Challenge #04635-L251: Here Comes Trouble

The Stars begin to fall from the sky and shatter on the ground. Quick! Catch them! Surely something terrible will happen if they all break. -- Deathshead419

The Great Golden Dragon and the Great Silver Dragon were going to have a clutch, so they gathered together the firmament into solid shapes to make the perfect world for their children. It would have mountains and oceans, and plenty for all the dragons to eat. Caves and caverns for the ones who wanted to lurk in them. Changing land masses for the ones who wanted to explore. Stocks of creatures and beasts that would periodically become enormous enough to be a good meal. Giant monsters to battle and, perhaps, also consume.

And to inspire the ones inclined to poetry, they needed a wondrous sky.

The Great Silver Dragon joined her hand with the Great Golden Dragon, and reached into the Plane of Magic, and sowed the night with uncounted stars, so that the children could look up and feel wonder.

Challenge #04283-K265: A Start, An End

The burrow of kobolds found a nest of dragon eggs. The nest was still very warm, but the parent was not returning, as a cruel person that other humans were calling a "hero" had killed them. They took in these eggs to care for them, to raise them, those false "heroes" would not get their hands on these children, ever. Not if the borrow had anything to say of it! -- Anon Guest

Heroism is relative. For every victorious vanquisher of an

Challenge #03791-J138: A Foundation of Small Peace

They had powerful magic, able to make pacts with spirits, beasts, and creatures of all kinds. One spell summons a massive dragon. The two develop a steadfast bond that lasts through the ages. -- Anon Guest

Brybanise the Soothsinger began this with the intent of forging a new peace in this strange new plane of existence. The Dragons were a menage and a threat, and wiping them out was a crime against existence. Perhaps worse than killing a unicorn.

Challenge #03597-I308: The Land and its Lord Are One

Society is a massive tree. If those roots run deep, are healthy and diverse, the tree can stand for a millennia. But even for that society to grow, it needs a healthy, well-grown, seed. When the seed begins to rot, a tree will never flourish. -- Anon Guest

Elves began as arboreal creatures in the Plane of Magic, better known as Nanogh. When a population or two found their way to the Mortal Plane, they thought it pristine and unpopulated. They really
