Where Legends Become Eternal
Drakorix Chronicles is an encyclopedia of the world’s myths — its gods, spirits, heroes and creatures. From Greek cosmology to Hindu epics, Norse sagas to Mesopotamian creation myths, and from the great pantheons down to the village spirits, river guardians and graveyard demons that rarely reach the textbooks, we preserve these stories with the gravity they deserve.
Each entry is a chronicle: a long-form portrait of one being, telling who or what it is, where its story comes from, how it was worshipped or feared, and how its image changed as the story travelled.
Our Mission
Every myth carries a truth older than the civilization that told it. Our mission is to uncover those truths — to trace the threads connecting the world’s oldest stories and reveal what they tell us about the human condition.
We write for curious readers, students, storytellers, artists and game designers — anyone who has ever wondered where a legend came from, and why it still has a hold on us.
What We Cover
The archive is organised into realms, each gathering the beings of one culture or region. Among them:
- Greek Mythology and Norse & Germanic gods, heroes and monsters
- Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Persian traditions of the ancient Near East
- Hindu, Buddhist, Tibetan and Sri Lankan deities, yakku and guardians
- Chinese, Korean and Southeast Asian spirits and immortals
- Slavic, Finnish & Baltic and Arthurian folklore
- African, Polynesian & Oceanic and Native American traditions
- Cryptids & modern legends, and the demons of the grimoires
Every chronicle covers the being’s names and regional variants, its origins, its powers and symbols, the key stories told about it, and how it was remembered. Quick Facts and an FAQ sit beside each entry, and every chronicle links to related beings in other cultures. Longer journeys through a single mythology are collected as series.
How Each Chronicle Is Made
- Research. Every entry begins in the Drakorix archive, where the being’s names, culture, region and related traditions are gathered before a word is written.
- Writing. The chronicle is written from that research, following the most widely told versions of the myth and noting where tellings differ.
- Fact-check. Chronicles pass through a verification step that checks names, dates, attributions and sources, and corrects anything that does not hold up.
- Sources. Where a reliable encyclopedia reference exists — most often Wikipedia — it is listed at the end of the chronicle, together with the tradition the story comes from: village and oral tradition, ancient texts, or later retellings.
The Fact-check meter at the top of every chronicle shows, out of 100, how thoroughly that entry was researched and checked. Open “How we checked” to see exactly which checks it passed.
Myths Change From Place to Place
A myth is not a fixed text. The same spirit can carry a different name, shape and story in neighbouring villages, and a god’s role can shift over the centuries. Where versions differ we say so, and we record regional names and variants rather than forcing a single “correct” story. If your village tells it differently, we would love to hear your version.
Respect for Living Traditions
Many of the beings in this encyclopedia are still honoured today. We write about living faiths with care: we use the honorifics their communities use, we do not merge distinct deities into one, and we present each tradition on its own terms.
The Editor
Drakorix Chronicles is edited by Morgan Hale, a mythology writer based in the United States, who compiles the encyclopedia’s entries on gods, spirits and creatures from mythologies and folk traditions around the world.
