They devised a plan. They created fabulous magical wonders and placed them in the treasure chambers of dungeons filled with monsters and traps. The genies warned the fairies that these dungeons were very dangerous. Normally, only those who aspired to die with honor or for a chance at a pardon for some crime went to the dungeons. However, sooner or later some group of adventurers ended up acquiring these treasures. The genies were not upset by such successes; they counted on them.Thanks these magical wonders found in the dungeons the mortals and feys learnt the secrets of the magic, and some centuries later a group of fey lords learnt enough magic to face the primal forces. Before being overthrown, the primal powers casted a curse on fey lords who would become the new gods. These in turn would be overthrown by the dragons. In the begining the new gods didn't worry too much for this curse or omen because there weren't dragons, or at least sentient dragons weren't known. Then the dragons appeared, maybe they returned and the primal powers had stopped to block their arrival from other world. The fact is the new gods started to watch the dragons who were too smart and powerful.The genies also suffered the curse to be overthrown by other power but they could trick their fate thanks certain loophole. When the genies found somebody who really deserved their trust and loyalted roleplayed to be defeated by this. Their new ruler also would suffer the same "curse" but this also could be avoided in the same way, faking to be defeated by the next succesor.  And the sign of danger appeared when some dragons began to seek spiritual enlightenment in the hope of ascending to divinity. To avoid their fate the new gods casted a new curse on dragons, but also the rest of sentient beings were affected. Those who wanted mystical powers would be cursed with the madness. The curse was practically harmless for the ordinary mortals who wanted to live their simple lifes as happy as possible. Those who could be affected by the divine curse could a simple cure, drinking water from the blessed sources within the temples. The trick is the healing effect was not permanent and who drank from thouse blessed sources could be affected severly when the new gods wanted to punish them. Some dragons are too proud to accept an ritual of submission and they would rather to face the madness, or they preferred to investigate an alternative cure on their own.There was a mist dragon who used the nickname "master Kong" who wanted to understand the mind, the mental health and the keys of true leadership. He didn't want power but knownledge and understanding, he didn't worry about  climb the hierarchy but leave a positive legacy for future generations. He also was affected by the curse, but he tried to learn to face his within demons and then he discovered the way. Using a new kind of healing mixing divine magic and psionic he discovered to expel the divine curse, but these cause the creation of a new type of monsters, the chimeras, the incarnations of the mental diseases, by the divine curse or other causes. The chimeras were too dangerous and they couldn't be destroyed forever, and then a demiplane was created to be their prison. Now this is know like the demiplane of the Dementia. Later the demiplane started to be used with other goals. Some time later the demiplane was the It became the place where the most dangerous or incurable lunatics were sent, and suprisingly almost everybody or at least most of them recovered the sanity when they were there during certain time. Other discovery is the chimeras could be hunted and their essences or body traps to be used to create medicines against mental diseases, but also the wrong drug could cause a great feeling of euphoria. Some times some chimera could infect or possess a humanoid suffering from stress or trauma, transforming it into something similar to an evil fairy tale character with magical powers. Fortunately, sacred maidens, young women with pure souls, were chosen to combat and heal these possessed individuals. (yes, it sounds like a shojo heroine crying "in the name of the Moon I will punish you"). In the begining the chimeras appeared like mixtures of different animals, but later new types appeared like a surreal mixture of pieces of statues and objects, for example a crossbow walking with legs.</blockquote>
