The Slormandalyvr Universe (in draconic: “The Worlds of Frozen Fire”) was created when the two ancient dragons Va’alkaraanas and Maz’dovonixyr brought together their breaths to create and orb of Frozen Fire. This, in turn, let to the Tearing of the Void and the Founding of the Havens, when chunks of this orb ripped at the walls of the kai’mai and sucked anything in its wake out beyond the emptiness. The Starstriders – men and women who possess the ability to traverse the kai’mai and visit the many planets that make up the universe – have counted at least 10 habitable worlds, though there are likely more yet to be documented.

The planet of Slormandalyvr itself is the largest of the known worlds that make up the universe, as it was from this original orb of frozen fire that the broken pieces originate. It is the one that became Maz’dovonixyr’s grave, her body making up the Pangea before it was shattered into the many continents seen today. Consequently, it is the one with the most recorded dragons - for dragonkind will always be here to watch over their mother and purge those living beings who reside on the orb’s surface from harming their mother too much. 

The other known planets that make up the universe are:
Alataxia
Arakhekh
Cantrael
Gharnaethin
Hjeimejaal
Miri Erali
K’osso
Tellaris
Yanavaria
Zaran D’haarinth

Strangely, these worlds are not uniformed. Some have multiple moons; others have beautiful rings. K'osso has another planet almost touching the habitable one, whilst Arakhekh is made of one entire desert and Hjeimejaal – with only a small frozen sun – is a vast glacier where life has somehow thrived. 

I yearn to hear more about these worlds from the Starstriders. As we know very well, there are as many races as there are breeds of dragon, if not more! How did these strange people learn to traverse the kai’mai to mix on these habitable planets? There were not always elves on Yanavaria, for instance. When did they arrive? How? Why, also, does Cantrael only have humans upon it? Why have the gasig or the mau’itt or the dwarves not travelled to that pocket of the universe?
