The Draco'Asmo (Sero's Dragons) are the immortal dragon army that followed Sero the Rus in his rebellion against ElohYahRuosh over 2,000 years ago. Rather than being destroyed or banished, they have been building their strength on the Japer (the gas giant that Arondor orbits) while systematically preparing for an inevitable return to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs.
Overview
The Draco'Asmo represent the single greatest existential threat to all life on Arondor. Originally created as divine servants, their rebellion against ElohYahRuosh transformed them into a coordinated force of supernatural malevolence. For over two millennia, they have been contained on the Japer while developing advanced military doctrine, technological capabilities, and strategic intelligence about their enemies.
Primary Characteristics:
- Immortal dragons with millennia of accumulated power
- Advanced magical and technological capabilities
- Unified military hierarchy under Sero the Rus
- Strategic patience spanning thousands of years
- Direct connection to draconian hybrid populations
Origins and Rebellion
The Original Divine Nature
Before their corruption, the Draco'Asmo possessed characteristics that made them formidable servants of creation:
Divine Creation: Originally designed as servants of ElohYahRuosh with specific cosmic roles as Melikah
Massive Intelligence: Centuries of accumulated knowledge and strategic thinking
Elemental Mastery: Natural control over fire, storm, earth, and shadow elements
Immortal Perspective: Capability to plan and execute strategies spanning millennia
The Corruption Process
Sero's rebellion fundamentally altered the dragons' nature and purpose:
Enhanced Pride: Developed belief in their superiority over all other creation
Twisted Purpose: Transformation from servants into would-be rulers of reality
Amplified Power: Rebellion paradoxically strengthened their magical abilities
Eternal Grudge: Burning hatred for those who remained loyal to divine authority
The Japer: Fortress World of Hell

The Draconian Connection
Reyuma's Tragic Legacy
When Reyuma mated with the Draco'Asmo in her grief and rage over Malik's death, she inadvertently provided the dragons with unprecedented strategic advantages:
Strategic Benefits for Dragons:
- Mainland Agents: Draconians capable of infiltrating human society undetected
- Intelligence Network: Comprehensive information gathering about human capabilities
- Forward Bases: Draconian settlements providing invasion staging areas
- Hybrid Vigor: Combination of dragon power with human adaptability and cunning
The Mother's Curse
Reyuma's current state as a being of eternal decay serves multiple draconian purposes:
Propaganda Tool: Evidence presented as "proof" of ElohYahRuosh's supposed cruelty
Strategic Asset: Her presence weakens divine influence in areas she visits
Psychological Warfare: Her suffering demoralizes human forces and divine loyalists
Recent Activity and Preparation
The 300-Year Military Buildup
As the Fourth Age approaches, dragon activity has dramatically intensified across multiple fronts:
Military Preparation:
- War Games: Large-scale aerial combat exercises involving thousands of dragons
- Weapons Development: Advanced draconian technology and enhanced magical weapons
- Intelligence Gathering: Systematic mapping of human defensive capabilities
- Alliance Coordination: Strategic planning with draconian populations on Arondor
Probing Operations:
- Border Incursions: Testing the Immortal Knights' barrier strength and response
- Reconnaissance Flights: Dragons conducting surveillance of human military installations
- Psychological Operations: Spreading fear and establishing dragon-cult religions
- Resource Raids: Systematic theft of orificium and other magical materials
Strategic Positioning:
- Orbital Mechanics: Utilizing Japer's gravitational influence for tactical advantages
- Weather Control: Environmental manipulation through coordinated draconian magic
- Communication Networks: Establishing coordination with agents throughout Arondor
- Invasion Planning: Detailed conquest strategies for every major human settlement
The Barrier System
Divine Containment Mechanisms
The Twelve Immortal Knights maintain a sophisticated barrier system with multiple functions:
Invasion Prevention:
- Spiritual Ward: Makes large-scale teleportation from Japer impossible
- Portal Blocking: Prevents direct dimensional travel between realms
- Flight Interference: Disrupts long-distance dragon flight patterns
- Communication Jamming: Limits coordination between Japer and mainland forces
Intelligence Concealment:
- Observation Shielding: Prevents dragons from accurately assessing human capabilities
- Scrying Blocks: Limits magical surveillance of human military activities
- Information Gaps: Forces dragons to rely on incomplete intelligence
- Strategic Blindness: Prevents optimal invasion timing calculations
Critical Vulnerability
Barrier Degradation: As the Immortal Knights approach their divinely appointed release, the containment system becomes progressively less effective, allowing increased dragon activity and reconnaissance.
The Coming Storm
Barrier Collapse Scenario
When the Twelve Immortal Knights transform into stone monuments following Jeshua's resurrection, the containment system will fail completely:
Immediate Consequences:
- Portal Storm: Massive dimensional rifts opening between Japer and Arondor
- Dragon Invasion: Full-scale aerial assault by thousands of Draco'Asmo
- Coordinated Attack: Perfect timing with draconian ground forces
- Human Shock: Complete surprise due to centuries of believing dragons were contained
Strategic Dragon Advantages
Overwhelming Superiority:
- Millennial Planning: Every aspect of invasion strategy prepared over 2,000 years
- Complete Intelligence: Comprehensive knowledge of human capabilities and weaknesses
- Unified Command: Single military hierarchy under Sero's absolute authority
- Technological Superiority: Advanced weapons and magical capabilities
- Aerial Dominance: Humans possess no effective anti-dragon warfare capabilities
Divine Intervention Necessity
Jeshua's Critical Role: Only divine intervention through Jeshua's resurrection power can counter the initial dragon assault, providing essential time for:
- Human military organization and coordination
- Civilian refugee evacuation from target areas
- Defensive preparation and fortification
- International alliance building against common threat
Without immediate divine intervention, strategic analysis indicates dragon invasion would achieve total victory within weeks.
Dragon Philosophy: The Great Deception
Sero's Ideological Framework
The Draco'Asmo operate under a systematically corrupted worldview that justifies their rebellion:
Core Beliefs:
- Freedom Through Power: Physical and magical strength should determine rulership
- Merit-Based Reality: The strong possess natural rights to dominate the weak
- Evolutionary Superiority: Dragons represent the pinnacle of created beings
- Divine Hypocrisy: ElohYahRuosh's mercy represents weakness rather than strength
Recruitment and Corruption Strategies
Human Corruption Tactics:
- Individual Power: Offers of magical abilities and enhanced personal strength
- Social Dominance: Promises of authority and control over other humans
- Immortality Deception: False claims about transcending natural death
- Intellectual Pride: Appeals to human desire for forbidden knowledge and understanding
Fundamental Self-Deception
Denied Truths:
- Sero's Jealousy: The rebellion originated from envy rather than principled justice
- Corruption's Cost: Enhanced power achieved through spiritual degradation
- Ultimate Defeat: The rebellion's inevitable failure against divine authority
- Love vs. Power: Choosing dominance over relationship as fundamental error
Threat Assessment
Combined Threat Factors
The Draco'Asmo represent pure spiritual warfare manifested in physical form:
Ancient Cunning: Thousands of years of strategic planning and tactical development
Overwhelming Power: Individual dragons capable of destroying entire human armies
Perfect Coordination: Unified command structure under absolute central authority
Absolute Motivation: Total commitment to Sero's cause transcending normal limitations
Strategic Patience: Willingness to wait millennia for optimal striking conditions
Existential Implications
When the Draco'Asmo finally launch their assault, the conflict will transcend mere military invasion—it will represent the forces of hell literally breaking loose upon Arondor, requiring not just human courage but divine intervention to prevent the complete destruction of all creation.
Historical Significance
Role in Cosmic Conflict
The Draco'Asmo's existence and eventual invasion represent a crucial element in the cosmic struggle between divine love and rebellious power, with their defeat necessary for the ultimate restoration of proper order to creation.
Impact on Fourth Age Events
The timing of their assault immediately following Jeshua's resurrection demonstrates the strategic coordination between earthly and cosmic conflicts, with the dragon invasion serving as the ultimate test of restored divine-human cooperation.
