Description SO! You guys may be a little confused. I guess for this to make sense, I need to explain the physiology of the Naveno region. Naveno is located Southwest of the Unova region. Anville Town in Unova has a train system that has trains that go back and forth from Unova to Naveno. Because of the regions being relatively close to one another, Naveno shares a lot of Pokemon with the Unova region. 3 of which are the Kami trio of Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus. Crops, y'all. Agriculture is important to Kentucky, and why make up my own fakes for that when there's literally a trio of them already made? I use real Pokemon to connect with the main series, not because I'm lazy!!! >>

Soldorus
The Guiding Light Pokemon
Fire/Flying Type
Dex: Soldorus is said to be the mother to the Kami trio. When her children started causing chaos among the Naveno region, she fled to a cave in shame of her acts. The disappearance of Soldorus created an eternal darkness in the region, so the Native Navenians lured her out using a mirror. When Soldorus looked upon this mirror, she took on another forme. She then realized that she could use this mirror to prevent her children from doing any more harm, by transforming each of them into beasts. The embarrassment her children felt caused them to flee to a nearby region, and Soldorus kept the mirror in case a problem ever arose again.

Heads up, the dex description was long. Soldorus's tale is actually based on Shinto mythology, Amaterasu specifically. I felt that the Kami trio was incredibly fitting for the Naveno region, especially with Unova being so close. But don't for a second think that I wasn't going to take advantage of this and create a totally awesome fake for Unova as well. And it works out great because, while I changed quite a bit, a lot of Soldorus's backstory matches up with Amaterasu's 3 children, a very important mirror. And the fact that the Kami trio HAD the mirror already, it was just... it's fantastic. I love Soldorus's design and backstory, and to be quite frank, she's probably my favorite legendary in all of Naveno.

So I actually include the mirror in this forme of Soldorus. She carries it on her back when in this forme to ward off her children from causing any more havoc than they already are. Have I mentioned how much I love this legendary? Oh, and if I haven't noted it, she is confirmed as a female legendary Pokemon, not genderless like most. The Kami trio are all male, so I wanted to create a female.

You must make a Pokemon version of Susanoo no Mikoto. That way it can be either a flying/dark type or a water fighting type. But this is good!

Thank you! I wouldn't mind doing that in the future, but this is all I've got for the Naveno region right now, aside from one more legendary.

I feel like your backstory, mythology, is one of the best in fakemon. I mean this fakemon for example the connection you make with another fakemon trio and theb assing more depth to it, I think you deserve a giant medaille.

Hahaha, I really appreciate it man! ^^ There are a lot of really great fakes here on dA, though. I'm inspired by all sorts of other artists and the awesome legends I've seen from them!

Thank you! I've worked really hard on all of these, and actually plan on creating much stronger mythos for my main legendaries and Naveno as a whole!

And not to brag, but I'm in love with Soldorus's tail being a Japanese shrine post. (I don't know the actual name of this structure I feel awful) I think it just adds to the legendary feel of this Pokemon, even above the others in it's group.
