			===Xanadu Speech===
			''As recorded by a Guild party on an occasion of Xanadu speaking through his statue.''

			Ah, my friend the stories I could tell you but for the Covenant. Sadly, as others take their oaths less seriously there are certain rumours and stories to be heard, but I hesitate to repeat them.

			They were glorious times before the young race ruled. We had so much energy and fire, culture and..., we raised them from their ignorance, we gave them language and civilisation..., ah, but this was all long before the fall.

			You mustn't be angry with those of my children that have chosen the dark paths, they have lost and suffered so much...

			I am forgetting myself, it is so tiring, to remember... of course, they have suffered too, with their dark cousins..., hmmmmm... my thoughts range, but many lands are alien to me now...

			Your people are but children, scratching at the surface of the mysteries of the cosmos, and you must understand that much of what we will not speak of, we do not do to deny, but to protect...hmmm, I have said too much...

			It is time to sleep, to sleep perc...(draconic chuckles ending in loud snores...)

Xanadu, ''The Dragon Father'' is a god and was creator of the Dragons, the first mortal race.

Some legends claim that in the days before time, before there was a mortal realm, and the gods warred amongst themselves, that it was Xanadu who proposed a peace, and brought to an end their feuding, and that for this Xanadu was granted the honour of creating the first mortals.

Whether or not the legend is true, it is known that the first mortals upon Alusia were the [[Ancient Dragons|ancient dragons]], eight mated pairs created by Xanadu, and that their descendants, although now much lessened in stature and power, exist on Alusia into the present time.

Xanadu no longer appears to be worshipped on Alusia in any formal sense, although some of his children's descendants still venerate him, and a Guild member, [[Axis Dragonmage]], holds the position of his herald.

There is one known [[Temple of Xanadu]], which lies in a swamp near Carzala (Caves in [[Swithan's Cove]] area -- Suarime population. See link for exact locale.). Until 802 WK there were 13 great statues in the temple; 12 attendants, and one of Xanadu himself, through which he has on occassion spoken with mortals. When a Guild party returned to Alusia with the spirits of the ancient dragons who had departed aeons earlier, these spirits inhabited the 12 attendant statues and disappeared from the mortal realms along with [[Baal]].

With so few of Xanadu's children left in the mortal realms it may be that his interest in Alusia will wane further.
