Eberron
Prophesied by Dragons…
Tempered by Magic…
Forged in War…

The Creation Myth:
In the mythic past, the world was one and the progenitor wyrms, the first and greatest dragon-kind ruled all. The three most powerful-Siberys, Eberron, and Khyber- discovered (Or created) The Prophecy. A world shattering struggle followed splitting the world into three parts and shattering the prophecy across the breadth of existence. In the end Siberys became the glowing ring that surround the world, Khyber was bound in the endless dark beneath, and Eberron healed the world between by becoming one with it. Siberys called forth the next generation of Dragons, Eberron created all manner of living things, and Khyber spat out the fiends.
