•Vivari was the founder of all the races.
•When the world was young and fertile she gave birth to many creatures; most she loved and nurtured.
•These loved ones were the first races, beautiful and gentle, they represented their mother's gentleness and kindness.
•But the Great Mother's violent side became manifest in her next children, who were vile and delighted in attempting to destroy or enslave the other races.
•Three of these children, Drun, Krenta, and Sorrak, became gods themselves, having drawn great power from the suffering they caused.
•Horrified at what she had created, the Great Mother birthed three others, Naia, Pyrus, and Auram, to try and stop the three hated ones. Into these three good children she poured all of her strength.
•They were to bring balance, but her violent children were themselves too strong, and created  their own children from the flesh of their Mother, weakening her. From the Mother's flesh many vile races were born, overpowering the Elder children. They nearly destroyed their Mother and younger siblings.
•As a final bargain, Great Mother Vivari offered her vile sons valiant, strong enemies to fight in the south, the place that was blighted. But in exchange for this hunting they had to keep their offspring away from the north.
•They agreed, but Vivari knew her children would test her will and power, so she made the Great Spine to at least forestall the inevitable.
•The mountains of the Spine were as high and as deadly as the one who made them; as protective of the Gemmenite realm as any mother would be to her favorite daughters.
•To the north of these mountains Vivari and her three children ruled justly and brought prosperity back to their lands.[/quote]



In the beginning, there was only one god. Later, she would come to be known as Vivari. 

Vivari spent many eons alone, ruling over an empty world in silence. But as time passed by, Vivari tired of the stillness and grew lonely. To combat her loneliness, Vivari gave birth to many creatures, to whom she gave her most fertile lands so that they might thrive under her care. These creatures she loved dearly, and for many years she was happy. These loved ones were the first peoples, and they were beautiful and peaceful; they had embodied their mother's gentleness. The Great Mother cherished them like precious jewels; hence, her favourites were named the Gems. 

However, the Great Mother's violent side became manifest in her next children, who were brutish and strong, delighting in their attempts to enslave and destroy their gentler brethren. Having drawn great power from the suffering at their hands, three of these children - Krenta, Drun, and Sorrak - became gods themselves. 

Horrified by what she had created, Vivari gave birth to three others; gods in their own right, into these new children she poured all her strength. The first she named Naia, and she was dutiful, steady, and wise. To this eldest daughter Vivari entrusted the largest portion of her domain: the Water which fed the world and sustained life for those upon it.

The second child was a son of great strength and energy, who sprung forth from the womb with such vigour that the very earth cracked and bled molten rock at the moment of his birth. Inspired, Vivari named him Pyrus and gave him dominion over Fire, that he might put his great force of will to good use keeping it in check.

Vivari's third and youngest child was meeker than the rest, with moods that changed with the turn of the wind. This daughter was called Auram, and was given the realm of Air so she could hold her quiet vigil over all places where her siblings could not follow. 

Vivari thought that the birth of her three youngest children would once again bring balance to the world. However, her older children grew stronger yet; as a final act of defiance, they created children of their own in their image, sculpted out of flesh torn from Vivari herself. These children were called the Drakken, and they wreaked havoc on the weaker peoples of the world - very nearly destroying them. 

Greatly weakened, Vivari realized that her older children would never be satisfied until they held the world's peoples in their iron grasp. As a bargain, she gave them strong, valiant enemies in the blighted lands of the West to serve as worthy adversaries under one condition: That they stay away from her beloved lands in the East. They agreed. 

While they were placated for a time, the Great Mother knew her stronger children would continue to test her will and power. As a final effort to protect her favoured lands and children, Vivari pulled a great mountain range out of the earth, longer and taller than any others the world had ever seen. It stretched from the North-most point to the South-most along the backbone of the world, separating the holy lands of the East from the forsaken lands of the West. She populated the mountain range (which would later come to be known as The Great Spine) with monsters of every shape and size, formidable to Drakken and Gems alike, and gave them one sacred duty: Guard the Spine against any who dare cross it.





**let's just say there's some sort of guardian monster migration or some shit at one time of the year and that's why the drakken only reap once a year
