History of the Tome of Eolaan

Thousands of years before the events of The Last Draegion Saga, the Ancient Ones called the Greater Gods to Dessos. Their magic had grown so powerful that it began to corrupt their original bodies—vessels shaped much like the dragons who inhabit Dessos today. The Ancient Ones had stopped reproducing and slowly found themselves dying out as their magic devoured itself.

In exchange for the gods’ aid in preventing their demise, the Ancient Ones offered up the dominion of their world, allowing Saolanni, Baosanni, and Ordeolas to populate Dessos with new beings. First came their children, the nine lesser gods, and then the nine races of mortals, whom the lesser goddess Mira made in her brothers’ and sisters’ images.

Dragons were created as an homage to the Ancient Ones’ original bodies, and the souls of these draegion were supplanted into Mira’s creations. However, the gods quickly found that these beings took to the corrosive draegion magic too easily and became forces of unstoppable fury. But when Soul Shifted into the bodies of other mortals, the sheer weight of a draegion soul’s collective memories destroyed these vessels.

It was not until Eolaan, the Mother of Stories, bound the memories of an Ancient One into a magical tome that the gods’ promise to the draegion could be fully realized. By preserving the memories in the tome, Eolaan could limit the amount of knowledge borne by a newly Shifted mortal vessel. And so, too, did a bond form between Eolaan and the draegion soul.

By working closely with Ordeolas, Greater God of Order, Eolaan learned to manage and calm her charge, sharing memories as needed from the tome to preserve the draegion’s rich history. Only, as the reborn draegion’s power grew, the corruption that had plagued the Ancient One’s former vessel returned.

Before the vessel could corrupt fully, the gods used the tome to temporarily store the soul while a new vessel could be formed. As closely tied to the draegion as she was, Eolaan’s soul also fused with the tome, allowing her better control of the knowledge within it.

Eolaan’s soul still resides in the tome to this day, always willing to provide information to those in need. Find the answers to your questions by consulting Ravlok, the current keeper of the tome, and the tabs on this Wiki.
