Long before Duōmachāha bore its name, the lands were held together by the first Mang-po Rgyadre-tso Master. According to legend, the plateau was dominated by various warlord territories, but all were kept in check by the Mang Rgyadre master. This lost martial art native to the Duōma plateau allowed warriors trained under the Master to wield multiple weapons at once as if they had multiple sets of arms. The legendary Master was able to slow down his time perception to such a degree that he could manipulate the very fabric of the environment around him. At this, the Master wielded the Four elemental weapons of Mang Rgyadre: The Chasm Scythe, the Dual Section Thunder Sticks, the Gale Stars, and the Solar Cleaver. With command over the four elements the Mang Rgyadre Master raised the Duōma plateau from the ground and permanently bound the land together across the large flat land. Though stretching the land thin forced the warlords to settle their differences, but they only came to peace through their collective fear of the Master. The power that came with the art was condemned, and the Master hid the elemental weapons across the land. These power of these weapons is said to have formed the features of Duōmachāha surrounding the plateau. The Snow Dragon Peaks are among some of the coldest in Alshar, and their dangerous freezing temperatures are said to be spurred by the Gale Stars. The Rusani Pass of the south is known through history to be cursed with constant storms, attributed to being the resting place of the Dual Section Thunder Sticks. Lake Nongkun is said to be the resting place of the Chasm Scythe, where the scythe split the ground open and forced the surrounding rivers to flood into the newly formed valley. The resting place of the Solar Cleaver is unknown, but it is believed to be underneath the Duōma Plateau where it beckoned the high temperatures absorbed by the now shrubland. The trees of the former steppe were lowered by the calling of the sword and removed the great forests that sowed the land's former internal division. Without the unifying power of Mang Rgyadre and the Master to pass down his teachings, the new land proved foreign to the newly united people, leading to the period of debilitating famine and survivalist life that would definite the plateau and forge Duōma society. | Long before Duōmachāha bore its name, the lands were held together by the first Mang-po Rgyadre-tso Master.

While the Era of Legend | While the Era of Legend survives through folklore, the Era of Survival was chronicled by Yeshi Wangpo, an ancient Duōma philosopher and moralist. His documentation is one of few substantive sources remaining that thoroughly chronicles the foundation of Duōmachāha, though not without its limitations. The main text in which his documentation resides is known as the Pandect. The text documents various historical happenings along with stories of Wangpo's travels throughout Alshar and the morals he cultivated throughout his journey. Other available texts are used to fill in gaps in time and writing of legend, but the library of early Duōma literature remains limited into modern times. | ||
