Once upon a time, Dragons were as present on Earth as were the elves and as are the humans. They were no instinct-leaded Monsters, but intelligent, peaceful and overall kind species which populated Earth, living alongside nature. They could talk with all life forms, including the humans and the elves, and many of them had great friends among the humans.
But it should not stay like this: someday a man known as Anselmo, who had just become a knight, wanted to prove his skill in a battle against the fiercest being of the world, to impress his fiance and become famous. Leaded by the naivity and foolishness of a young adult he walked out into the forest, and confronted a dragon with his sword alone. He never returned, and the people that knew him became infuriated at the dragons for what they had done, attacking them. Many lost their lives, and the few that returned told stories of blood-lusting beasts that had slaughtered them mercilessly. It was only a matter of time before more attacks were launched, and the humans attacked the dragons for a reason that they themselves were responsible for. And the dragons had to defend, killing their atackers and only confirming their beatal status in the human's eyes. It was only a matter of time before the king heard of the events, and sent out his army to attack the dragons, and this time the strongly armed and numerically superior human army succeeded in killing most of the dragons. Only few could escape thanks to their wings, which brought them out of the human's reach, at least for a while. The elder dragons decided to flee with their tribes, and what became known as the Great Dragon Exodus was thereby initiated. Hundreds of dragons which had lived peaceful lives before were suddenly attacked by humans, and as they too fled they joined the community of dragons which were on the run. In the end over ten thousand dragons were united under the Elder Dragon's orders. But where should they go?
There seemed to be no way out for the dragons, until one day one of them coincidentally found a large plateau hidden in a large valley which could only be accessed by air or through a secret mountain pass which until then was undiscovered by humans. Immediately the Elders held a vote, and decide in unison that this would be the place for them to stay at. Like this the Great Dragon Exodus ended.

It was about a hundred years later that things began to change. Dragons had become mythical creatures, the object of legends which characterised them as monstrous beings which could only be slain by the greatest heroes. But a small group of merchants which had been lost in the mountains accidentally found the mountain pass leading to the home of the dragons, which was called the Dragon Plateau by the dragons inhabitating it. They did not enter it, but later told stories about it. Although no one of them found the pass again it was now known that there was something out there...

Quickly various adventurers, merchants and travelers came to search for the pass. Some settlements appeared in the mountains, some even near the pass, but it remained unfound to the dragon's luck.

Soon, the elves, formerly also inhabitants of Earth which had suffered discrimination and attacks from the humans also appeared. With their great perception and magical abilities they found the pass, and joined the dragons on the plateau, swearing to keep the secret. Everything seemed to go well. This was not to stay like this though: the combined magical power radiation of elves and dragons caused many elven, draconic and human children from settlements near the Dragon Plateau to be born with a power known as The Link: from the first moment since their birth on a dragon and an elf or human would feel an attractive force towards each other, and they would not rest until they found the one they were linked to. It would mean the beginning of a new, never-seen friendship between Dragons and elves or humans, but it also endangered the Dragon's and elves' secrecy as the human children would find the mountain pass with ease thanks to their link towards a dragon, while the dragons would leave the plateau to find the human. And the consequences of the revelation of the dragon's existence to the public would be incalculable...

So, this is the story. Now for background information.

Places:

The Continent: Known as Atlan, it is a large continent somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. It has never been seen by humans from the outer world. Its evolution level is about as high as it is in Europe (medieval time), plus the many technologies created by magic power.

Dragon Plateau: Secret place hidden in the mountains of Atlan. Dragons and Elves are its main inhabitants, but there also are a few humans that have The Link towards a dragon, and have therefore managed to find the secret entry to the place.

Surroundings of Dragon Plateau: Dragon Plateau being located in the mountains, its surroundings are equal. The climate on Atlan being quite different from other continents, many places that otherwise would not exist on Earth can be found here. The mountains are inhabited by many humans in various settlements and villages.

Kingdom of Atlan: A single King rules the relatively small continent of Atlan. The territory under his control is the whole of Atlan, minus the mountains of and around Dragon Plateau.

Great Swamps: Located in the West of Dragon Plateau, somewhere in the mountains. Many Geysirs are here, which heated up the place and let gases escape from the ground. Most of it looks like a rocky and fissured plain, with unpredictable steam fountains erupting randomly, but there are large smelly swamps in the far west, where close to nothing lives. Generally the place is not inhabited by any race due to the great dangers that lurk here, and the minimal interest as nothing grows here which would be comestible.

Magma Plain: Located in the East of Dragon Plateau. Between the Magma Plain and Dragon Plateau many villages are built in the mountains because of the warm climate generated by the Magma Plain, but the Plain itself is not inhabited much. At some point the mountains suddenly drop away until the level is about 50 meters above the sea. The large plain that is there from that point on is the Magma Plain. Like in the Great Swamps, little grows here, and no one inhabitates it. Lots of small volcanoes, lava rivers and underground caverns, some of which are flooeded with magma, are found here. There is also a river flowing down the mountains, whose water gets converted to steam in the hot climate.

Northern Ice: Located in the North of Dragon Plateau, in the Pacific Ocean. Due to irregular winds and magnetic currents the North of Atlan is completely frozen up under thick layers of ice. The extreme cold outbalances the hot temperatures of Great Swamps and Magma Plain, making the mountains of and around Dragon Plateau inhabitable. The zone in-between the ice and the mountains is known as Oceanotopia, because it is flooded with water, but there are many paradisic tropical islands. Occasionally Dragons visit these islands, as no human lives between Dragon Plateau and Northern Ice.

Plains of Atlan: Located in the South of Dragon Plateau. The mountains between the Plains of Atlan and Dragon Plateau are the most inhabited places, as the south is where the people come from. The plains are gigantic and abundant with forests, grass, rivers, seas, caverns and hills, making it a great place to roam and visit. Many farms and agricultural sites which support the kingdom are also here. The Plains of Atlan are under the King's control.

Note to the Dragons: dragons that are mentioned to have wings have them by default. Others don't but you can add them if you want.

The Link
Like explained, the Link is a special spiritual effect that applies to random humans and elves, and a number of dragons equal to the combined one of humans and elves. The Link means that the human/elf will feel an attractive force towards the dragon he/she is linked to, and vice versa. The Link's effects on Dragon and Human/Elf have not been fully researched yet, actually there is so much that it can hardly be researched.
Abilities that The Link gives include:

-telepathy (the two sides can talk with each other on any distance, and feel what the other feels. Strong Links also allow one to see through the other's eyes, and listen to their thoughts and memories)

-share of power (the dragon and the elf/human share their energy, which they can moe around in-between them as they wish. This also means that a human that normally can't use magic can use the one of his dragon, and they can even share the elements of magic, thus allowing a dragon that has a partner that can use fire magic, but he himself can not, to use fire magic by using his partner's power)

-Mind change (the two partners can pull out each other's soul, and drag it into their own body temporarily. The partner will lose consciousness for as long as his soul is not in his body, while the two souls will share a single body. If they act in unison, for example an elf wielding a sword with both his Dragon's and his own soul in himself, the force of the attack will be equal to the elves + the dragon's, making it extremely powerful.

-Wound sharing (extremely effective in battles, a partner can "give" the wounds that he/she/it suffers to the other. This means that if a human partner gets a deep wound on his/her chest, he/she cn choose to give it to his/her dragon partner if it accepts. The wound will be little more than a scratch for the dragon in most cases)

-Various other (there are many other abilities given to an elf/human and a Dragon linked together, some are unique to the two. You can choose to invent an ability of your own, and add it to this list or your character)

Mana and Magic power
Mana is a special energy that exists everywhere in the atmosphere just like oxygen. It is rarely noticed by living beings. Elves and Dragons are born with the ability to absorb Mana into their bodies though, and humans can acquire the ability through training. Absorbing Mana is the base needed to cast spells and use magical abilities in general.
If a being absorbs Mana into its body, it automatically gets converted to one of eight "magic elements", which are a part of the being's power. An average human can have up to two, average elves and dragons three. The eight elements are: Fire, Water, Ice, Earth, Nature, Energy (like Lightning, electric energy), Light and Darkness. There is also Neutral magic power, which one can create by supressing the process of conversion. Everyone that can absorb Mana can also use magic power.
Magic can be used for various purposes, such as everyday life and combat: with Fire magic one can for example create a small flame to light a fire, or a flame pillar that burns enemies. They can also be combined if one is strong enough.
Generally elves can use magic ery precisely, but with relatively small amounts, while dragons can use a lot at once, but with less precision. Humans have difficulty at both as they are not born with the ability to use magic power, but they too can reach the skill of elven magic if they try hard enough.
