#the eroticism of being an elder dragon champion: the AU

[eparch]

AU brainworms, Tyria with Elder Dragons always awake and as religions

Zhaitan reigns over the island continent of Orr, where humans first appeared thousands of years ago—and where they remain as Zhaitan's faithful chosen, officially forbidden to sail away save for a select few given the dragon's blessing. Though their old gods arrived with them, they were chased out of Tyria by the four great Elder Dragons. Since then, all of Zhaitan's champions—as high priests of the Elder Dragons are called—have been human, the latest of which is one with a curious love for the sea and a desire to roam further than he is allowed.

Mordremoth reigns over the entire Maguuma, which he keeps too hostile for most races to encroach upon. Hylek and centaurs live on the edges of the Maguuma, though the Itzel and Nuhoch have successfully maintained their villages for hundreds of years under the jungle's watchful eye. When Mordremoth caught what he assumed was a human spy stealing a seed from him, he intentionally set out to create the Sylvari to serve him, embedding within them a natural hatred for Zhaitan's Risen, and taking the eldest of them as his champion.

Jormag reigns over the Far Shiverpeaks from a distance, allowing the Spirits of the Wild authority over the mortal matters of the Norn living under them. They appear only to choose their champion. Many petition them for the chance at the role, and just as many are chosen, only to swiftly lose their favor and interest. In the past few centuries, the Asura have ventured north to seek Jormag's aid in dealing with the monsters known as Destroyers which displaced them from their underground homes, a request that Jormag has been strangely eager to fulfill. Their latest champion who has yet to be replaced, strangely enough, is a young Charr...

Kralkatorrik controls the rest of the mainland that stretches between the Maguuma and the Blazeridges, though it is rare that he interacts with mortals. Still, majority of Tyria default to his worship, led by the Dragon Oracle, her children, and a handful of Forgotten in the former's lair near the Crystal Desert.

To the distant south, Soo-Won watches over an unnamed land, disallowing any of her children's followers to venture to it, where lesser dragons roam free alongside the tengu and naga.

And beneath Tyria, Primordus lurks, reviled in Icebrood teachings as the source of the evil Destroyers that spread only chaos and destruction. Little is known about this dragon...until the day a certain Norn develops a strange connection to the Destroyers, causing them to flock to him and take him to their creator, where he discovers he has been chosen as champion and must now build for Primordus his first temple.

Spoilers the AU is actually an excuse to write PrimoBraham but then the ideas got out of hand
