Dragons

WHAT IS KNOWN
It is said that the very first of the Dragons in Celestus crawled out of great scars in the body of the planet. There, they slumbered for eons - awaiting the destruction of the Old Gods and the birth of a new world. When they came, they offered all living creatures they found knowledge, first in exchange for labor. People toiled for the gifts the Dragons had to offer, erecting great shrines. In some rare cases, the earliest kingdoms could trace their history back to the worship of a specific dragon. Even the great city of Mithros was believed to be one such place.

After the first age of the Dragons came to an end and the people of Celestus began to squabble with each other, then the Dragons offered their next gift: Pacts. A Dragon could make a Pact with a specific person in exchange for something personal. Often times, it could be a life of servitude to the whims of the Dragon. There are historical recordings of Dragons taking body parts or organs. It's believed the strongest of the early Wizards gained their power by making multiple pacts with different Dragons.
