-(The original resides in the great library of New Myabra, translated here)

+(translators note: The library at New Myabra has numerous artifacts signed by this Loremaster Esiwyss across an incredible range of years.  The entry from which this essay comes seems to be a work in progress which itself pulls from many different eras of research.  While their research (where it can be verified) seems above reproach, all records of this individual seem to be second hand and inevitably via the account of someone long dead.  Whether it is a pen-name used by a hidden society of dragon loving historians or a reclusive and long-lived real person is unknown.)

 The colors we know today were rare, dragons evolved with a much more muted variation of colors until gaining intelligence and then the gifts of Apsu and Tiamat.  Back then Tiamat was less hateful and the two held a steady truce representing the opposing forces of creation and destruction necessary for a living universe.  Their gifts brought these already incredible beings into the greatness we see today.  Pinnacle beings of nature blessed with direct contact to the elemental planes.
