History of the Vaikan

The history of the Dhragolon is one not free of bloodshed and wars. Yet, as violent as it got, the victors emerged with a rich culture.

The Dhragolon divide their calendars into eras by major, society changing events. Eras don't necessarily begin on Enya 1, the first day on the Dhragolon calendar. They start as soon as the cultural event takes place. The previous months of the year retain its date, but the months that follow are changed to year 0 until the start of the next year. There have been a total of four eras in Dhragolon history.

First Era - The Tribal Era
According to the Book of Kray, the era begins during the time when the world was inhabited only by beasts. Kray, the Titan of Wisdom, perched himself atop Ucharpli's tallest mountain in the form of a dragon. He let out a roar of wisdom heard by all the creatures of the world, subsequently bringing the Dhragolon into existence. The First Era has no definite beginning and is regarded as the time before the Great Flood. During this time, the Dhragolon had begun forming their own villages though no writing system was prominent - a major reason why so little is known of this era. This is the only era to be labelled differently by year. It is analagous to BC on the Gregorian Calendar. Example: 400 B2E (Read as 400 years before the Second Era.)

Second Era - Rise of Religion
After the Great Flood, the Dhragolon begun regarding the disaster as an act from a divine being (or beings) leading to the rise of many religions all over Ucharpli. Jamzeze, a philosopher and thinker, brought about the concept of Kray and Uszaroth after divine inspiration during a journey in the desert.

Meanwhile, Uszaroth himself descended in the form of a red-scaled Dhragolon and spread his own beliefs where individuals should do whatever they please and cause mischief. This lead to war where between the Jamzezists and Uszarothians, though Uszaroth himself left after the war came to a stalemate. Even though he still has influence, Jamzezism emerged as the dominant religion.

Another war would soon follow taking place in the continent of Aggateya. A Dhragolon clan known as the Dark Warriors discovered how to use negative emotions as a means of combat. This allowed them to become stronger as it gave them newfound abilities such as becoming close to immortal as well as faster reaction times - essentially becoming demi-gods.

The Malinians viewed such powers as unholy and quickly engaged in a conflict known as the Crusades against Darkness. The war was long and bloody, but the Dark Warriors were eventually destroyed from existence. Shortly after, the Malinians made every effort to burn all the documentation on the Dark Warriors' ritual practices. However, some of these documentations survived to the early Fourth Era and were discovered by the Altusian Brotherhood which would eventually result in the resurfacing of the practices of the Dark Warriors.

During this time, the first calendar was created, using the position of the stars and sun as a guide.

Third Era - Altus Era
During this time, some villages began to prosper and flourish, but none as much as Yallvus which was founded around Jamzeze's teachings. Altus Malick began by ruling as a benevolent dictator and used Jamzezism as a basis of law. Eventually, the Yallvusian Union conquered the entire world over the course of 10,000 years, but began to fall apart after the populace began to disapprove of Altus Banya, the last Altus King, and his methods. This lead to a bloody civil war known as the Yallvus Revolution.

Fourth Era - Rustiagon Era
This era began when Rustiagon Dralla took the throne and attempted to add some democratic aspects to the government. Roughly, the beginning of this era marks the first time the Dhragolon entered space. This would eventually lead to the Dhragolon becoming a galactic power, and eventually joining the Galactic Senate to become allies with other powerful empires such as the EIT and KMF.

King Dralla realized that the Dhragolon did not enjoy their current living conditions and worked to create a democracy, a process that would take over a 100 years. Still, this did not stop Dralla from boarding the Dragon Cruiser and exploring space. When he discovered that another alien race was annihilated by a powerful entity, which they would later discover to be the Grox, the Dhragolon finally understood what exactly hostility and evil was.

After Gelda discovered even more nearby hostile empires, from this point onward, the Dhragolonl adopted the religion of Neo-Renyanism. They learned that many races had evil intentions and vowed to expand the empire and prevent evil from ever arising again. Mass genocides would begin throughout the entire Perseus Arm committed by the Dhragolon which was done because of other empires' evil intentions.

Also, by the time Yogan expanded the empire to the edge of the Harbringerands, many races already hailed the Dhragolon as gods because of their ability to destroy small empires in a matter of minutes. Another war had started up towards the end of the Harbringer Wars. The DFM had joined the Galactic Senate which was taking on another enemy - the Kklxin. The Kklxin were an extragalactic race seeking to gain a place in the galaxy, but were aggressive and powerful.
