	Formed during times of discontent and poverty within the [[Empire of the Seven Pointed Star]], Sh'kial began his religious movement in the [[Wyvern Mountain]]s of [[Ilithi]]. He brought with him the idea that a dragon ~~sustained~~ by ~~life~~ ~~energy~~, or ~~inner~~ ~~fire~~ ~~rested~~ ~~within~~ ~~the~~ ~~heart~~ of ~~our~~ ~~world~~.		Formed during times of discontent and poverty within the [[Empire of the Seven Pointed Star]], Sh'kial began his religious movement in the [[Wyvern Mountain]]s of [[Ilithi]]. He brought with him the idea that the dragon that dwells within the heart of their very world could, through devotion and worship, be controlled and prevented from destroying Elanthia.

	He taught that the [[World Dragon]] should be appeased and pacified through worship and existential offerings. The sacrifices and rituals performed in its honor would allow the temperamental personality to be controlled and if appeased, the Dragon would cease its rumblings and a golden age of Peace could be achieved. In the corrupt times they lived in, the teachings of Sh'kial's sect were influential and popular among the S'Kra Mur and their beliefs spread far and wide, as evidenced by the Temple of the World Dragon in Muspar'i.

His protege, Dzree diverted from his teachings and began expressing her desire to sacrifice Humans, Elves, and sometimes other S'Kra Mur to the World Dragon. By the time Sh'Kial learned of this, very few remained that were loyal to his ideals, and when he spoke out, he was named a heretic. His death is often attributed to Dzree, but it was in fact a student of Dzree's that killed Sh'kial as he was bending to pick up a babe from a cradle in 205 [[BL]], beginning the decline of the sect of Sh'kial as they folded into secrecy beneath the crushing wave that Dzree's Sect became.
