Volcanus is the supreme dragon god who created the Volcarnivorians by breathing lightning across the land. He had twin sons, the good Dragonus and evil Nilanth. Fed up with the cruel Volcarnivorians, Volcanus caused a flood to wipe them out. A few survived by following Ashenfield's warning to build a boat. They lost their magical abilities but became the first humans. Later, the evil Nilanth's wife Zinnath kills Dragonus out of jealousy but Volcanus resurrects him.

5. Creation
In a world of fire was Volcanus,
the supreme dragon god.
His existence in Volcarnivore
felt empty without a family or
subjects, so he decided to
create the first Volcarnivorians.
Volcanus breathed lightning across the land
giving birth to a powerful race of dragon people.

6. They rose from the ashes with wings, tails,
and wondrous abilities including being
able to breathe fire. The Volcarnivorians
needed to drink the lava of the Great
Volcano in order to maintain their magical
abilities.

7. His wife Marganth was the love of his life and gave
birth to his twin boys, Dragonus and Nilanth. As all
things require balance, Dragonus was good and Nilanth
was evil. Volcanus was pleased with his creation and
happy to have a family to share his reign with.

8. Flood
Fed up with the cruel and narcissistic beings his people had
become, Volcanus once again breathed lightning. This time
he used it to start a massive storm that brought with it a
catastrophic flood. The rising waters washed away all the
volcanic lava that was necessary for the Volcarnivorians to
maintain their magical gifts.

9. At first the dragon people were able to fly to higher
ground and avoid the flood waters, but as the storm
raged on, they lost their ability to fly when they were
unable to replenish themselves with the lava.

10. Slowly the dragon people were all consumed by the flood
except for a select few. Ashenfield knew Volcanus’s plan
and felt there were some Volcarnivorians whom followed
Dragonus’s influence who remained pure of heart and
mind. Ashenfield warned them of the coming flood and
the loss of their abilities.

11. He instructed them to build a boat and sail to the mountain in
which he had grown a special cherry tree. He told them that
the flood would not reach this tree and its fruit would sustain
them until the flood waters receded.

12. These survivors lost
their wings, tails and all
magical abilities but
rejoiced in the fact that
they were spared. They
were now the first
humans and
repopulated the earth.
The Volcarnivorians may
have drowned into
extinction, but their
tales of dragons and
magic live on.

13. Dying and
Resurrected
Even though Zinnath is married to Dragonus's twin,
Nilanth, she yearns for Dragonus's powerful position in the
hierarchy. She attempts to seduce Dragonus, and her
advances are spurned. Furious, she burns Dragonus to ash
with magic flames brought on by her sheer evil will.

14. Volcanus knows what has happened and resurrects
Dragonus with the Flame of Life. He banishes Nilanth
and Zinnath to the underworld, which is when they
become the rulers of the underworld.

15. Afterlife
When dragon people die with honor, they ascend to the
sun to burn eternally in the paradise flames of Flamehalla.

16. When dragon people die
a dishonorable death,
they are led by Nilanth
to one of the poles to
have their flame
extinguished forever.

17. When death is neither honorable, nor dishonorable,
they are in a limbo-like state inside the earth melting
rocks for magma, which is food for living dragon
people.
