The story of Lahati and the Nightfather

 Working my butt off on Kingdom Come. Here's some of the meta-mythos:

“Once long ago, the Solonkratsu were a learned and skillful people who built great palaces and cities across the world. The greatest of the queens was here, in Vlachia. As it is with all queens, she had one name before her first successful maiden flight, and one name for after. Her maiden title was Lahati the White Frost, and she was quick and wise and beautiful, as all great queen dragons should be. She was born white as snow, with horns and claws like polished diamonds, and eyes of black fire. She grew great and sleek and fat, and no dragon buck could so much as lay a claw on her during their mating flights.”

“One day, Burna was walking the face of the world as a man, and he saw a brilliant light streak across the sky, followed at a distance by many dragons. It was Lahati and her suitors. She winnowed the air like a swallow, forever out of their reach, and the god found himself fascinated by her. He shapeshifted into a great bull dragon with stars for eyes and scales as black as pitch, and took to the air to join the mating flight. He flew as fast and as high as he could, dashing other dragons out of the air in his lust. When Lahati heard their screams, she turned to see him closing on her. The great bull caught her in the air, and in the fury of their first coupling, the god turned Lahati’s scales to obsidian, save for the white marks of his teeth on the back of her neck. The marks looked like the petals of a chrysanthemum, and so she became Lahati the Chrysanthemum Queen."

"She was the beloved mate of the Nightfather for all her days, and when she died, he wept for a day and an age, because not even the Prince of a Thousand Names could call his beloved back to life when Time took her to the grave. Wherever he pounded the earth, great craters appeared. Wherever he drew his claws, valleys and canyons were made. When he reached the end of the land, he went to his knees by the ocean and screamed Lahati’s truename, and there the Thunderstones erupted from the earth. It is said this is why the Dark God no longer walks the earth as a man or dragon, for he cannot bear to live without his queen by his side.”
