Welcome to THE BLACK DOGS OF UGAUL!
This is a community world building project which I have decided to form about…five minutes ago. What are the black dogs? Just what is the land of Ugaul like? Thats something we're going to have to find out!
THE (vague) RULES:
1. All playable races exist in this world. Don't commit genocide just because you've have problems with halflings in the past!
2. Only three concepts/facts can be introduced per post. Try to leave them open ended until we get a few pages in. There is no word limit however, write as much as you like.
3. Anyone can add to/expand on a fact. No one "owns" any part of the world.
I'll begin simply:
Three Primordial Gods formed the world from the corpse of their parent.
These Gods created nine godly children (3 Lawful, 3 Neutral, 3 Chaotic).
The first age of recorded history is known as the Age of Worms.
A final note, if you don't have anything to post, just type THE BLACK DOGS OF UGAUL! Bold, italicise, underline and increase font size at your discretion.

My second post was as follows:
The Age of Worms refers to the ancient "maggots of the earth", massive miles long magmaric proto-dragons that burst forth long before any mortal races were crafted by the Gods. This age ended when the Gods worked together to cover the world in sheets of ice, slaying the majority of the colossal beasts. Those that survived transformed into the ancestors of the modern chromatic dragons and lesser dragon-kind.
The second age was the Age of Stillness, an unnumbered time of wind and ice, in this time the first giants were carved from ice.
The people of Ugaul live in large extended clans, often covering the routes of nomadic bands, five or more towns and a capital city, and are led by a monarch (king or queen), a high priest of the preferred local god and a sorcerous Black Dog. In many cases the Black Dogs are the power behind the throne.
