They were called Drake, our eyes were terrible beasts. One of our most ancient fables mentions these monstrosities, at night, frightening the children who misbehave with furious anger and bloodlust from these monsters.
We quickly learned to hide from them, using natural enclave to keep their eyes away from us. Yet, we have lost thousands of our people, while other creatures have been destroyed under their relentless attacks.(http://www.aionkinah.org)
Others, like the Mau, and Krall, were enslaved by the Drake; only keeps them alive for their brute force may be used against our enemies.
The Draken, were sent by Aion to be met in Atreia rules, while they increased in number, the greater their confidence. However, his lust for power grew, they gradually forgot his real mission, and to his God. Our stories relate a particular day, when something changed in the Draken. Suddenly they were more organized, and some of them dominate the rest. Later we learned that these draken were called 'awakening', and it was during this time that their new masters, the five Lords Dragon, renamed their descendants with the name that we know now, the Balaur.
When our ancestors first saw the Balaur, thought they were a new species, because their physical appearance and abilities were very different. Only after their first attacks recognized the brutality of his assailants, and his incessant desire to extinguish life, the truth appeared to our ancestors: These creatures, which had apparently received the blessing of Aion, were the same monsters as before brutally annihilated race after race in the world of Atreia.

The Balaur had completely forgotten their mission, arrogant, greedy and demanded more power than it could provide Aion. Aion was refused, threatened by the possible consequences of possessing a destructive power as scary, like that our benevolent creator. His powers were suppressed by Aion, the Balaur disowned their God. And they went ahead with its themes of war and threatening the very Tower of Eternity.
