The world isn't as mundane as most would like to think (or as some wish it weren't), not even as slightly magical as some groups of people think so. The world we know and tolerate would never have been what it is today if it weren't for the fact Earth has a pocket dimension attached to it. A dimension vastly different from what Earth was meant to be. The only creatures of Earth that were originally from Earth, are dinosaurs and creepy crawlies, and even then dinosaurs are debatable. In this pocket dimension, known to those who know of its existence as Dimenka Orami or just Orami, originate many different creatures. Two of which Humans and, what many groups of people know to be, Dragons come from. In Orami, war has raged between these two species for millenniums before the dinosaurs seized to exist and Humans came to be. Yet the secret of their existent is as tightly kept in the present as it's been all these years, with only those trusted with the knowledge being told of it. Just centuries before the first Humans and Dragons came to be, the Grand War began and creatures of all manners were dying gruesome and tragic deaths. Nothing became of most of those who lost their lives, but some were powerful enough to leave behind scattered wisps of essence. This essence later became the magical creatures we know today to be myth. But the creatures that later became the Dragons were special in that their essence sprang forth new land masses. When the war leaked out of Orami and onto Earth, the real destruction began. The massive power of these ancient creatures caused the end of the dinosaurs and the splitting of the Earth's land, while also creating more land, as Earth started out as mostly a large mass of ocean. In the mist of this war, two of the ancient creatures fell in love. One being of the species that later evolved into Humans: Mytami. The other being of the species that later evoled into Dragons: Dratekoni. They together made offspring the likes of which the creatures of Orami had never seen before, their so great and immense that they were feared by even the most formidable of beings. The eldest, a kindhearted and strong-willed female, the perfect hybrid of Mytami and Dratekoni. She cared for all who seek help and even those who did not. The youngest, a troubled and mischievous male, a dark spirit whose form is a mystery to all. The eldest, named Duracia, fought to protect as many creatures as she could in the war while her brother, Dykana, watched the destruction from the sidelines. The war ended with the death of Duracia's mother - the Mytami named Sioya Metta of the Isis Clan - for Duracia, Dykana, and their father - a Dratekoni named Draedoriicamor - all worked together to end the lives of those who turned their back on the Mytami royal: the Mytami species. The results of the war were the dwindled existence of the Mytami species, with creatures born of Mytami essence becoming superior in number in comparison. The Mytami who refused to continue fighting - since fighting meant a massacre of their kind - eventually adapted to a life on Earth - or Earth's Surface as many called it - where the war had moved to, resulting in the extinction of the dinosaurs. In hopes of appeasing the Dratekoni - who mostly stayed in Orami - they also used less of their supernatural abilities, until they ended up using so little that is wasn't a part of their life anymore. Over time, they evolved to the point where they seized to have the ability to do magic, though they retained just enough to live. These creatures were soon referred to as Humans. From the few Dratekoni that stayed on Earth's Surface, many adapted to the new environment and its less chaotic nature compared to Orami. In this new environment, they also tended to use less of their abilities, limiting them to ones they needed as opposed to overpowering obstacles. They also ended up evolved to less powerful beings with only abilities that would be of better use for their section of Earth's Surface. These creatures were soon referred to as Dragons. The few true Dratekoni that remained and retained their original forms, soon lost their ability to return to Orami and so made Earth's Surface their home. The few true Mytami that remained and retained their original forms, soon joined the newly dubbed Humans in forming civilizations, in which they were - in time - thought to be just sorcerers and shamans. Some of these remaining Mytami disagreed with the peace and waited in patience as they built up the strength to fight against those who 'wronged' them. They eventually were able to fight against Duracia and Draedoriicamor. In the shadows, Dykana was using his powers to cause chaos around Earth's Surface. Conflicted with the task of choosing between the duty of fighting alongside her father and the responsibility of reining in her deranged brother, Duracia reluctantly decides to deal with her brother, a fight ensues, and Duracia is forced to put him down. Like most Dratekoni, Dykana becomes a mass of land, but because of his Mytami heritage, he retains his consciousness. Because this battle happens at the South Pole, the landmass he becomes merges with the continent presently known as Antarctica. The section of the continent that is Dykana soon earns the name of The Abyss. Weakened by the battle with her brother, Duracia is of little help in stopping the full force of the Mytami and tranced Human army fighting against her father and his allies. She offers enough help to turn the tide in the battle but lost her life to the leader of the Mytami/Human, a powerful Mytami named Pietari of the Taika Clan. The final blow was Pietari using his power over wind to drive a spear - made of a perfect merging of pure Jannora Steel and Kiyora Diamond, dipped in the waters of Behlora - straight into Duracia's chest, the force so strong that it blasted her into the air and carried to over the Atlantic Ocean, where her essence becomes a landmass with a consciousness, similar to her late brother. Instead of an abyss in the heart of Antarctica, she becomes an island in the sky, her remaining power keeping her floating high above the Atlantic Ocean to forever slowly hover at the limits of Earth's atmosphere. In the end, despite Duracia's demise, the Dratekoni win and Pietari, who survived, retreated with the promise that he would rid the world of all Dratekoni, starting with Draedoriicamor himself. To Be Continued.

Concepts for Duracia
Hand Crests
These are Duracian Hand Crests. This is how a citizen of Duracia can be identified. If you are considered a Duracian by blood or choice, this is a symbol that lays dormant under the skin in one's dominant hand until revealed under the magic of a Dragon Rider, Duracian Guard, or Duracian Forensic Agent. A Duracian citizen may also call upon the symbol - only willingly - if they so choose.
