When Did Dragons Live on Atmos?
Hey everyone!
Today we suddenly have an introduction to the history of Atmos, and coincidentally, my first observation after rewatching our beloved show. :D
Let’s try to date these frames and also find out what Rinjiin omitted from our heroes. Let’s go!
The Calendar
We’ll start with the fact that, as it happened, our favorite show doesn’t have a calendar, and we’ll have to create one ourselves. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We will do this by analogy with other franchises where fans took some significant canonical event as the starting point. For example, in Star Wars, the Battle of Yavin IV was taken as the starting point, and their calendar is Before/After Battle of Yavin IV (BBY/ABY), and in Avatar: The Last Airbender, they took the arrival of Sozin’s Comet (BSC/ASC, now the Genocide of the Air Nomads - BG/AG). For us, this event is perhaps the defeat of the first Storm Hawks, and our calendar will be BSH/ASH. For example, our favorite show begins in year 10 ASH, and most of the main characters were born in year 4 BSH. We’ve sorted out the calendar, let’s move on.
The First Mention
So, as strange as it sounds, this is one of the simplest things to date, alongside the emergence of the Sky Knights. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have noticed anything and never would have joined the fandom. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Let’s listen to what King Agar and our beloved Stork say in the episode “Calling All Domos.”
Riiiiight, what do we have here?! Serpegris is only produced in the stomachs of dragons, and no one has seen it for 1000 years! Even comments are superfluous. >:D Considering Rinjiin’s testimony that they started being hunted, and that’s how they disappeared, we can date these dragon frames with high confidence to approximately 1030 ~ 1010 BSH. Well, they weren’t destroyed in a single day, and the Serpegris reserves shouldn’t have been depleted instantly either. You must agree, that was easy! :D
What is Rinjiin Hiding?
And, as everyone has likely already guessed, the real reason they started hunting the dragons was different. Let’s listen to what Rinjiin thinks about this.
Taa-a-a-ake it easy, Rinjiin, but lying is not good! Harmless and deadly threat are mutually exclusive concepts! >:D But if Rinjiin is lying, then for what purpose were they actually hunted? What was so special about them that people just decided to exterminate them? Well, of course, it was Serpegris! Apparently, ancient Atmosians needed it so badly that they decided to do something like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As for why they needed it, that’s an entirely different story. That’s all for today. As always, I am not claiming to be the ultimate truth, I’m just writing about what was shown in our favorite show. Thanks everyone for your attention, and see you soon!
