In the oldest times, the world was ruled by dragons and demons. They were the primordial forces through which the world and its primeval matter was formed. They were opposing principles that made the world complete. Law and order versus chaos and madness. Dragons versus demons.

In the dawn of time, when the world was but a canvas awaiting its brushstrokes, it was the dragons and demons who held sway. These ancient beings, embodiments of primordial forces, shaped the very fabric of existence with their opposing principles. In their cosmic dance, they wove together the threads of law and order, of chaos and madness, painting the tapestry of creation with their fiery breath and shadowy whispers. Dragons clashed with demons, their eternal struggle echoing across the expanse of the cosmos.
