Bahamut's favorite book is actually a collection of photos and artwork from Chosen One Artists called "Dragons of Dark World" which is a united effort by 20 artists to recreate ancient art of the Dragons and even make new ones from the text and lore that could be found from the era when Man was still under the tutelage of the Dragons of Albion.
          	
          	Mostly players who took the time to use there talent for art to recreate and photograph the Dragons of Threa made most of the landscapes from the Primordial Times. When the grasslands were far few in between and the majority of Tur's landmass was embraced by a barren choatic waste where Cosmic entities and Demons would roam freely which gave the Dragons a near infinite supply of creatures to defeat and become stronger from.
          	
          	In one of the many artworks was a rendition of the long lost Vulcan Valley and under it was, inside a large tunnel was that of a Male Red Volcanic Dragon with a Female Black Dragon sitting under a cave, the light emitted by the magma flowing down from the top giving shine to an offspring, a small Black Dragon.
          	
          	Though Bahamut never made Jackson to buy it for her. But she still remembers the page perfectly.

The Birth of the current King of James marked the beginning of the so called "Golden Age of Humanity". The era of when all of the leaders of Man's states and religions are great and noble men.  
          
          Though there's still corrupt and evil heads of states, the good ones far outweighs them and with the birth of the Grand Prince of James who shattered all standards of a Royal Birth with his natural kindness, and boy scout levels of innocence in a harsh world full of politics and backhanded deals. It cemented Humanity's place in the world as a true force of nature that even made the Elven Empire hesitant to attempt anything.

Most of the Flag Descriptors I use are intentionally shorter, but if I were to put the full fledged description for example, the Flag of the Holy Kingdom of James the Conqueror, it would be:
          
          Rectangular shaped with Blue being the main color, a golden crusted shield with a Dragon on the Left and a Lion on the right holding a Royal Crown with multiple rings of Halo's that's etched and emtombed with Sapphire and Rubies and a golden large border around the corners that depicts the many Heroic battles that occurred within its regions.
          
          The Dragon depicted is not an Ancient Dragon but a Wyvern that's baring its claws in full and the Lion is of extreme detail, its eyes even having ruby colors whilst there's a 2nd golden border that goes around it depicting the inner walls of most of their cities where the Castle and Nobility usually lay while outside of it, the Royal Crown sat above even the Nobility, anointed and given only by Deus Vrax to his friend, the once small circlet is now a great Crown of many Gemstones and Jewels and it sits above everyone, even the Elite and Aristrocats.
          
          The Three Halo's that goes around the inner rectangle has the Church, Nobility, and the Common People on its rings, with the Church being the one most inside and the Nobility being the one in the middle, making both the common person and their God, Deus Vrax meet.

Elizabeth's favorite book is an ancient collection of poems called Odyssey of the Eternal Flame.
          
          An old epic about a group of dreamers made up of a Human, Dwarf, and two Elves chasing the Star that illuminates. The Human was known to be the de facto leader, the Dwarf constructed the boat under his guidance and recommendations while the two Elves chartered there path and used the stars as a compass. One of the first books to mention such navigational method in Threa.
          
          There is a legend that if one could find where the great lighting star, the Sun that gave life to Threa holds not only a fruit that contains Immortality but also wealth that the Gods left behind when they were still making the world. 
          
          The story ends in tragedy where they die in Angea in starvation after there sail boat gets hit by a terrible typhoon after barely surviving a Livyatan whale attack. The collection of poems is now mostly regulated to Monks and Scholars, with the more modern stories of Knightly heroism taking the front.

Dark World's Playerbase is made up of around 72% Asians, 12% Europeans, 10% Americans, 5% Middle Easterners and 1% Africans being the smallest percentage. Due to this, you can often find Westerners playing the game in the Morning while you can find the peak player time within at nights and weekends.
          
          Even though the vast majority of the playerbase are Asians, within the first day of the release. An insane amount of characters made were either Blonde Blue Eyed Caucasians to Teenagers with Black hair and dull colored eyes. The Gender demographic also heavily skewered on the Male side with a whopping 97% Male to the 3% Female players on its starting day.
          
          Due to this, one of the fist ever culture to grow from the Full Dive Game was distrust of hot female avatars. Many often just staying in character but not engaging further and one of the first Blogs written by the Developers were mostly about the fact that most of the playerbase in the East chose to be either Human or Elf with the most generic traits possible while the Westerners who went through the pain of setting up a VPN made more unique styles and chose the more varied Species.
          
          Though upon the next few months as things settled, new characters were made and though the majority chosen were still Human and Elf, Vampires and Werewolves came to the close third and forth with the last ones being the other Species like Slime, Half Dragon, and Reptilian. 
          
          The lowest of the playerbase chosen Species were the Demon race due to there extremely hard start being in the most dangerous Continent, made only for those who were looking for a challenge after doing it all. To present times, the entire capability of the Demon Species is yet to be fully mapped out due to there low numbers and the hostility of Locals to them with entire NPC Kingdoms sending there most Overpowered Units to even a small band of Demon players.

Elizabeth's favorite book is an ancient collection of poems called Odyssey of the Eternal Flame, an old epic about a group of dreamers made up of a Human, Dwarf, and two Elves chasing the Star that illuminates Threa in a sail boat to see if the legend that an endless pit of Gold is where the star rests is true. 
          
          It ends in tragedy where they die in Angea, in starvation after there sail boat gets hit by a terrible typhoon after barely surviving a Livyatan whale attack. Though in present time Threa, these old tragedies are no longer relevant and replaced by the wonderous stories of Human Knights and Chivalrous acts that has been achieved by them.
          
          Though many criticize the lack of Elven or Dwarven stories, Humans do not have a problem with the current flooding of the literature world of their works as they enjoy and relate to it the most and Elves themselves cannot help but see the talent in the Human brain.

Threa's highest point is Mount Harelm which sits at 9,153 meters tall inside the Elven Empire. The legend goes that this is the mountain where a multiple Gods died after becoming stricken with a cosmic curse that turned them into ancient primordial rocks that holds power capable of striking down even the toughest of Eldritch abominations that crept from the darkest pits of space. Though the Dwarves were the first to be there, mining the silver and rare metal deep inside it creating some of the best weapons and discovering heating and mending methods hundreds of years in advance. 
          
          When the Elven Kingdoms united into an Empire under the Dydares family and started there expansion. Conquering swathes of lands from the Dwarves and destroying hundreds of there tribes. The Dwarven Tribe of Harelm made a 6 Month long defense of there most grand city using the tools they've made from the metals inside the massive mountain.
          
          After a long and painful battle, it ended with a pyrrhic Elven Victory and the mines getting closed till a few hundred years later when the Empire reopened it due to the expanding infrastructure needs alongside its growing weapons economy and is still functional to this very day. Serving as the heart of the metallurgy research and mining of the Elves. It is said that the powers of the dead Gods still linger within in, and with the right tools. Can be harnessed and used. Said methods were done to create the weapon, shield, and plate armor of the Imperial Grand Prince.

It was a Elf Vampire who actually finished Elizabeth's research. A year after she got entombed, a Researcher hired by the Sect of Forrus was tasked in finishing this research to prevent the Vampires from becoming desperate again and another Royal to take the helm and do something more worse than her.
          
          Though the Alliance of the Free Peoples did make sure to put Vampires who had been able to move on from her to be put in place, they know that since they are immortal, it would be nearly impossible for them to forget of the Golden Age of Blood before, thus putting Elizabeth's long tired plan into motion again, but this time with the help of everyone. Soon, a method was made and invented, though it was a long drawn process which needed alot of effort to pull off.
          
          In the end, a new generation of Vampires, without personal experience of the age before the current one was born and there parents, slowly accepting that there time is over. Alana, Morgana, Don, Percival, and more are part of these new ones and with her having a 100% blood purity, she is the 2nd in the Kingdom to achieve this milestone. The first being from the first generation which was Morgana's.

The 851ft Tall Marble Tower of the Mages Association took 3 In-Real Life Months to construct while the planning and drawing took almost 11 Months and its the first structure in the game to be fully built by summoned NPCs.
          
          Most of it is open to the public, even the uppermost floors and its doors are open to everyone except Vampires and Werewolf players due to there tendency to fight one another and the damages caused is not worth the hassle of repairing.
          
          Its vast library is also open to players and is updated regularly as new enemies and lore is discovered though the years. 
          
          It stands as one of the most grand player built locations in the world, only next to the Royal Capital of Breznick and the forgotten Valley Fortress in the Dark Continent.

Alana's love for stories made her spent lavishly in collecting a massive library full of them that spans from all genres and came from all corners of Threa. Some of these was used by the party in their plans for the Elves though in her early years, she was more busy reading books about trading and shipping alongside botany. It was only when her parents gave her a Manor and control of the inner regions near the Capital did she start to buy books for pleasure as before, she had only read a few and all were about Vampires of the past.
          
          Her most favorite one is the story of the Hero Meilurious. "Sir Caine, Knight of the Stars." The novel and autobiography mostly delved in his early life as a young Noble in a badly stricken region that was on the verge of famine and there peasantry revolving against them to his days in University and then the military where his aptitude for Astrology Magic was discovered and became known far and wide for his natural skill for the magic art.
          
          Though he was good enough even at a young age for a well bred Noble to be a High ranking Wizard in the Magical category, he still learned to master the Sword and Shield, thus when a portal was opened in Dragovh to the great beyond, which summoned Demons from the cosmos.
          
          It was him and King James the VII that closed it. Sealing the two Kingdoms alliance and loyalty to one another. 
          
          His book also doubles as a book of economics as in his later years in life, he delved more into the science of economics and trade to ensure the farmland of his region will never have a bad harvest once again. He invented roaming Magicians to ensure Soil health and Controlled Bird Crop Dusting.
          
          He fathered 10 kids and lived to a ripe age of 92 before dying of natural causes as a Duke of the Kingless Meilurous.
          
          Though currently, the Earthling literature of "How I Became a Knight In A Medieval Country By Becoming a Good Soldier and Marrying an Elven Princess with a Vampire Maid" might take the Top 1 spot.
