Roughly four thousand years prior to the rise of [[Archanea (nation)|the human nation bearing the continent's name]], Archanea was dominated by an advanced and enlightened [[dragon]] civilization prior to the rise of humanity, one overseen by the wisdom of the [[Divine Dragon|divine dragons]]. The dragon civilization reigned supreme and uncontested for at least three thousand years, until the species entered a period of decline: a mysterious wave of deteriorating health struck them, rendering them infertile and slowly driving them mad. In response, the dragonkin learned that the only way to survive the condition was to take the forms of humans, and so sought to convince all dragons to do so. While some refused to accept this and eventually devolved into mindless beasts, others accepted the word of the dragon elders and took human forms, thus becoming the first [[manakete]]s.<ref>{{Cite|If you really wanna know... Tens of thousands of years ago, the dragon tribe settled down on this continent, and created a civilization. They possessed intellect and abilities far exceedin' those of humans.

In the centuries following the earth dragon war, the dragonkin's hold on Archanea rapidly diminished and Naga died, though not before leaving behind [[Falchion]] and the [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Binding Shield]] in the [[Fane of Raman]] for humanity to use in future. Human populations steadily increased as the dragonkin waned, giving rise to humanity as the dominant race of Archanea. | In the centuries following the earth dragon war, the dragonkin's hold on Archanea rapidly diminished and Naga died, though not before leaving behind [[Falchion]] and the [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Binding Shield]] in the [[Fane of Raman]] for humanity to use in future.
