The Great Shattering

Before the world of Wyrmdream took form, there was only the Great Wyrm Ophyxia, a being of immense, primordial consciousness adrift in the cosmic void. In her profound solitude, she began to dream, and her slumber became the very substance of existence. The mountains, the seas, and the jungles were all borne from her mind, and the First Children, the sentient races of the world, emerged as her most cherished thoughts.

But a mind so vast and so ancient is not a simple canvas of serene beauty. In the first, terrible moment of creation, as her thoughts took hold and gave form to the world, her infinite consciousness did not remain whole. It was a turbulent, volatile act, and in that first cosmic upheaval, a great and terrible fracture occurred. The single, perfect thought that was her soul shattered, not into fragments, but into living shards of will and power.

From each of these broken pieces, a lesser Wyrm was born.

From her ambitions, her ferocious will to dominate, came the searing fury of Fulminax, the Blue Dragon. From her sorrow and her unbearable loneliness in the void came the chilling sorrow of Ozythar, the White Dragon. From her most untamed and primal instincts came the wild, untamed essence of Veylithra, the Green Dragon. But from the core of her being, from the pieces of her most profound hope and love, came the twin souls of Lystris, the Gold Dragon, and Thauris, the Brass Dragon.

As they were birthed from the fracture, the newly-made wyrms scattered across the nascent world. Each was drawn to a place that resonated with its fractured nature: Fulminax to the storm-scoured desert, Ozythar to the highest, most isolated peak, and Veylithra to the untamed depths of the jungle. Only the Dream Twins, Lystris and Tharius, chose to remain together, finding a hidden sanctuary in the heart of the great mountain.

And so, the world of Wyrmdream was not born of a single, peaceful dream, but from a divine wound. The dragons are not separate beings, but living reflections of their Mother's fractured mind, their conflicts and ambitions a mirror of the original schism. The world that stands today is a living testament to that first, shattering moment, a testament to the fact that even the most perfect of dreams can be broken.
