In the beginning During the savage early days of Creation, the Dragon Kings were the only intelligent life. But as the world became less violent and deadly, the Primordials crafted humanity, both to experiment in creating intelligent life, and because the Dragon King population was fixed at 150 million and could never exceed that number due to a lack of more Dragon King spirits. The Primordials desired greater numbers of servants to do their bidding, and based on their brutal examinations of the Mountain folk, the Primordials created the human race as a species that could spread over the face of creation. Because mortals were both weaker and more numerous than Dragon Kings, they were made their overlords by the Primordials.
