Althrial's History
**The Legend of Althrial, the All-White Dragon**
**Origins:**
700 million years ago, the world was a realm of magic, mystery, and chaos. Amidst the swirling tempests of power, a dragon was born, unlike any other – Althrial, the All-White Dragon. He was the offspring of two ancient celestial dragons, Lunaria and Solaris, who had mated during a rare cosmic event.
**Appearance:**
Althrial's scales gleamed like pristine snow under moonlight. They were said to reflect the purity of the cosmos and the innocence of the world before corruption. His eyes were twin galaxies, swirling with stars and nebulae, providing a window into the vastness of the universe.
**Powers:**
The All-White Dragon's breath could freeze time, and his roar could bend reality. His wings, when fully spread, could eclipse the sun, bringing forth a temporary night. Althrial also had the unique ability to heal wounds and cleanse corruption, making him not just a force of destruction but also of restoration.
**Rule Over the Dragon Kingdom:**
As Althrial matured, his wisdom and power became unmatched. Seeing the potential in uniting the fragmented dragon tribes, he established the Dragon Kingdom. Under his rule, the various dragon species – fire-breathers, storm-bringers, earth-shakers, and more – lived in harmony, respecting the balance of nature and magic.
**Challenges and Adversaries:**
Not all welcomed Althrial's reign. A faction of dark dragons, led by the malevolent Nighthorn, sought to overthrow the All-White Dragon and plunge the kingdom into eternal darkness. A series of battles, known as the "Ecliptic Wars," raged for centuries. Althrial, with his loyalists, battled against Nighthorn's forces in epic confrontations that reshaped landscapes.
**The Great Sacrifice:**
In the final battle, realizing that the war was tearing apart the very fabric of the world, Althrial made a momentous decision. Channeling all his energy and life force, he unleashed a blinding light that engulfed the entire realm. When the light faded, Nighthorn and his dark forces were banished to the shadow realm, never to return. But Althrial too was gone, having sacrificed himself to save the Dragon Kingdom and the world.
**Legacy:**
Althrial's legacy lived on. The All-White Dragon became a symbol of hope, sacrifice, and unity. Shrines dedicated to him were built across the kingdom, and dragons of all species would pay homage. Legends spoke of a prophecy that one day, when the world would be on the brink of another cataclysm, Althrial would return, reborn from the cosmos, to guide and protect once more.
To this day, dragons and other magical creatures, when they look up to the sky on a clear night, whisper a prayer to Althrial, the eternal guardian of the Dragon Kingdom.
