  And with this new found power, she took a new title. Tiamat, the mind of all. Yet still the Interloper and its corrupted dragons were still capable of matching the culmination of thousands of dragons combined. And in an act of desperation she committed a cardinal sin and birthed a child. A putrid being, born into the blood of its own kind from the genetic material of all of dragonkind. This 5 winged abomination floundered in the blood of its own kind, drinking and drinking until its size dwarfed Tiamat.
  And as Tiamat fought to her last to defend the newborn, the abomination spoke ‘I am the Anti Essence of dragonkind, mushussu. Its vermillion membranous wings unfurled covering the suns and turning the sky red. It is said that the air suddenly turned foul and all but the strongest of dragons fell, their bodies eaten from both inside and out by an unseen rot.
  And with that the invader and what remained of the dragons he corrupted retreated, leaving our world broken and poisoned by the abomination, a victory, but at what cost.
  Nothing is known of what happened to Tiamat after this. It is presumed she either perished, or skulked off into the cosmos, perhaps seeking to serve another master in a different realm to build up strength.
  But i hear you asking. If all the dragons fell, how did they come to find Raumoko?
  Well, not all of the dragons were killed on Skolnyaran, nor were all of them fused into Tiamat. One dragon is known to have escaped, was Aurum, king consort to Zorquan the god of dragonness (the essence or soul of the dragon). It was through her blessings that our kind were able to reproduce. And it is thought that she handed this power off to her king for safe keeping, to which he fled Skolnyaran in search of a bright light he saw shining through the sky, the light of hope.
