Θεολογία

Εν αρχή ήταν ο Λέων, άρχοντας της γης. Όλα τα πλάσματα που περπατούν και τρέχουν είναι δημιουργήματα της δικής του θέλησης. Μαζί με αυτά έφτιαξε και τα θηράματα τους.

Ο Όφις ήρθε ύστερα. Όντας ο άρχοντας του νερού και των θαλασσών, έφτιαξε όλα τα πλάσματα που κολυμπούν και έρπουν. Μαζί με αυτά έφτιαξε και τα θηράματα τους.

Ο Αετός, άρχοντας του αιθέρα, κατέβηκε και ένωσε αυτά τα θαυμαστά βασίλεια. Επίσης, δημιούργησε τα πλάσματα που πετούν και τα θηράματα αυτών.

Η Ιστορία της Αυτοκρατορίας

Η καταγωγή της αυτοκρατορίας προέρχεται από τον 1ο Βασιλέα της Icardia, ο οποίος ένωσε τις οικογένειες της χώρας και υπό την εξουσία του κατέκτησαν τους άπιστους νομάδες της Madane και ίδρυσαν την πόλη του Lantros. Την επιθετική στάση αυτή κράτησαν και οι απόγονοί του όπου ύστερα από πολλές προσπάθειες και με παραδειγματική για την εποχή της στρατηγική κατέκτησαν το Σμαράγδι της Ανατολής την Hyvere.
