History: The origin of the Zargon is unknown. Some say they were once trees themselves, some say they grow like trees, and when of a certain age, they rise from the ground, others say they arrived from another galaxy. For thousands of years they were relatively peaceful, until the Great Divide. The Great Divide, occurred around 24,000 BBY when there was a split between the Younger and Elder Zargon over society. The Elders, being a minority, left for the more mountainous and remote regions on the northern part of their homeworld. For 2,000 years there was enmity between the groups, but that appeased, and they lived relative peace since, though occasionally the Elders would be mocked, which would quickly lead to mass devastation due to the enormous retaliation the Elders would cause.
According to a legend, one of the original elders in the Great Divide around 24,000 BBY, is still alive to this day. The Younger deny this, but many Elders, and even some of the Younger have claimed to see a giant ancient Fangorn striding the deepest of the mountain forests. The Zargon is claimed to be over 8 meters tall, and is called the Hry'shi'raver'onmo'taly'rom'va'n, or the Old One.
