Proposed value
The extinction was not the end of what the Five did. In the year after their ascension they tore wounds through Yoori, the magic of collective belief, and used them to suppress all memory of dragon origins and of the rite itself across every people in the world. The Great Forgetting ran in phases for twelve hundred years: suppression first, then a replacement narrative in which the Fírâî sent visions recasting dragons as false ancestors punished for hubris, then the loss of what evidence scholars had managed to gather, and finally a settled forgetting comfortable enough that nobody thought to question it.
By its end dragons had become pure myth on every continent, and the three Dovagoraan peoples had emerged from hibernation with no knowledge of their own draconic heritage, worshipping the killers of their kind as echo-gods born of a cataclysm nobody could name. This is the act that makes the pantheon's private name for itself exact: the first crime killed a kind, the second denied that the kind had ever lived. The wounds were never closed. They are maintained still, and the maintenance has become the pantheon's true structure.
