Excerpt: Book of the gods
Chapter 1: Dragon God Levathan

“As with the coming of all the gods, Levathan was unknown to us prior to his coming. However he is perhaps more of a mystery then the gods of the other tribes, as he proclaimed himself the Dragon god. We were ignorant of the creature known as the Dragon, until he bestowed upon our eyes the ghostly image of a dragon in the skies of our village, one night.
He raised his arm above his head and a holy light shot forth from his hand, then a massive ghostly beat appeared in the sky; its giant wings of bone and skin blocking out the stars, its sinuous body, sleek and scaled and its head, spiked with glowing eyes and mouth full of sharp teeth.
The God Levathan then bestowed upon us the tale of this creature; of its nobility, power and its wisdom. That it was no mere animal but a being greater than that of us lowly creatures.
The God Levathan proclaimed to us, that we would one day become such as the dragon, for he will take us under his wings, and guide us to embody the nobility of the dragons. That he would bestow upon us the power of the dragons. That he would teach us the wisdom of the dragons. And that one day, our decedents will ascend to the skies on wings of their own, be dragons!”

Report 1:
As seen above, the natives have accepted me as their god, considering all I used were a few force techniques and holo-projector with the image of an Arkanian Dragon; it truly reinforces the fact that these natives are indeed very primitive. In order to solidify my position to future generations, I have encouraged them to create a book of knowledge concerning myself and the other members of Inmortuae. Essentially founding a formal pantheon to facilitate better rations with the other tribes, and quash old grievances and feuds, Which would be a waste of resources and slow down the progress of my research; after all injuries and deaths reduce overall quality and quantity of specimens.
As for my choice of Dragon God; I recalled a tale from my childhood on Arkania, about such creatures, I was always fascinated by them. I consider their extinction a great loss. Thus I have endeavored to bring them back in a spiritual sense.
I have hypothesized that the Arkanian Dragons went extinct, in part due to their semi-sentience. Perhaps they would have fared better if they were fully sentient. Thus I will utilize this primitive sentient tribe, and Alchemy to slowly evolve them into a sentient race of dragons. As well as evolve their sense of wisdom and level of education.
This will be less of a challenge and more of a hobby, as I can foresee myself enjoying this effort, even the effort of keeping the Dark Side elements out of the alchemy should prove an enjoyable challenge.
However the greater challenge will be keeping this tribe safe from the inevitable influences of my Dark Side brethren, this would be more akin to dancing on a blades edge. I shall have to adapt each case as it presents itself.

In conclusion, my ultimate hope is to create a civilization of creatures that embody the legends of the Dragons; nobility, overwhelming strength and perseverance, wisdom and knowledge.
Barring that, at least I’ll be able to create powerful and somewhat intelligent war mounts. After all, In my book am armored/equipped dragon beats a speeder or an atmospheric fighter any day.
