Long ago, the Prime Ahroth created three land masses: The Olde World to the east, Kasuria in the middle, and Drakoria to the west.


The Furres of Kasuria (and the Olde World) grew into a courtly chivalrous society, well-organized, ruled by a king or queen who preside over the Great Council, made up of representatives from the Noble Houses. Drakoria was mostly mountains and hills, and inhabited by wild nomad Furres, who lived in tribes made of around 50-100 Furres.


The Prime Jujinka made the wasp-like sentient Bugges to live in burrows underground and fly through the air, and the Faerie Furres (Elvenfurres) to watch over the forests.


The Primes also made three kinds of friendly Draconid: the nocturnal and dayblind Watchwyrm , the Minidragon, and the "True" Dragon.

         Some time after their defeat at the hands of the Primes, the Dark Primes gathered upon Drakoria, and, led by Dyarr/a, they captured a number of true dragons, and from them, recreated the extinct dragonlike people, called the Wyrmmes.


The legendary battle between the Wyrmmes called the Ommol Hoonim and the Ommol Vanoor caused a strange condition in Drakoria: all metal brought here turns to rust in a matter of hours. In a day they turn to dark reddish to greenish powder. (Tools are thus made from non-metal, and edged weapons are not as sharp or strong as their Kasurian counterparts.)


The Primes no longer begot children amongst the Furres, but their descendants were still alive, and from these long-lived individuals came a form of telepathy: the ability to transmit speech, thought, and emotion. The ability was hereditary, that is, the children of those strong in "Mindspeaking" would also tend to be strong. Once in a very long time, a QuarterPrime Furre descended of the Primes might also be born with wings, considered an omen of good fortune in Kasuria.


Throughout the land, the Dark Primes founded evil cults, devoted to trying to wipe out the QuarterPrimes, descendants of the goodly Primes. They also mated with the first of the Drakorian Wyrmmes, introducing the potential for the dreaded ability called "Kajutar".


The Wyrmmes grew more numerous and took over Drakoria. The Dark Primes decreed that the Wyrmmes should rule the Furres, and Furres should rule the Bugges.


The people of the Dragonlands are thus divided into two nations: the Drakorian Empire and the smaller independent kingdom of Kasuria. The Drakorians remain loyal to the evil Dark Primes, but the good Kasurians believe in equality of the races, and freedom.


In Drakoria, Wyrmmes are the rulers. Furres of Drakoria are next in status, and they keep both Bugges and other Furres as slaves, yet it is illegal to enslave a Wyrmme. Wyrmmes born with wings are eligible to be on the Council, which supports the Dark Emperor/Empress.


Kasuria is an enlightened monarchy; slavery is highly illegal in Kasuria.
