THE OVER-POWER
There are powers in the cosmology of every world that far exceed those of others. These powers are considered “Over-Powers” and often represent those beings that created the worlds themselves. In Solinar, this is no different. Through the will of Io, was brought into being with the assistance of the Elemental Lords. These beings represent the top-tier powers of Solinar.

IO (EYE-OH) OR ASGORATH (AZ-GO-WRATH) - Supreme Deity of Solinar – “The Ninefold Dragon”
During the far, ancient past, Io took it upon himself to create a home for his chosen followers, the Dragons. On many worlds Dragons of all kinds, both good and evil, were a fading breed. Pushed out of their homes by the expansion of other races, battled against for their treasures, even fought against in efforts to destroy their race as a whole… Dragons were often beset on all sides. This is not to say that the Dragons were helpless victims of crimes. Many of the Chromatic Dragons indeed brought much of the actions taken against them on themselves. However, as Io was the creator of all Dragonkind, he loved all of his children. As such, Io created Solinar in order to give his children a home. The story of Io is the story of all Dragonkind, the story of Solinar, and the efforts to protect both… and is told throughout this book. It is important to note that Io does NOT grant any power to those who worship him directly, nor does he communicate with anyone save for Divine Beings… and then only rarely.

THE ELEMENTAL LORDS
The power of the Druid comes from the very elements of Solinar around them, presided over by the Elemental Lords. There is rumor of another Elemental Lord… a being that presides over the powers of Entropy… but to most it never makes itself known. Finding it is an adventure all its own… and could mean destruction of all those it encounters. The known Elemental powers are as follows:

 

AKADI (ah-KAH-dee) - Primordial Lady – “The Queen of the Air”
Akadia is one of the four Elemental Lords of the cosmos. She is the embodiment of the element of air and goddess of elemental air, speed, and flying creatures. As an immortal being of freedom and travel, she instructs her followers to move as much as possible from place to place and from activity to activity. In Solinar, and in other places, she is considered a Primordial… a being around before even the Gods came into existence.
