History

Here we have created a time line representing the history of the Dragon Kingdoms. The events of this Time line are centered around the events as chronicled in the historical text of "Spyro the Dragon". The plan of Gnasty Gnorc to crystallize the entire Dragon population leading to the rise of the greatest hero of the Dragon Kingdoms, Spyro, has got to be the most significant historical event since The Banishment which had been all but forgotten until recently. We will number the year of these events '0' (Zero) and all events prior will be referred to as 'BC' which stands for "Before Crystallisation". All events following will be called 'AG' representing "After Gnasty". This system will be maintained even though rumors abound that Gnasty Gnorc still lives.

BC - Before Crystallisation

AG - After Gnasty

c - circa = about


c3000 BC The Dragon race is born.

2500 BC Sorceress Born

c2000 BC - The Time of Legend?

A New Beginning
The Eternal Night

c1000 BC - The Banishment, The Sorceress throws all the Dragons out of what are now called 'The Forgotten Worlds'. They are banished to the other side of the worlds. An inhospitable place populated by gnorcs. With help from the fairies they make peace with the gnorcs and establish the 6 Dragon worlds.

700 BC Red exiled from the Dragon Elder's Order

300 BC Gnasty Gnorc born.

22 BC - The Year Of The Dragon in which Spyro's egg may have been delivered by the fairies, but for some reason Spyro's egg was not counted as being received and disappered without anyone noticing

c15 BC - The Professor purchases a ancient book that tells him the location of the legendary Dragon Worlds. Using the information in this book he travels to 'The Forgotten Worlds'. There he finds no dragons but discovers a small realm connected to Midnight Mountain. On an island he builds a lab which becomes his temporary home. Knowing that the local Sorceress is not to be trusted he raises and trains one of the monkeys on the island to protect the lab and the people of 'The Forgotten Worlds'. He names this monkey Agent 9. As it turns out Agent 9 is not native to the island but is actually one of a race of space monkeys that travel the universe. How he got on the island is not known but it may explain how he was so easily trained in the use of a laser blaster. Eventually The Professor discovers a way to Avalar and leaves Agent 9 in charge of the lab.

Sparx hatches into his larvae stage and crawls on Spyro's egg and describes the world outside to spyro (DNN). Sparx enters a pupa stage which looks like an egg with wings. (this assumes Dragonflies in the Spyro Universe have a different life cycle than those in our world)

12 BC - Spyro and Sparx'(in Pupa Stage) eggs where found by the Dragons in the possession of two thieves. It is uncertain where their eggs came from for there was no record of any missing eggs and none of the Dragons recognized them but mistakes have been known to happen. Both hatched shortly after they where found.

Spyro rescues Sparx from a bird. They were best of friends ever since.

10 BC - Another Year Of The Dragon - Every twelve years, the Dragon Kingdom celebrates its most important event: the "Year of the Dragon" Festival. Fairies deliver a new batch of dragon eggs and dragons come from all around to dance and feast until everyone drops from...eggahaustion. A little know secret is that spells are cast on twelve of the new eggs to keep them from hatching until the next Year of the Dragon. Then these eggs are hidden away so that in the event of a horrific tragedy the dragon race would survive.

1 AG - Ripto's Rage One rainy day Spyro and Sparx decide to go on a vacation to Dragon Shores. Just as they run through the portal the Professor in avalar is trying to summon a Dragon to Help them take care of Ripto. This experiment redirects the Dragon Shores portal to Glimmer.

A new batch of Dragon eggs is delivered to the Dragon Worlds

2 AG - Year of the Dragon, Return to the Dragon Home the Sorceress in the Forgotten Realms sends her apprentice, Bianca, and a small company of Rhynocs into the Dragon worlds to steal the Dragon Eggs.

Enter the Dragonfly Following the defeat of the Sorceress the second part of the Year of the Dragon celebration begins. The part where each new Dragon is matched up with a dragonfly companion. The party is crashed by Ripto.

Spyro, Hunter and Bianca go to Dragon shores.

After the return of the Dragon Eggs and the rescue of the Dragonflies, many of Spyro's friends found or built homes in the area of Dragon Shores

3 AG - Season of Ice - After the defeat of the Sorcerous Grendor the Rhynoc, who was once a minion of the Sorceress took a job at the Grand Central Dragon Realms Library (a branch of the Fairy Library).

After researching vaction spots, Bianca left the Sorceress' spell book in the library. Grendor found the book, and not noticing it was upside down, cast a tranformation spell which gave him bulk and brainpower in the form of two heads, each suffering from a massive migraine. The only cure he could find in the book was the wings of 200 fairies. Grendor capyured Zoe and cast an ice spell on all the fairies in the fairy realms. However Zoe was able to use her magic to send a message to her friends.

Spyro is captured by the Fairy Queen and forced to help her weird minions get dressed for a ball. The Fairy Queen and her friends were probably under one of Grendor's Spells at the time.

Spyro, Hunter and Bianca enjoy a much needed vacation.

Season of Flame

4 AG Attack of the Rhynocs

Ripto Quest

5 AG A Hero's Tail

The Cortex Conspiracy and Ripto's Rampage

When Velo abducted Crash and Cortex from their world He also captured Spyro from the Dragon Realms but kept him locked up. When Crash defeated Velo he unlocked Spyro and they had a few races just for the fun of it before they returned to their homes.

The Evil Twins Steal all the treasure in the Dragon Grand Treasury and transport it to a locked room in their fortress in the Tenth Dimension. When they realize they also transported Spyro, who was inspecting the treasury at the time, they decide to leave it locked until a way to eliminate Spyro can be found.

When they realize Crash Bandicoot is not going to give up easily they see a possible solution to their dragon problem. One of the twins pretends to accidently reveal to Crash and Cortex that they have "great riches" in hopes that that he will seek them out. They hope that the dragon will defeat the bandicoot or the vice versa and the one left over will be no trouble after being wounded in the battle.

When Crash Unlocks the treasure room he finds that N-tropy, N-brio and N-gin got there first. Spyro sneaks out from behind a pile of gems and toasts them while they are arguing with Crash and the Cortexes(Neo and Nina). Of course Crash and The Cortexes know better than to mess with a dragon guarding a treasure because they read all the right books.

While Crash continues on his Quest, Spyro finds one of the Twins' interdimensional transportation thingys and gets himself and the treasure back to the Dragon Realms
