Vryoga Mahva Thostra

Far below the surface, in the labyrinthine caverns that festoon the pillars of the earth where reality meets the underworld of Ballan Sur, a vile and ancient name is whispered by countless forked tongues in the profane legends of the reptilians: Vryoga Mahva Thostra, the Dragon God.

Before the creation of the world, a great beast soared through the vast emptiness of the cosmos. Its teeth were mountains, its blood hellfire, its breath lightning, and its form made from the void between stars. At the beginning of time, another of the ancient powers made war upon the beast, and slew it.

The beast's bones were crafted into the foundations of the world, its flesh was used to create the firmament of the sky, and droplets of its blood were scattered into the heavens to form the stars. Its hateful, burning right eye was cast into the sky and became the sun, while its blinded left eye was exiled to the night, becoming the moon. Its breath was used to give the newly created world the spark of life, and thus were the first mortals created.

Though long dead, the primordial beast is not forgotten. It continues to be worshipped by the thousand reptilian races that dwell in the abyssal depths, their minds warped and twisted by countless eons spent trapped in the bowels of a primordial being's dead, but still dreaming carcass, its incomprehensible whispers driving each generation successively more insane until all had been bent to its mad will. The reptilians revere the beast as a god in the form of a dragon, the most powerful of all reptilian beings. Crawling upon the bones of their blasphemous deity, the reptilians constantly plumb the depths for answers into the true nature of their master. For they believe that with the proper rituals, one day the Dragon God might be reawakened, marking the destruction of the world.
