Spyro Timeline....Extended(through my own continuity..includes some minor spoilers)
We all may have varying opinions on the timeline of the game series, however, this is how I see the Spyro timeline, as well as where my own continuity fits into it. I will explain the various parts of the history of my version of the spyro continuity here, with a focus on both global events, and the events regarding the purple dragons.( Malfor, ANB/DOTD Spyro, original(Insomniac) Spyro(who is a different person in my continuity), and Seridix Era Spyro.) Also not that this is in no way meant to be a cannon timeline, since there is a lot of non cannon in it.
Eras-
The Beginning
This is the earliest period of Dragon world. It was a dangerous time characterized by a never ending war between the dragons and shadow dragons(evil counterparts of the dragons). Civilization was more or less two massive kingdoms, each holding some of the greatest magic in the history of the world. This era was all about war and survival, and ended with the triumphant of the Dragons over the evil Shadow Dragons, who where sealed in the Nexus, the evil realm from which they came.
Major events-
The Great War: There where many wars in this time . So many in fact, that the civilizations decided to stop counting and just consider each new war part of the massive ongoing conflict that the shadow dragons caused and championed. In this era, war was the norm and peace was considered odd. Pain, suffering and strife where a natural part of life, and wars became an almost mundane occurrence.
Sealing of the Shadow Dragons- The wicked shadow dragons where, after losing the Last Great War, where sealed within the horrid realm they created for battle known as Nexus. Once there, they remained for thousands of years, waiting to exact their vengeance upon the dragons who defeated them.
The Ancient Times
Era Overview
The time of Malfor. In this era, dragon world was much like it was in the Fall Dragons where the dominant species, Gnorcks where not even a civilized race, and technology was at an all time low. Magic was abundent and flourishing at this time, and the portal systems and other magics of the dragons mad the so technology was not even needed, magic completely filled that roll. The dragon world was in general, at it's peak. Dragons wielded amazing powers that they would never have again for several ages after the fall. Overall this era is rather easy to sum up, since we no so little about it from the cannon. So yeah, not much to say.
Major Events- The birth of the first ever purple dragon, Malfor, and all the events centered around him. (I am not going to write these, if you want to know them, play DOTD yourself, its a good game.)
The Fall- ANB- DOTD
The time of the first dragon to take the name Spyro. This was a turbulent era of conflict and strife, and it's end marked the end of the golden age of dragons and their magic. Technology stayed low because there was no need for it to advance, the Dragon's magic was still powerful enough to act as technology. This era was more or less an extension of the ancient times, however was characterized by one major event, the split of the Dragon world, and thus the end of the supremacy of Dragons. Hence why I call this era "The Fall" as it basically was the fall of great draconic civilization.
Major events: (Play the games, I don't want to give away any spoilers)
The Split World Era- All Insomniac games
After the rise of Malfor and the epic battle between him and the first Spyro, the dragon world was split into three worlds. The dragon world(which is both the dragon world and forgotten realms...it would look kinda like an apple core, with one world at one end and the other at the opposite end.), Avalar and another world from which the tyrant Ripto hails. Magic had greatly declined in this era, so much so that the only power dragons possessed was their flame breath, they had come to forget their great powers of old. Due to this, technology began to crop up and advance. What magic was lost, technology and science compensated for, however, some magics did survive(such as portals.). This era also saw the birth of perhaps the most powerful purple dragon to have ever existed, the second Spyro. He did not have all of his elemental powers yet due to magic being suppressed, however, he was still able to defeat many tyrants and enemies, becoming one of the most well known dragons.
Major events: (Again see the games, these games are by far the best as well, so play them if you have not.)
The Rebuilding
Through the split world era, people had been separate, without contact. Magic had declined, and the world had become a much more "backwards" place despite the more advance technology. The Spyro of the split world era however, due to his saving several of the other worlds, was able to bring a cultural unit back to the split dragon world. Not only that, but at this time, something happened. The magic that had seemingly been gone for so many years, suddenly returned. Dragons once again could wield great powers, and the Spyro of this time(still split worlds/insomniac Spyro) was able to use all the elements again without the help of machines and magic from outside of himself. This event however, foreshadowed a much darker time ahead. Dragon civilization began to rebuild itself, and technology instead of going away due to the advent of magic, grew more advance. The world was moving back to a age of glory that it had not experienced since the ancient times.
Major events:
The return of magic- The most major event of this era, dragons for an unknown reason regained their magical powers. This event is what pushed the still split dragon world back onto the "right track"
Globalization- The three worlds began to make contact with each other due to having a connection via Spyro. A new global community emerged out of this, and conflict and war was replaced by negoation and politics, which despite how better it sounds, could be as much as an evil as it was a blessing. Villains in this time where crafty manipulators as appose to brutal tyrants, self serving dragons(and others) who used this change in systems to their advantage, by ripping off and using others. However, despite the corruption, it was a nice change from the brutal wars of the ancient times, and the conquests and vendettas of the Shattered World era.
The rebirth of civilization- Civilization was brought back to dragon world. Cities now began to crop up and magic and technology worked together to create a world and society that was as flourishing, if not even more so then the ancient age.
Second Age of War
The magic that had returned to the dragons was no accident. For when the world was split, so to was the seal on Nexus, where the evil shadow dragons who had brought an age of endless war with their coming where held. Dragon Magic had never really died, it just had "turned off" to "recharge" after the immense power the first Spyro used to save dragon world. The magic however, had returned, because an old enemy of the dragons was about to return. The seal was broken by the events of the shattered words and rebuild era, and now they where free. The shadow dragons would come to lay wast to the new dragon civilization, ending the second golden age of dragons, and thus starting a new great war. The worst part of it all though was what was to happen Spyro of this era.(Insomniac Spyro) Spyro had grown into a strong and powerful dragon and become a leader of the draconic civilization. Being a purple dragon, he could for a sense live forever, however, death would soon come to him. It was not a traditional death, but rather a death of his mind and soul, who he was would never exist again.
Major events-
Return of the Shadow Dragons- Free from the Nexus, the wicked shadow dragons laid wast to draconic civilization. Their path of destruction was one of the greatest instances of bloodshed in dragon world history.
The Second Great War- A new great war broke out between the shadow dragons and dragons, adding even more bloodshed to an already dark era.
Spyro's transformation- War is a horrific event. This Spyro, although strong, had never witnessed anything like the bloodshed of this era. In the split world period, battles where small, localized, and the world was innocent. This Spyro had never had experienced the death of a loved one, and in this age, everybody Spyro cared about, all the friends he made on his different adventured, where slaughtered, killed by the evil shadow dragons. Spyro's world was shattered, and he for a while was nothing but a hollow shell. However, his dragoness' last words rung true in his head. " Please, end this suffering." These words would come to inspire the distraught and shattered dragon to take up a new mission, end all suffering in the world. Once this idea was in his mind, Spyro's personality took a drastic turn. He became dark, brooding cold, and aloof. His happiness had all but dried up, and the only thing he seamed to care about was his quest to end suffering, which he became obsessive over. This change would mark the slow death of the dragon named Spyro, and the birth of the most wicked and evil tyrant in the history of the dragon world.
Defeat of the Shadow Dragons- Spyro eventually would come to defeat the evil shadow dragons with the help of the rest of Dragon World, and despite his new personality, he would gain a new close friend in a dragon that aided his efforts named Kaira. He sympathized with Spyro's obsessive need to change the world, and was considered by most other dragons to be a opinionated and stubborn dragon who was "too politically minded" An aspiring politician, he was generally much more light heated and optimistic while Spyro was more negative and pessimistic, but he was able to make the Spyro "sane" as he said, which is why the two foils became such close friends.
Rise of the Gnorck Kingdom- The Gnorck kingdoms had long been humbled after Gnasty Gnorck was defeated. They had become fractured and leaderless, however, now a new charismatic Gnorck sought to take Gnasty's place and destroy the dragons for what they did to the Gnorcks so long ago. Gnarly Gnorck took control of the Gnorck tribes and re-created the Gnrock Kingdom. He attacked the Dragons and started small skirmishes however, they where no major threat to the dragon world at first. They slowly grew in power though, and in one faithful attack, they would make a grave mistake...
Kaira's Death- Kaira had at this point become a prominent politician who due to his principles had taken a strong stance against the Gnorcks and their bloodshed. Fearing his influence in the world and connection to Spyro, the Gnasty Gnorck lead an attack on his district, killing him and many of his people. Spyro had tried to save him, but it was too late.
The Death of Spyro- With Kaira's death, Spyro, who was already quite unstable, went off the deep end. He came to believe he was a messiah figure, sent to end the suffering of the dragon world and create a utopia. He said that his birth as a purple dragon was no acdent, and that he was a divine being, a god, sent to the dragon world to save the people from pain and suffering. At this point, the other dragons thought Spyro had gone mad, and the truth is they where right.
Gnorck Genoicde- Spyro, deemed the Gnorkcs to be an evil race that deserved "judgment from god." So, with his mighty power and followers, he slaughtered the gnorcks. This mass murder was like none that dragon world had ever seen. Spyro had slaughtered almost every gnorck, and not just the warriors, every man, women and child was destroyed, even the babies where brutally slaughtered. Spyro justified it as "God's judgment," and his followers where becoming more and more like cult worshipers, actually seeing Spyro as a real God. The dragons who where against Spyro and his madness only took this as another sign of his insanity, and this would lead to another event...
The Dragon Civil War- The Dragon Kingdom divided in half, those who worshiped "God" and those who where against the insane purple dragon. The war was rather short and brief, as "God's" power had grown so strong that he was able to crush the opposition. After the battle he said that this war marked the beginning of the age where he would forfill his purpose and create a world without suffering. He made a bold promise that he would re-untie Dragon World and live to tell the tale, and sure enough he did. Now, Dragon World was one planet again, and Spyro was able to do with it what he saw fit. The darkest age in the history of Dragon World was beginning.
Seridix City Era
Spyro(insomniac) was the supreme king of the dragons, and with his might, conquered all of dragon world. His eternal life as a purple dragon only further allowed him to construct his "utopia." For 10,000 years dragon world would be reconstructed into something as dark and twisted as Spyro's evil mind. By the end of these 10,000 years, the dragon world that had existed before was no more. Gone where the lush fields, bright colors, beautiful castles. In their place was a massive, filthy, polluted city. The blue skies where died a constant black by the constant activities of factories. Massive sky scrapers rose up out of the landscape, constantly being expanded.(So the city has a rather "unfinished" look.) All this was watched over by a being simply referred to by the people as "The Godmind" the name of Spyro had long since been lost to the pages of history, the name only being attributed to an ancient hero "who was killed during the time of the shadow dragons." In this age, the people had no freedom, and where made to adhere to an oppressive code of "divine edicts" from the Godmind. The Godmind also many times deemed other, non-dragon races impure, and had all non-draconic races systematically slaughtered in an endless string ofl genocides that where referred to a "cleansing." Spyro had fulfilled his destiny, not the destiny of ending suffering, but the dark destiny all purple dragons share, to destroy the world. However where Malfor had failed and the first Spyro had reversed his actions, this purple dragon had succeeded. Dragon world was gone, destroyed, all that was left was Seridix City.
There was however, hope. A undergound rebelion had been going on for quite some time, but it was for the most part unsuccesfull. However another purple dragon had been born, given the name spyro, ironcaly enough, it was said in legends that this purple dragon would be the most important of them all, the one to free all other purple dragons from the dark destiny they share. This brought hope to the rebelion, and this new hero would at last bring an age of peace to dragon world.
Important events-
Rule of The Godmind- For thousands of years, the terrible Tyrant who once held the name Spyro ruled the world with an iron fist. He never showed his face though, he ruled from his massive tower in the center of the city. He ruled as a "God" taking measures to end the suffering of all people. He stripped them of freedom, as making a bad decision leads to suffering, thus "the Godmind" should make your choices for you. He murdered all non-draconic races in genocides saying that having more then one race caused conflict, and conflict leads to more suffering. This was an era stained in blood and strife, a dark time, the darkest dragon world had ever seen.
"The Dragon of Destiny"- The new Spyro was the one to change it all, the one to free dragon world, and save all purple dragons to come from their ghastly fate of being a destroyer. This dragon, along with the weakened rebellion would take on the greatest evil Dragon World has scene since the Shadow Dragons and Malfor, The Godmind Spyro.
The Great Rebellion- The war to end all wars, The Dragon of Destiny vs. the Godmind, the rebellion vs. Seridix. This rebellion inspired by the new Spyro began to have success thanks to the young dragon's efforts, and the tide was finally turning against the evil Godmind.
The Fall of the Godmind- After an epic battle, the Dragon of Destiny, Spyro, and defeated the Godmind(Insomniac Spyro), freeing both dragon world and all other purple dragons as a result. After the oppression and suffering of the Seridix Era, the Dragons took it upon themselves never to repeat the horrible mistakes that led to that time of darkness coming, and thus a new, great age would begin.
Age of Peace-
The final age of the Dragon World that I bothered to create(Due to it being a good end to the Spyro "seires") In this time, the wicked city of Seridix was torn down, replaced with a new, beautiful city where dragons lived in relative peace. Not to say that it was a utopia, there was still crime, corruption and other such things, but there was no massive wars, magic was plentiful, technology was high, and there was a unity the likes of which was never seen before. It was a flawed, yet ideal age. The true age of peace.
Important events-
Peace- There was no war, no major conflicts for the first time in the history of the dragon world. This was a landmark time for the dragon world, seeing as conflict and strife had dominated the past ages.
The Slow Return of Non-Dragon Races- After the genocides of the Seridix City age, the survivors of the horrible genocides decided that they would slowly re-create their races and cultures. It was a slow process, but it was working, and those species where slowly but surely being restored.
The Advent of Democracy- A new form of government also came out of this time. While the Dragon World had been ruled by wise elders or tyrants beforehand, now for the first time, the people could chose their leaders. Democracy quickly became the main form of government of Dragon world, and thing at last seam to work.
So, thats my timeline, with non-cannon/fanfic elements added. Yes, parts of it are darker, and Insomniac Spyro grows up to be evil, hence why I said that in the chatroom my continuity is "strange." Anyway, those are just the basic outlines, each era is VERY fleshed out, and if you want to know more about a non-cannon era, feel free to ask me.

Re: Spyro Timeline....Extended(through my own continuity..includes some minor spoilers)
Great Timeline Dude! It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EPIC! TLOS Eat your heart out!!!
My Timeline is similar to yours, but yours is alot more expansive, here it is:
http://www.spyroforum.com/topic-7322-sp … eline.html
One of the differences is the purple dragon thing. In my opinion, Purple Dragons Sort of Lost their magic after TLOS Spyro, It was something the ancestors changed to remove Malefor from happening again (They needed Spyro to Stop Malefor, the thing they created, that's why they didn't stop purple dragons straight after Malefor). Also, If you note every game after Originals, Spyro's powers were gained from some magic other than himself, (ETD was bianca and the spirit dragon thing, AHT was faeries etc) and wasn't anything unusual. But wait, Maybe you're talking about the magic returning after all these games, in that case, Your fine, But i just wanted to let you know that Spyro wasn't special in any of these games.
As for SL, It's sort of a split timeline, a similar, but not the same one as other spyro games.
And When I readyour idea about the Shadow Dragons, I was Surprised on how Similar You and Is game ideas are. I also Had an idea about the "Shadow Dragons" being locked in A Realm which is once opened again.
And I Noticed You took a bit of inspiration from my "Connecting TLOS to the originals" topic about the apple core thing. Thanks!

Re: Spyro Timeline....Extended(through my own continuity..includes some minor spoilers)
Yes, there are three Spyros in my continuity. The ANB-DOTD Spyro, Insomniac Spyro, and my OC Spyro(Seridix City-Age of peace.).
Also regarding magic. My thoughts on why the magic disappeared is explained as such. The magic never disappeared to began with. It seamed like it was non-existence because it had become dormant. Dragon magic for many years in my continuity thrived. During the Malfor incident, the magic used did not drain any powers from the dragons at all, just the planet. The reason being is after Spyro used his powers, dragons(at least Ignitus) where seen still using magic, so the incident did not drain the dragons of their powers. The world itself is another story, however, the dragons lost their powers in another manner. After the incadent, they saw the destruction magic could wrought, so to prevent such an event from happening again, they stopped using magic, and locked away the arcane lore forever. Over the years, because of this move by the earlier dragons, the magical arts where forgotten to the point where dragons never even knew they had magic in the first place, and the portals and other artifacts where not thought to be made by them.
Hence, they lost their magical abilities because they did not even know they had them. If they knew, they could use them, but ages of not using followed by ages of not knowing had left dragons without any knowledge on how to use their abilities, or even that they had them. So purple dragons still where special, and still had the same fate, but nobody knew this, or knew anything about the purple dragon lore anymore, so in that era, to the people in it a purple dragon was just like any other. Magic was however, kept by some scholars of some kind, as some non-dragons obviously knew how to use magic (Gnasty Gnork, and The Sorcerers come to mind.) So, when the shadow dragon seal began to break, those said scholars realized it was the time to give the dragons their abilities or watch the world burn, hence when the knowledge spread, the magic "returned."
Anyway, I never even read your continuity, so I had no idea you made shadow dragons as well(XD), great minds think alike I guess.

Re: Spyro Timeline....Extended(through my own continuity..includes some minor spoilers)
But you must of read the "Connecting TLOS to the originals" thing, right?. Anyway, that theory sounds very plausible, except for
and the portals and other artifacts where not thought to be made by them.
The Dragons defiently knew how to make portals, The professor could. And portals seem to be new enough to be put up in the right spots and lead to the right area. I refuse to believe Dragons didn't know how to make portals.
So purple dragons still where special, and still had the same fate, but nobody knew this, or knew anything about the purple dragon lore anymore, so in that era, to the people in it a purple dragon was just like any other.
Could work, except for the fact that there were like 10 purple dragons in spyro 1. Not really born every "10 generations". Also, Spyro would've unlocked his powers by himself by too long, TLOS spyro did it without trying. But Spyro needed faeries to breath breaths. Ofcource Spyro learns Wind in AOTR, But i wouldn't be surprised if some dragons could breath more than one breath usually. Cynder could do it!

Re: Spyro Timeline....Extended(through my own continuity..includes some minor spoilers)
Well, portal making could have easily not have been forgotten. Despite the fact that we humans lost knowledge from the ancient times that we only re-discovered recently, there is plenty of things we remembered through the ages. Portal making, since it was a useful and non-dangerous art, could have been still used, and thus remembered.
Also, regarding the purple dragon thing, even though there where others, we can still say that Spyro has some exceptionable qualities about him. Maybe not purple dragon powers, but he was able to save the dragon world many many times while bigger and stronger dragons would not be able to do a darn thing. Oh, and he also beat magic users without any powers. So if anything, Spyro is an exceptional dragon because he never gives up, and always is able to do what he sets his mind to. He is thus able to accomplish amazing feats because of his drive. Therefore, Spyro could have easily, once magical knowledge came back, become massively powerful by applying his tenaciousness to spellcraft. He could essentially learn to have magical powers even stronger then that of the original purple dragons. He still would not be able to use all elements, however, he could easily learn non-elemental along the lines of what Gnasty and the Sorcerers used, and thus he could become stronger then any element user as non-elemental magic allows for all kinds of nasty powers that Malfor would dream of having. Also, non elemental magic would allow him to essentially do everything I had him do (reunite the world ect...).
Non-elemental magic is a power stronger then any element because it has no opposite, and therefore, is near invincible. Non elemental magic could easily destroy the world like elemental could(After all, the world coulds be blown up by pure magical energy(Which has no element) rather then some elemental force. The elements are bound by their limits, while non-element magic can do everything the elements can do, and some things they can't, making it actually superior to possessing all elements...so in other words...
Mastery of Non-Elemental Magic > Possessing all elements.
Seeing how Spyro was so tenacious/driven and could figure things decently enough, he could have easily mastered non-elemental magic to become a strong hero and protect dragon world, and thus would become stronger then any of the purple dragons before him. Also, non-elemental magic could allow Spyro to completely control other dragons, or even worse, empty their bodies of souls(Magic regarding the soul is not driven by any elemental force, and thus non-elemental.)and use technology, or non elemental magic of some kind to use their bodies as puppets, thus he could have all elements just by knowing non-elemental magic. He could even speak through them, adding to his "godly" appearance, seaming to be an being made up of more then one body. As for how he survived thousands of years to create Seridix, again, non-elemental magic could easily be the case, he could have constantly transefered his soul into other bodies, or found a way to preserve his youth through non-elemental magic.
Oh, and yeah, like I said, his reason for taking the time to learn non-elemental magic would be to fight off some kind of major threat/become a stronger hero. (Such as an evil group during the reconstruction era.)
But if you really hate the non-elemental magic route, there is another way Spyro could have easily become "godly." Technology would have become more and more advance, and Spyro could become a "god" through technical means. As stated before, he as appose to using magic to control other dragons, could have digitized himself into data, and thus gained immortality in that manner. He could easily gain power over the elements by having re-animating the bodies of dead dragons through technology, and controlling them through machenery. Or he could have just made robotic bodies himself. He could have re-connected the worlds through technological means as well, using say, robots and machines that where a part of himself to connect the world. Also, this could explain how he made Seridix as well, and Spyro could have become a "data god" if you truly detest the idea of non-elemental magic existing in the Spyro universe.
However, I prefer non-elemental magic to the tech god idea, as it makes things way easier, and I don't see Spyro using tech as much as I see him using magic.

He could even speak through them, adding to his "godly" appearance, seaming to be an being made up of more then one body. As for how he survived thousands of years to create Seridix, again, non-elemental magic could easily be the case, he could have constantly transefered his soul into other bodies, or found a way to preserve his youth through non-elemental magic.
Oh, and yeah, like I said, his reason for taking the time to learn non-elemental magic would be to fight off some kind of major threat/become a stronger hero. (Such as an evil group during the reconstruction era.)
But if you really hate the non-elemental magic route, there is another way Spyro could have easily become "godly." Technology would have become more and more advance, and Spyro could become a "god" through technical means. As stated before, he as appose to using magic to control other dragons, could have digitized himself into data, and thus gained immortality in that manner. He could easily gain power over the elements by having re-animating the bodies of dead dragons through technology, and controlling them through machenery. Or he could have just made robotic bodies himself. He could have re-connected the worlds through technological means as well, using say, robots and machines that where a part of himself to connect the world. Also, this could explain how he made Seridix as well, and Spyro could have become a "data god" if you truly detest the idea of non-elemental magic existing in the Spyro universe.
However, I prefer non-elemental magic to the tech god idea, as it makes things way easier, and I don't see Spyro using tech as much as I see him using magic.
CONGRADULATIONS! You just converted me to believing what you are saying, something that I never do (lol). And I'm not being sarcastic. There could be some far out reason why Spyro had the "purple dragon spirit" that the other purple dragons did not that were with him.
Such as the fact that The japanese Manual Shows Spyro comming from an unknown location, carried by thieves. Maybe Some years ago before TLOS spyro (10, 20 or 30 generations or so). One of the dragon guardians of that age was trying to hide the purple dragon from the Dark Master's forces and somehow He froze the Dragon egg and Himself, maybe in an avalanche or something, and so the dragon egg was hidden for a long time. Then one day someone found it and eventually got into the hands of the thieves (or the thieves were the ones handeling it). Sparx could of just been an egg they picked up somewhere else, or was buried in the same avalanche.....
Anyway, that's a theory, but that explains why Purple Dragons, After the DMs defeat, were born reguarly and didn't have any powers.

Re: Spyro Timeline....Extended(through my own continuity..includes some minor spoilers)
I did not know about the Japanese manual, and also forgot completely about the thieves, or else I would have mentioned that. (XD) Thanks for telling me about them, as next time somebody confronts me on those issues, I can bring those points up as well.
Oh, and while we are on the topic of manuals, Spyro's father (Well I should say father figure, seeing as his egg came from another location.) was shown in the U.S. manual for the first ever game. He was a purple dragon too, and he was actually what I think to be the King of the Dragon Kingdom. The reason is because he was wearing a golden amulet(something no other dragons had in the game) with a spiral symbol on it that can be seen on the large flags hanging down from the castle where you free the first dragon that you free in the game. Spyro and the "father" where the only two dragons in the image, and I assumed the king was his "father" because he was scolding him in the picture like a parrent would reprimand a child.
This could actually make for an interesting story too, seeing as Spyro came from a strange location, and was stolen from thieves, the king of the dragon world, who was without children, heard of this exceptional young dragon, and needing a male heir to the throne, he raised the boy as his son and successor, however, was strict, hence, treated him, and had everybody else treat him as a normal dragon.
Now, this could all be an overactive imagination, and the "king" could have been reprimanding him for pulling some kind of prank or something, but then, if the crime was that small, why the heck would the KING be the one reprimanding him? You could say he pulled the prank in the king, but then, how would he even be able to get near the king if he was not royalty? So yeah, I think my little royalty story is an interesting theroy about Spyro's life before the games.

Re: Spyro Timeline....Extended(through my own continuity..includes some minor spoilers)
Ah yes, I know that picture and Strangely, That is not supposed to be Spyro's Father. It is actually a Dragon called "papa dragon" (Sources: http://www.us.playstation.com/PSone/Gam … ndex2.html Go onto "Advice").
This leaves open a gaping plothole, why the heck does that Dragon look so much like Spyro?
It is obvious that Insomniac made that picture depicting Spyro's dad then simply used It for that egment on that site, But seeing that it is information directly from the developers, it can't be excused. And if it was Spyro's dad, it would kill the whole "purple dragon every ten generations" anyway.

I see. Well, that ruins the royalty story.(Which would have been awesome.)Anyway, I wish I had a scanner so I could get some pictures of all these different characters and timelines, but sadly I do not have one. There are other OCs too, such as all the shadow dragons, and the Godmind's generals.(Who are actually ancient dragons brought back to life by the Godmind through time magic.)
