Since the distant past of Dragaera involves stuff from our present and future, and yet the tales of Dragaera are being related in our present, well, I nearly think time travel of *some* sort is indeed a given. > > Could it be that Dragaera is actually just a planet that is colonized > well into our own future, Another - and I think more likely explanation - is that Dragaera may have first been reached by a colonization ship passing through a necromantic gate the size of a small moon. That is, the planet itself may well be in a universe distinct from the starting point of the original colonists (and for that matter, further in the Dragaeran universe's past).
