The Ancheros Tome
Before the age of the Sylph and of peace, Illustria was a world filled with chaos and never ending destruction. One species ruled over all with an iron fist, the Dragons. They set the land ablaze with their fires, killed for their own amusement and exhausted the land’s resources with their vast numbers and size. The dragons were separated into five factions, each with their own Dragon Lords, who constantly waged war with each other in their lust for power and territory. The world cried out in pain, and sought an end to what would be its inevitable destruction.
The eyes of Illustria fell upon another, more humble race, the Sylph. The Sylph were small in stature compared to the dragons, but they were able to hear the cries of Illustria and reached out to help the planet. In return, they were gifted with the power of magic, the power to bend the natural laws of the world to their bidding. The Sylph rose up against the Dragons and took them by surprise. The Dragons, unable to swallow their pride and work together were quickly overpowered. The amazing power of the Sylph’s magic caught the eye of the Dragon Lords, and they sought of a means to steal that power for without magic, the Sylph were no threat.
The Dragon Lords had one special ability, the power to grant wishes, though they were often granted with great consequence to the one making the wish. When all five Dragon Lords united in their desires, their ability could make anything happen. In desperation for victory and with a burning desire to end the Sylphan race, the Dragon Lords finally united in an effort to steal their magic. The Sylph were stripped of their magic and given to the dragons, and all was thought lost.
At the moment of their eventual demise, five brave Sylphan warriors approached the Dragon Lords with purified spirits, in perfect harmony with the world and shone brightly with pure, magical energy. Using all of their strength, the five warriors sealed the Dragon Lords away for all eternity, and sacrificed themselves to ensure they would never escape their bindings. Without their lords the Dragons were swiftly defeated, and peace had finally come to Illustria.
A millennia has passed since the new era of the Sylph had begun, and dragon fossils continue to be excavated in order to harness the magical properties that once belonged to their kind. However, dragon fossils have become scarcer and thus fewer magical tomes have been constructed over the years. In order to continue the production of tomes the Sylph have begun to wander farther and farther away from the city to explore the land and rediscover its long forgotten secrets...
