Dragons ruled this world for millions of years, taking from the land  only what they needed to survive. They made their homes in the highest  crags, and were one with the land, the sea, and the skies, natural  creatures of magic. The dragons of old believed in the One, Father of  the Gods, the Creator, who forged the world for them, supported on the  branches of the Tree of Life, Yggdrasil. The dragons roamed free, and  took what the world had to offer. They called their world, Calasia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey  were masters of day and night, the greatest hunters over all. Steeped  in tradition and honor, they took one mate for life. Dragons developed  laws and social order. They separated into clans, and when the walking  races sprung from the earth, dragons swore an oath never to interfere  with their ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf the walkers, man was the most industrious,  though shorter lived than most. Men lacked wisdom and foresight, and  spread like ivy across the world. They killed and fought amongst  themselves, always seeking more than they needed. Some grew in might and  magic, dark orders, evil temptresses stealing the lifeblood from the  earth, twisting it into something corrupt, tempting the fate of the  gods, and mythical figures come to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the longest time, dragons remained loyal to the oath…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere  are many stories that weave through the tapestry of time on Calasia,  however not all hold such significance as the ones you will experience  here, as we come to see how Calasia is inexorably linked to Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49440506970416,"sku":"BDahjp","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/330029-ahjp-Square.jpg?v=1736519923","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ahjp","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
