So I take it you want to know exactly what happened to the Empire before now. The Empire started long ago as a small place where the featherdragons lived, and adopted out their young to worthy adopters. All was as it should be until the featherdragons heard of fighting going on in a place not too far away. They had a meeting and decided that they must go and help the people. The last of the eggs from the current clutch were adopted out and the featherdragons flew together to the mountain under seige. Helping the Fuzzians that lived there, the featherdragons managed to drive back the attackers and peace was restored. The Fuzzians asked the featherdragons to stay, and since they were all there already, they decided that yes, they would stay.
Residence was set up at the peak, overlooking the rest of the land. This mountain was the beginning of the very Featherdragon Empire you have heard about for so long. Peace reigned and the featherdragons, with their Fuzzian friends, prospered. They got so numerous on the mountain that they had to set up sands in other parts of the world. Some went down by ocean, some into the desert, some made their home in the plains, and some stayed on the mountain. As will happen, however, these places got crowded also, and the featherdragons decided that it was time they started adopting out offspring again. Many people came to adopt the legendary creatures who had saved their world and the sands were all bustling with the new activity. Along the way, though, other creatures started popping up. At the ocean, UnFossils and Seafeathers appeared. At the desert, G'm~dyr's and Featherfennics made an entrance. At the Plains, Ponies and Florafeathers prospered, and at the mountain, Minifeatherdragons, Featherdogs, and Feathergoats sprung up, seeminly from the mountain itself. The Empire grew and grew.
It was not always peaceful at the Empire, though. Many were lost in a bloody war against the Zombie featherdragons. The Zombies were eventually defeated after a very long war and things were once again peaceful, for a time. Then disaster struck. Plagues became abundant and most of the creatures were killed. A few featherdragons escaped, bringing with them Lessa, Lauren and Lallante, to make their new home here. They did not totally escape the plague, however, for their bodies have been altered. For an unknown reason, the featherdragons that reside here developed elemental powers quite unlike those of their ancestors. Those are the featherdragons you have come to adopt, care to proceed?
