The Creation of Reality, according to Draken

In the beginning, there was nothing, complete darkness, an empty space with no light and no existence. From within this darkness, an egg formed. In many thousands of years, creatures within it grew larger and larger and larger until the egg could no longer hold it. Finally, the egg burst and every color of existence sprang forth from within it, and from the egg flew forth the 16 eternity dragons, one of each type of dragon, five dragons made of living metal, six made of living gems, and five made of chromatic colors.   The eternity dragon's names were as follow.   The Metallics   Azram, the Golden Lord, the dragon of order, they were the most powerful of Metallics and wisest, yet was controlling and brutal   Tiovnil, the Silver Lord, the dragon of the intellect, they were the most intelligent of Metallics, yet was cold and uncaring   Curmuru, the Brass Lord, the dragon of the heart, they were the kindest of all Metallics, yet was stupid and naive   Raillar, the Bronze Lord, the dragon of justice, they were the most head strong of all Metallics, yet was stubborn and grudge bearing   Epayth, the Copper Lord, the dragon of humor, they were the warmest of all Metallics, yet was insensitive and unsocial   The Gems   Tunnu, the Amethyst Liege, the dragon of peace, they were the most powerful of Gems and the calmest, yet was indifferent and lonely   Tulru, the Obsidian Liege, the dragon of mind, they were the most intelligent of gems, yet was vicious and sadistic   Seildroi, the Sapphire Liege, the dragon of safety, they were the most protective of Gems, yet was suspicious and territorial   Iegha, the Topaz Liege, the dragon of pride, they were the most proud of Gems, yet was selfish and unfriendly   Nulrus, the Emerald Liege, the dragon of memory, they were the most knowledge of Gems, yet was paranoid and uncaring for what it studied   Tyzzun, the Crystal Liege, the dragon of curiosity, they were the most talkative of Gems, yet was gullible and childish   The Chromatics   Vyrtmorth, the Red King, the dragon of ambition, they were the most powerful of all Chromatics and ambitious, yet was violent and quick tempered   Imriess, the Black King, the dragon of passion, they were the most hard working of all Chromatics, yet was emotional and dishonest   Aeruss, the Green King, the dragon of wit, they were the most cunning of all Chromatics, yet was deceptive and unkind   Uzoag, the White King, the dragon of instinct, they were the best hunter of all Chromatics, yet was dense and beast like   Vurvinth, the Blue King, the dragon of tongue, they were the greatest speaker of all Chromatics, yet was manipulative and cruel.   These were the first dragons, the greatest of their kind, gods in their own right. They were all powerful and all knowledgeable, and were the oldest of their kind, far beyond the size of great wyrms. From their breath was born the stars and drakenelm, which they ended up calling home. They began to create the races, beginning with the draken race, creating them in their own image. Life began to spring forth, plants, animals, and sentient creatures. But not all was success, for some creatures failed to live up to the great ancestry of dragons, such as the wyvern, who became an insult in the eyes of all dragon descended. It was a paradise of magic and life.   This would all change one day at the end of the eternity of peace. One of the two groups, either the metallic or the chromatic, of dragons, began to grow cruel, controlling the living creatures to their own ends and began becoming selfish and wanting their own territory. As tension grew and grew, its finally exploded in dragon flame. Thus, the War of the Stars began.   The war was long and brutal, thousands of mortals and dragons died, and so did the mighty eternity dragons. The world was forever scarred from the war, mountains were torn apart, islands were destroyed and entire forests were burnt away. After centuries, the war finally ended, as the last eternity dragon died, and with it all dragons died. The world survived and healed, but all that are left now of the dragon's legacy are the draken.

What is key to understand is that there are differences between how the story goes in the second half between the different draken ethnicities. Metallic draken argue that it was the chromatic draken that caused the War of the Stars, that ended up causing the death of all dragons, while chromatic argue that is was the other way around. Metallic argue that it was Vyrtmorth that began their ambition to control everything, while Chromaticc argue that it was Azram that began their will to dominate everything.   On top of this, no one knows what happened to the gem dragons or why they even exist within the story, since no one knows who they are or what they did, some have theories but there is no oral history that backs up any ideas.
