Message: <blockquote data-quote="RoughCoronet0" data-source="post: 8587164" data-attributes="member: 7031665">I was definitely inspired by the idea of a First World where all other prime material worlds were derivative from when creating Salvera, and I combined that idea with 4e’s Dawn War creation story to create a proto-world where the primordials were defeated and the gods abandoned the world that they believed was beyond saving due to the devastation that both sides caused to the world.Salvera is a forgotten world severed from the rest of the multiverse that hopes to remain separated. The dragons act as one of the main defenders of the plane from outside influences due to their ability to connect with their echoes in the greater multiverse. Due to the dragons of Salvera being the most direct descendants of Io the original dragon god, they have powers that most other dragons in the multiverse lack and can shield themselves from their echoes and influence them without detection.For Bahamut, Tiamat, and Sardior, they did not create the world or the original dragons, but their “birth” was integral to giving the gods the upper hand they needed in order to fight and defeat the stronger primordials. I took the idea of the battle between Io and Erek-Hus and modified it a bit to make it an epic multi-plane spanning fight where both entities were nearly evenly matched. I also changed Io’s death, where instead of him being cleaved due to arrogance and hubris, it was instead due to prophetic insight and a selfless act of self-sacrifice where he took the killing blow meant for what would later become the living soul of the Salvera, the Primal Spirit known as the World Tree.When Io died, his body merged with the continent that would be known as Thaczil and from his divine essence came four entities. Tiamat the first formed who embodied Io’s passion, creativity, anger, draconic might and wielded the Arcane and elemental fury that her father had mastered. Bahamut the second formed who embodied Io’s compassion, determination, bravery, righteous fervor and wielded his father’s Divine power. Sardior the third formed who embodied Io’s Intellect, curiosity, discipline, patience and gained his father’s mastery of the Psionic disciplines. World Serpent the fourth formed who embodied Io’s nurturing nature, cunning, protectiveness, wisdom and gained mastery over his father's Primal energies. These four together were able to kill Erek-Hus where their father couldn't alone, making this event the first primordial death and gave the four fledgling dragon gods the insight they needed to be able to combat their stronger foes. They then separated and rallied the other scattered gods together in order to turn the tides of the war in their favor.</blockquote>
