Dragon Kings
The Dragon Kings are a family of eight Divine Dragons whose existences serve as the foundation of all life in Sulheim.
Prior to the Cataclysm, the Kings lived physically upon Sulheim, but in the present day they can only be directly contacted through their dedicated temples.
History
The First Divine Dragons were seventy beings brought into being at the genesis of Sulheim as the foundation of the newly born world. They were created not as deities themselves, but divinely created beings with great power.
Despite not being gods themselves they were still worshipped by the mortals of the realm. Their faith accrued over milennia and built upon their already grand power until they were indistinguishable from gods by the mortal eye.
The presence of seventy beings of divine power began to weaken the foundation of Sulheim, eroding its elements and threatening the realm. The instability in the air drove the Divine Dragons to war amongst themselves, which would come to be known as the Great Divine War.
By the end of the Great Divine War, eight Divine Dragons remained willing to take the throne and govern the fractured elements. These dragons were Paimonia, Furtur, Leraikha, Vephar, Satan, and Naberius.
Soon after the War ended, Lucifer and Noctifer were brought into being and assumed leadership of the Dragon Kings.
In the year 1 Ante Diluvium, Lucifer initiated the Cataclysm with the intent to purge mankind from the realm. When the Flood of Light swept over Sulheim, the Dragon Kings were all killed in the ensuing shockwave.
Despite the deaths of their mortal bodies, the Dragon Kings remained in spirit and continue to be worshipped by the people of Sulheim.
