=== Informationen, was zur Zeit der Regentschaft des Ordens und der dunklen Kriege geschah können in der Hintergrundgeschichte zum PC Spiel nachgelesen werden, die man hier findet. ===

- 1 bis - 590 Jahre: The fallen age (summary of info found in the games) Soon after the Dark Wars ended, an alien race called the Desert Lords invaded Drakan and bands of thieves and criminals destroyed the last remnants of civilization as it was known. The world plunged into lawless chaos further troubled by the invasion of the Desert Lords. The Order and all its bonded were now gone, the Mother of Dragons sending the last of the unbonded Dragons of the Elder Breed into eternal sleep, supposedly never again to return. Life in Drakan became harsh and only the strongest survived. Many humans were eventually forced to live like animals, hiding in caves away from the Desert Lords. Feral dragonlike creatures known as 'blackwings' and 'crow dragons' roamed the skies of Drakan making travelling difficult. These untamed creatures were never part of the Order and are not part of the Elder Breed but are referred to as 'Dragons' by the people of Drakan. Only the oldest generations had seen the Elder Breed of dragons...

- 1 Jahre: Navaros returns: Tired of the Desert Lords, the race of Succubi planned to try and defeat their enemy once and for all. They set about bringing Navaros back into the world by using a magical element called Grimstone to create a gate to breach the fabric of space between Drakan and the rift dimension. Navaros however had his own plans; once he was free he would take the world as his but to do this he would need the Runeblade once used by Heron and Arokh to expel him to the rift almost 600 years ago. As for the human population of Drakan, only one city and its surrounding district remained - Surdana, the district in which Rynn's village resides...

- Jahr 0: Drakan 1 and 2 – In case you haven't played the first game, this is where Rynn finds and bonds with Arokh and eventually goes on to destroy Navaros. She and Arokh successfully managed to destroy him for good but it came at a price - the death of her brother, Delon who was possessed by Navaros to serve as a new body for him. The rift was closed forever afterwards and the Runeblade, retrieved and reunited with its rift crystal was destroyed to prevent anyone from reopening the rift.

+ 1 Jahre: Search for Arokh (level) Since the defeat of the Dark Union, Rynn and Arokh have been travelling the world hunting down the last remnants of Navaros's armies. They have not been home for a long time and sleep either in farmhouses belonging to farmers who's lands they have protected or out in the wilderness. One day, Arokh is missing and Rynn suspects he has been captured and sets out to find him.

+ 5 Jahre 3 Monate: Valley of Storn (level) – A powerful death mage had found the grave of an ancient dragon and subsequently awakened it. Arokh got to know of this winged horror and with Rynn’s help, he sets off to destroy it.

+ 5 Jahre 6 Monate: Anwynn (level) – Scattered remnants of the Dark Union have returned and started to terrorise a small community. Their leader has been conducting strange genetics creating new enemies from the dead remains of the Dark Union's armies. Rynn and Arokh are called upon to put a stop to it all.

+ 7 Jahre: Mnar along the river Ai (level) – Arokh has been captured and taken away to the land of Mnar to be possessed by a powerful necromancer. Rynn is near the land of Anwynn when he is taken and she goes to visit the wizard she spoke to some time ago which was when she was called upon to put a stop to the remnants of The Bringer's army terrorising a small community. 

+ 7 Jahre 2 Tage: Southern Isles (level) Now that Rynn had rescued Arokh, they continued to try and find out more about this new enemy, and were eventually led to a small kingdom deep in the islands of the southern sea. There they met the local population who told them about strange creatures roaming around at night and other strange happenings. Rynn and Arokh set off to investigate but soon end up trouble...

Hier mal noch eine Auflistung weiterer Fangeschichten rund um das wunderbare Drakan Universum. Allerdings alle nur in englischer Sprache...

Beginnings by Firetalon (HTML) 

A medium length story set hundreds if not thousands of years before the Order of the Flame. Its about a band of men who tire of the local Dragon population and start a fight with them. There are a few tense moments in this tale which makes enjoyable reading. This is one of my favourites.

Arokh the Dragon by Arokh  (Rich Text)

A short tale set about 180 years after the order was formed. Its about Heron who accidentally finds the Dragonstone which was stolen some years ago. A lone tribe of dragons, not yet part of the Order visits Heron's village to try and take it back to its rightful place. 

Uniting of Heroes by Arokh's Twin (Rich Text)  

A medium length story about the meeting of Heron and Arokh which led to friendship and eventually bonding. This was originally written for the Surreal-news lore contest but I didn't have time to enter it.

A Tale of Dragons by multiple authors (HTML)

This story was originally on the Surreal-news forums. It was an ongoing story project, contributed to by anyone who wanted to write a section or two. The story was eventually drawn to a close and after some time it was put on this site. It has been edited slightly for continuity errors and to remove a few contradictions. A Tale of Dragons is set some time after the PC game ended and centres around Rynn and Arokh continuing to battle the Dark union reborn.

Drakan2: The fan fiction by Shadow of Light (Rich Text)

This is a fantastic 3 chapter story, by far the best fan fiction so far; its very well written as Shadow of Light is a professional writer. As you might of guessed its her version of what happened after the PC game and it is a direct continuation. This story is awesome!

The Darion trilogy part 1 by Assassin (Rich Text)

This is the first in a trilogy of stories by Assassin. This one is about Darion, a war hero who joins the Order just before Navaros began the Dark wars. The story spans the 3 year war between the Order and the Dark Union in which both were destroyed.

The Darion trilogy part 2 by Assassin (Rich Text)  

The continuation of the series. This is set just after Rynn and Arokh had defeated Navaros in the rift. I won't tell you what happens as it may give the ending away of the above story. 

The Darion Trilogy part 3 by Assassin (Rich Text)  

The third part in the series which draws to the final conclusion, its the direct sequel to the story above.

Dortenne: A beginning and an end by Assassin (Rich Text)  

This story centres around an assassin who joins the Order of the Flame just as the Dark Wars were starting which was around 600 years before Rynn's time. 

Dortenne: Heroes Needed by Assassin (Rich Text)  

The sequel to Dortenne: A beginning and an end, it continues where the other story left off.

Changetime by Assassin (Rich Text)

A medium length story set just before the Order of the Flame was established - the time in Drakan's history when the warring races of Dragon and Man were finally beginning to cooperate with each other.

Encounter by Assassin (Rich Text)

Another story by Assassin, this one is a mixture of sci-fi and fantasy which is set in the world of Drakan around the time the Order of the Flame was established. The storyline is a bit strange but it could possibly fit in with the rest of Drakan's backstory depending on how you perceive it.

Night and Day by Assassin (Rich Text)

A story set approximately 6 months before Navaros's betrayal and spans the same period, this is about an exiled noble who finds new allies and vows revenge on those who exiled him.

Eternity by Assassin (Rich Text)

This story is actually a prequel to Night and Day and follows one of the characters from the aforementioned story. The story overlaps part of the above storyline but does not contradict anything.
