Guardians of YonZora.
The history of the Guardians of YonZora begins with Asgorath, the cosmic dragon, who forged the First World, the original home of dragonkind. From this primeval creation, Asgorath shaped the multiverse, scattering its echoes across different planes of existence.
Among Asgorath's divine progeny were Drako and Thanika, powerful celestial dragons whose influence spread across countless worlds. Their son, Tatsuo, was a gem dragon of immense wisdom and foresight. Due to the vastness of the multiverse, Drako became known by different names depending on the realm: Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon; Paladine, the Dragon of Justice. Similarly, Thanika was revered as Tiamat, the Five-Headed Queen of Dragons, or Takhisis, the Dark Majesty.
Following the destruction of the First World in a storm of jealousy and wrath, Asgorath turned his divine focus to YonZora, a world that became his new passion. On this world, he sought to prevent the tragic fate of his first creation. Here, the dragons of the Stewards of YonZora emerged—an ancient and noble dragon clan dedicated to balance and protection.
Unlike the ordinary dragons of their kin, twelve dragons were born differently, each carrying a unique spark of destiny. These twelve dragons, driven by an innate passion for guardianship, excelled in their respective domains, displaying unparalleled wisdom and strength. They became the leaders of the Stewards of YonZora, guiding their kind with honor and purpose.
Recognizing their virtues, Drako and Asgorath themselves chose these twelve dragons to become the Guardians of YonZora. Their sacred duty was to ensure that YonZora would never suffer the same fate as the First World, standing as its eternal protectors against the forces of chaos and destruction. Each Guardian's role was a reflection of their passion and dedication, bound by the oath to preserve YonZora for all eternity.
