Draconids
The holy people who bear the will of the gods, they are a race with only women. (As dictated by the gods, only women can inherit the spiritual powers associated with the Draconids as these traits are ‘in the blood’.)
Their duty on Parumonstra is to be the lorekeepers and guardians of the dragons and their secrets. Located all over the regions are spires and towers, accessed only when the blood of a Draconid is spilled upon their entrances. There were once many Draconids spread throughout the land, acting as the voices of the gods and guardians of the Sacred Dragons (Zekrom, Rayquaza, Reshiram, Palkia, Dialga, etc.).
The only known family of Draconids are the Caelums, their women the long time guardians of Dragonspiral Tower. There are others, but most have gone into hiding or disappeared completely..
Currently, the Sky Pillar has been completely destroyed due to the fighting between Houses Ignem Terrae and Pontus.
Aside from their ability to open the doors of the sacred towers, the Draconids have the capabilities to understand and speak the language of all dragons.
Addendum: The natural lifespan of a Draconid is around 400-600, if they’re healthy. They age very slowly, so some may not appear very old at all upon meeting. At a young age they develop as normal, but after reaching majority, their bodies aging process will slow down.

Dragon Songs
With the sacred dragons of this world comes great rage and sometimes something is needed to quell them. That was why the Great Creator made the Dragonsongs, melodies to be used by the Draconids in order to quell the fury of uncontrollable gods.
There are many out there, each specific to a dragon and named for them. An example is that the song passed down by the Caelums to soothe Zekrom is called the Lullaby of Lightning. Another is Reshiram’s song which is known as the Requiem of Embers.
Many songs are kept secret within families or passed down all over a nation as some lullaby to sing to children. Whether or not they all work is a mystery. The only confirmed Dragon Songs that work are the songs of the Dragons of Unova, Lugia’s Song (meant to stop the rage of the 3 Bird Titans) and a few others.
In the case of the 3 Dragons of Unova, all 3 songs played together will create one true harmony that will bring the dragons together.

Forbidden Magic
It goes by many names. Small children being taught the arcane arts call it ‘No-No Magic’. Adults know it as the Forbidden Craft. Its true name is Ha’el Magic.
There are many mysteries surrounding its use and origins. Those of Sinnoh, the cradle of all magic, know from whence it came – a craft borne from beyond the veil, it came to their world when theirs connected with the other and spirits and demons spilled forth unbidden.
Ha’el magic required sacrifice, that is life to be used. Whether it was the user’s soul or another source, it is an all-consuming magic and not a single person who ever used it remained alive or sane for long. Those who used it reported hallucinations, whispers of voices in their ears, terrible events happening around them. Hauntings, too. Yet, no matter what they recalled, they all pushed forward in their research of the craft and all of them paid the price for it.
The greatest trove of Ha’el knowledge lays in Snowpoint, beyond the first gate guarded by the Aura Corps and has lain there, unused, for decades since the last rush of ‘winter’.
There are rumours that if one manages the ultimate Ha’el spell, they could become a god, but since no one ever survived the use of this craft it is difficult to confirm. Those that fought against this kind of magic in centuries past would tell you that it is never worth the sacrifice and the people who used it tended towards becoming less than human in mind and spirit. Aura users could see the rot caused by Ha’el magic with their sight; certain mages may cast spells to detect Ha’el users.
Ha’el magic, once it has its talons in you, will not allow you to stop, as if becoming an addiction since the power of this magic allows you to soar beyond any normal mage. Nothing seems impossible to to with the power of Ha’el. Not even the boundaries of life and death are impossible to penetrate with this craft.
But remember, there will always be a price.

The World Beyond
There are five realms or ‘circles’ beyond the gate guarded by the Aura Corps in Snowpoint. The gate connects directly to the fourth realm, which is where Giratina resides.
The five realms are known as thus.
The First Realm/Circle
The one breached by the spirits that live within. Most are benign, even tricksy beings. They can bring council, and often have a strong attachment to the world of the living due to unfinished business. If they are called from their resting place in this realm, back to the land of the living, prolonged exposure to the living world will warp them and turn them into tainted spirits that would need purification. One viewing this circle will find it filled with odd bits and ends, with trees randomly placed here and there.
The Second Realm/Circle
Tainted spirits live here. They are older ones, waiting to be cleansed so that they may enter Paradise or become part of the cycle of reincarnation. These are angrier spirits who have been ripped all too violently from their lives and anyone who draw them from this place might find themselves possessed and made to do things against their will.
The Third Realm/Circle
Home of the ‘dark ones’. Beings with large jewel-like eyes and others who lurk within the shadows. Some can pass easily back and forth between their realm and the world of humans. They say that the likes of Umbreon and Absol came from this realm. Only misery and shadows exists there. Oftentimes, anything coming from this place are called demons.
The Fourth Realm/Circle
A land where everything is twisted, where up is right, down is up and left is changed every other day. Nothing makes sense here. Common sense does not apply and if you are unlucky enough to land in here, you will find times does not apply to this place at all. This land is barren and cold and the worst of spirits reside here. Sometimes, intact with their bodies from when they were alive. Sometimes made of…other things. But they are a mass of angry souls, growing and growing, headed by Giratina itself some say.
The Fifth Realm/Circle
Paradise. The land beyond the touch of ghouls, ghosts and demons. Almost detached and impossible to reach. Known as the realm of the gods and the heroic spirits of the world. This is their Valhalla, their Paradise, their Shangri-la. Not heaven, but an existence much better than those of the first fourth circles and the land of the living.

Evolution
It still happens, however at a less frequent rate than in a modern day setting. And half the time, it is entirely incidental and accidental.
Many kinds of magical creatures will suddenly change form, shocking their human partners when travelling through cave systems or certain connecting tunnels. An example: Clefairy partners will sometimes evolve when travelling through Mt Moon, which is abundant in moon stone deposits. Creatures such as Eevee will be fighting for survival in a wild during the coldest winter and will evolve if they chance upon the proper ice covered rock, ensuring their survival through the dangerous season.
Some scholars have tried to study this, and equate it to some kind of odd and permanent magical transformation when involving magic stones they have come across in travels. Others talk about how it changes naturally, as if going through a metamorphosis like a butterfly (literally in some cases). And while letting someone else handle caught magical creatures for a night, go back to find them utterly transformed the next morning when receiving their companion back.
While not an exact science, some people are utterly enchanted with the various ways these magical creatures can continue to surprise and amaze them and continue to research.
ofthronesandpokemon:
Transportation Circles
Or Teleportation Circles, they allow quick travel from one province to the next. However, they are rarely ever in full use. For one the magic needed to sustain them indefinitely is monumental. Secondly, many of the families worried that keeping the connections opened would cause awful trouble, like sudden invasions or illegal smuggling.
There are two main uses for the circles and that is for a mass exodus in case of emergencies or great events in order to allow ease of travel. Mages will active the circles, which are located in all major cities all over the provinces, immediately upon an emergency. For an event, such as a royal coronation, these circles will be activated at most 3 days before the scheduled event.
When they are in use, they are heavily policed by the families. People are checked before they are allowed on through.
When using a teleportation circle, you are encompassed by a bright light, blinded momentarily as you gain a feeling of floating for a second before appearing in the middle of another circle. Circles are connected two at a time, so as to avoid accidental teleportation to the wrong area.

Marriage Traditions
A small list of a few traditions that litter the world.
In Aspertia it is common practice to present your beloved with a hand made item. In the case of a man to a woman, he gives her a comb he carved himself. From a woman to a man, she would tie a ribbon from her own collection, her own make or some kind of pleated thong.
The men and women of Flocessy are very careful about accepting a single flower from each other, especially if they are unmarried. Flocessy’s tradition is to present a flower to a loved one you are intending to marry. If a girl accepts, she wears the blossom in her hair; a man would generally keep it in a breast pocket or looped through a button hole for a lack of one.
Most of Central Unova and East Unova subscribe to the tradition of presenting jewelry to their loved one. The tradition (and most affordable by most peoples) is a ring. However, it isn’t unheard of to give someone a bracelet or necklace.
In noble and royal families, one must ask the permission of the father to marry a woman. In the absence of the father, the mother. If both parents are dead one must ask the current head of the house for the young lady’s hand in marriage.
In Kanto and Johto it isn’t odd to have en engagement that lasts one year where one betrothed moves in with the other and their family to simulate a family life together. This is to see if the couple is truly compatible enough to deal with the stress of handling or being part of a household together.
In Kalos it is believed to be very unlucky to be married during the winter time, as if it would signify a bad start or a cold marriage to come.
Meanwhile in Sinnoh, they believe that when it snows on your wedding day that the gods are blessing your marriage.
Also a Sinnoh superstition, if it snows in the summer when you hold your wedding ceremony, it is a sign that you will have children blessed by the gods themselves.
In Sinnoh it’s the tradition for the woman to wear white on her wedding day. However, she must always have one blue accessory, for Azelf would watch over her so she doesn’t lose her nerve and get cold feet before reaching the altar.
Hoenn has so many traditions that they often conflict with each other. However, unlike most of the provinces, there is no need to have a presiding priest or monk or religious figure to unite a pair. All you need is the parents of the bride and groom in question to witness the vows being made as legitimate.
Meanwhile, a portion of the tribal clans in Hoenn do not believe in monogamy. It isn’t strange for someone to have more than one life partner or shared lovers.
ofthronesandpokemon:
“Winter”
Anyone from outside of Sinnoh would not understand this bit of euphemism, especially when it snows in parts of Sinnoh for the better part of the year while the rest of the nation has cooler weather than the rest of the provinces.
However, when the older generation speaks reverently and fearfully of ‘Winter’ it is due to the fact that they had lived through the most recent one in centuries. While it had been a short ‘Winter’ due to the assistance of the now dwindling Aura Guardian Corps, the people of previous generations recalled the horrors that spilled forth from the north all due to the growing curiosity of mages interested in the Forbidden Arts.
There exists a lake and beyond that lake a cave entrance to what many in Sinnoh refer to as the Gateway to the Other World. Dark, awful things exist beyond that point and it had been carefully sealed and guarded since the last Winter, along with the indestructible texts and tomes of the mage who attempted to become a god. With the ever changing steam revolution in Sinnoh, people have slowly begun to forget about those dark times, allowing those moments in history to become nothing more than mere legend. Fairy tales told by the aging and senile.
But, of course, those of Snowpoint would never forget. Never.
Many of the Aura Corps have stationed themselves here, waiting for the day when someone would attempt to do what the former mage had done. Many steps had been taken to seal the entrance to an unspeakable force of darkness away, but they would always guard the door. And let it forever be shut.
When someone from Sinnoh says ‘Winter is coming’, remember.
Monsters lurk in the snow.

Reshiram’s Chosen
Much like how Zekrom had chosen its own family and gave them their blessings, so too, did Reshiram pick their own during the days of war between Truth and Ideals.
While lightning marks crossed the skin of the bodies of Zekrom’s kings, those chosen by Reshiram would bear the flames of the first prince. Rather than set ablaze all that descend from the prince’s line would be born with various markings, aglow as if they still burn with Reshiram’s flame. Another characteristic of a trueborn descendant of the Prince of Truth would be inheriting the same blue eye colour of the Dragon of Truth. When one looks into one of these people’s eyes, they would see an inner fire in their blazing gaze.
At war’s end, the family had all but been destroyed. What remains of this family has scattered to the winds, leaving behind the Harmonias as the rulers of most of Unova. Reshiram itself, supposedly sealed away or destroyed in the final conflict.
While the dragon had been lost, its flames truly had not been snuffed out. Survivors of the prince’s line exist to this day, in the form of the Sages of Unova, who even now serve the current Harmonia king. This secret was kept well by the first king who created this council of wise sages; as far as anyone knew the Sages were merely talented fire users and ones with great knowledge of many subjects.
Gorm was the last trueborn male of the Prince’s lineage, for he had a daughter and he hid her well within the forests of West Unova.
Unfortunately for him, a young duke by the name of Solomon Kain discovered her and fell in love with the lady he met in the wood, and for a while, they had a wonderful, beautiful affair. And from their love was born another child, a girlchild who had the marks of the blue flame upon her back. Gorm’s daughter perished in childbirth, leaving now just this one sole bastard daughter in the lost prince’s line.
When he found out the truth from Gorm himself, Solomon accepted the child properly as his daughter and heir, to hide her true identity for even now enemies of Reshiram’s line still existed.
Tales and legends have spread about those Reshiram called their own, as if they are no more than bedtimes stories now. Even to this day, tales of the Fire Dancer Prince are still told to small children; a romantic little fairy tale of a prince who wielded blue fire to win the heart of a foreign princess with three other suitors. History books hold information of the family, but only mentioning them as the losers in several battles, and never writing their exact name, as if to mention them was taboo.
Though the Harmonia housee currently harbours no ill will with the ascension of Ghetsis Harmonia who wishes for a world of Truth and Ideals together, some resentment still exists when the side of Truth, Reshiram, and the Prince are spoken of in mixed company.

The Dragoon Academy
Located in Mistralton City in West Unova, it has always been in the charge of the Kain family.
Here is the origins of the dragon knights or dragon riders, the home of the ‘dragoons’, this academy was established to help teach recruits of all castes to ride a flying mount. The term dragoon was coined as such, due to the first flying mount cavaliers were riding dragons at the time. In this day and age, it is rare for someone to ride a dragon. Most ride flying mounts such as Staraptor, Altaria, or Pidgeot.
Starting from age 10, all are accepted as recruits, though the unworthy are weeded out within the first month of training a new group. The training is harsh and not meant for the weak of heart or the low of will. Upon entering the academy, you are assigned a group, a room in the dormitories and a teacher. Also, if you have not yet arrived at the school with your own mount, the teachers will help you find a bond with any of the magical creatures that fly around Mistralton. To never have a mount is unheard of and most find theirs by the time they are twelve.
The current headmistress is young Lady Seiriol Kain.
The graduating age is usually around 18-20, depending on how quickly each trainee takes to their schooling. Classes are in session all year round, but students are permitted breaks to visit their families or to rest themselves.
Dragoon trainees ages 16 and over get practical, hands on experience as they are often handed assignments that have them travelling and patrolling the breadth of West Unova in order to exercise their knowledge of riding their mounts and being a knight.
The reason why social classes are ignored is that the Kain families believes that those who think their blood means anything in the battlefield, will find that they are wrong and usually in a spectacular way.

Oracles
Sometimes we all need a little push in the right direction, or some guidance. Or, perhaps, just someone to talk to.
Never fear! The oracles are here!
They wander the provinces, lending their aid for no fee, seers who can see the past, present and future with great clarity. However, perhaps their choice in wording is not the best. And in the cases of some, their personalities incredibly abrasive. Yet one could never doubt their ability to give someone their fortune.
If questions you have, seek out the oracles, but be forewarned, they will only answer two questions per person, per day.

Races Sired by the Gods
All ‘magical’ races have origins with a Sacred Guardian of some kind. The Draconids are descendants of various Sacred Dragons. Though their numbers are few now, spread out across the world in order to keep the towers and shrines of their patrons safe. There are those who are Dragonborn, children whose blood ran high with that of a chosen patron.
Those that lurk in the dark, such as vampires, would have a connection to the likes of Lunaala who blessed as much as it cursed those around it. Those that called themselves vampire once came across the ocean from a distant land, who spread their reach through conquering others and thus, with the mixing of blood, created various kinds that lived under the light of the moon.
Sphelkies (beings that shed their animal skins and have human forms) are called thus, since the first of their kind discovered would shed the skins of Spheals when they would come to shore to explore the land. One of the various children of Kyogre, if you took their pelts you could hold them against their will.
There are many races that exist all over this world, born of unions and created through sheer force of will.
But none so magnificent, none so versatile, so perfect, so flawed as Arceus’ final creation: Man.
So adaptable, able to expand beyond their lower origins, soaring high and reaching ever higher. Such potential existed in them, for great goodness or great evil.

Fairy Godparents
In Kalos, the fairies are very much different from those that live outside of the region. For one, they are treated with more respect amongst the Kalosians than their foreign brethren. The reason for this was that many ages ago, when the entire region of Kalos was on the brink of destruction, Xerneas came and brought life back to the soil of the land and with its presence, brought blessings upon the humans there.
They came in the form of fairies and it was said that if the people honoured the fairies, they would never want for anything. When the king of Kalos knelt before Xerneas, the God of Life gave upon the king one of its children and soon began the tradition of fairies and humans creating a special bond.
The fairies were as helpers or advise givers. Sometimes they even granted wishes depending on how powerful they were. Some became strong warriors who did their roles as guardians instead.
Not all were blessed with fairies in Kalos, but a good majority of the population has at least one fairy partner that has been beside them since birth. It is said that the true ruler of Kalos could communicate with Xerneas who would bring with it a Diancie to give as the king’s partner personally like ages past, but this is only a rumour.

The only known family of Draconids are the Caelums, their women the long time guardians of Dragonspiral Tower. There are others, but most have gone into hiding or disappeared completely..
Currently, the Sky Pillar has been completely destroyed due to the fighting between Houses Ignem Terrae and Pontus.
Aside from their ability to open the doors of the sacred towers, the Draconids have the capabilities to understand and speak the language of all dragons.
