Welcome to Sheenra!
“In the beginning, there was the One, the only presence in the void of nothing we call the Beyond. And then after eons of silence… there was Fyre.”
– The Creation of Sheenra, Elric Silver
World Overview
At the beginning of time, the Great White Dragon known as Fyre descended from the heavens and created the world and land of Sheenra. Fyre then created the first Lineage of people known as the Sheena to populate and live in this land.
Next, Fyre created three children known as the Chroma Dragons:
Gaiad, the green dragon, the god of nature, joy, courage, instincts, will, morality, law, and community.
Anu, the red dragon, the god of fire, anger, impulse, power, freedom, independence, chaos, speed, strength, body, and earth.
Snastrum, the blue dragon, the god of water, ice, logic, intellect, wisdom, wonder, the mind, memory, sadness, patience, space, and time.
Finally, Fyre created the Lineage of Humen, a gift for his children to govern as gods, and to further populate the realm. This ushered in the Age of Dragons, and for 10,000 years, The Dragons, the Sheena, and Humens lived in peace and harmony.
Then came Izu, the black dragon, god of death, hatred, pain, darkness, evil, and destruction. Birthed from Fyre’s desire to erase all of his impurities and flaws and become a truly perfect being. Izu’s Awakening marked the beginning of the Dragon War, where the dragon gods fought for control over the world of Sheenra. In the end, light prevailed, and Izu was defeated, however at the cost of Fyre making the ultimate sacrifice.
At the end of the war, the chroma Dragons retreated back to home on Dragon’s Haven, leaving the Sheena and Humens to fend for themselves in Sheenra. This began the Age of the Sheena, who with their Immortality, and the magical powers given to them by Fyre, became the most powerful and advanced lineage in Sheenra.
The Sheena erected the great city of Starfall, where the Great Wizard Academy was established. The Wizards led Sheenra into another period of peace and prosperity, as well as innovation and progress, for both Sheena and the Humen lineages. For over 1,000 years the world of Sheenra lived in peace, however it once again came to a scratching halt, when one Wizard known as Dracken, discovered the power of Black Magic, and became the first Shadow Wizard, a group of evil wizards who declared war on Starfall and the Wizard academy, and so the Great Wizard War began.
For hundreds of years both sides fought over the fate of Sheenra, and though the war never actually ended and no winner was declared, the advanced civilization created by the Sheena was destroyed during the war, and all but very few of the Sheena lineage remain, and even less of the Wizards.
When the dust settled from the war, the Age of Men began. For over a century Humens fought and struggled for power in Sheenra, however eventually the various regions were united under the Kingdom of Bryte, and the royal family of the Brytefyres, Humen descendants of the Great White Dragon God Fyre.
The Brytefyre family ruled for centuries and kept the realm in relative peace for most of the Age of Men, until 1,335 AF (A.F. – After the fall of the Sheena Empire) when the King Eldric Brytefyre is killed, along with most of the living Brytefyre family, and the throne is usurped by the royal economic advisor Baron Harkhan Greed, who crowns his nephew, Alaric Alexander Greed-Brytefyre II as the new king of the Bryte Kingdom. This event shatters the Kindom of Bryte and the various regions now fight for power, independence and control over the land of Sheenra.
