The Legend of Solgenitus

The Legend of Solgenitus, also called the "Red Sun", is an ancient story told even before the Terrasolis was founded.

The legend begins saying how Solgenitus came to be: "There was a great light in the sky, and from it came a triumphant roar. A great golden dragon with four great wings and a long whip-like tales decended from the sky."

It goes on telling how the three nations which now make up Terrasolis came to be: "The dragon came wtih three children. All battled with each other for power and honor from their father. Their father was greatly amused by their willingness to fight, and therefore cast them down to fight to the death as mortals and gain honor. So each gathered great armies to slay the each other. But before even a sword was unsheathed a wise man came and persuaded them that it should not be them fighting for honor given by their father, but rather slay their father and gain eternal glory by vanquishing him. Then they all turned on their father to slay him, but the Great Dragon would not stand for this so he destroyed them all. But the Dragon Children had sons and they ruled the nations their fathers had left them."

And a curse at the end of this legend reads: "Again the Great Dragon will rise and punish the sons of his sons and their sons down to the 1000th generation for their trechery."

Some beleive it is pure myth and yet others beleive there is truth to this tale and that The Dragon has returned...
