In antiquity, Archanea was the epicenter of an advanced dragon civilization prior to the rise of humanity, until 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 many (including almost all [[earth dragon]]s) refused to accept this and eventually devolved into mindless beasts, others accepted the word of the dragon elders and took human forms, thus becoming Manaketes.<ref>{{Cite|If you really wanna know...

In the following millennia as humans became the dominant power over the Archanean continent, Manaketes became the target of racism from humans in an exercise of their new-found power over the land. In their weak humanoid forms, the Manaketes were easily abused and mistreated, and were condemned to living in poverty. This ultimately led to the rise of the Manakete ruler [[Medeus]] and his [[Dolhr]] Empire, which sought to exact vengeance upon humanity for their crimes against the Manaketes and to retake Archanea as the Manaketes' land.<ref>{{Cite| Y'see, I don't like humans.

Medeus, an Earth Dragon prince, was the only one of his tribe who become a Manakete. And, as ordered by Naga, he guarded the Dragon Altar. But the once peaceful human race, drunk with power, began to rule with tyranny. They oppressed the dragons who had done nothin' wrong. Furious at their betrayal by humans, the Manaketes gathered in Dolhr, and they created a nation for their people. Then they fought to conquer humanity.|Xane|New Mystery of the Emblem}}</ref> Although he succeeded in ruling the world for two periods of time adding up to several decades, Medeus was thrice thwarted and killed: first by [[Anri]], then twice more by his descendant, the Hero-King [[Marth]]. One Manakete ally to Marth, [[Bantu]], believed that his role was to broker a lasting peace and understanding between the two races. | ||

In the era of [[Chrom]] of [[Ylisse]], Manaketes continued to exist, but little is known of what social presence they may or may not have held, other than that they are regarded as rare and mythical entities.<ref>{{Cite|By the gods, she's a manakete...
