!Legendary Figures (Major Spoilers)
Beings important to the New World's mythos and background. Be aware that everything under the ''Legendary Figures'' category is WalkingSpoiler material that reveals MASSIVE secrets about the setting.

[[folder:Six Gods]]
Divine beings who descended to the New World six hundred years ago. They are worshiped by the Slane Theocracy for saving humanity from extinction and granting them the gift of magic. For reasons unknown, they eventually vanished from the New World.
----
* BenevolentPrecursors: Founded the Slane Theocracy after teaching humans the art of magic, scientific research, and the benefits of civilization. [[spoiler:It's claimed several individuals who command the Theocracy are actual descendants of the Six Gods, and this information is kept secret from the Dragon Lords]].
* GameChanger: They introduced Yggdrasil Tier Magic to the New World. This single action forever altered the balance of power, bringing an end to [[spoiler:the Dragon Lord's reign of supremacy and giving humanity a chance at survival. How they accomplished this has yet to be told, although given the presence of [[GameBreaker World Class Items]] from Yggdrasil, it might have been ''Five Elements Overcoming'' being used]].
* HumansAreInsects: Before the Six Gods arrived, humans were on the very bottom of the New World food chain. Were it not for them, humanity would have gone extinct in two or three generations.
* NeglectfulPrecursors: The Evil Deities the Thirteen Heroes had to defeat? There's evidence to believe they were [[spoiler:the NPC minions of the Six Gods, that went insane after centuries without a Player Character master to obey]]. The Slane Theocracy also turned out to become a human supremacist society that seeks out to genocide all non-humans. [[spoiler:Although it's possible the Six Gods intended this to begin with]].
* WalkingSpoiler:They were the first group of [[spoiler:Yggdrasil MMO player characters]] to enter the New World. They are the reason why the New World has a magic system (and terminology) that mimics the Yggdrasil MMO, which initiated the fall of [[spoiler:the dragons by inadvertently corrupting the native Wild Magic system]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Eight Greed Kings]]
Terrible beings who appeared in the New World five hundred years ago. Their arrival heralded an age of unbridled death and destruction, ushering terror and misery to all. Unable to oppose their immense armies and invincible magics, the New World was easily conquered by them. However, unwilling to share the prize, the Greed Kings began to squabble and war among themselves. This internal conflict greatly weakened them, making it possible for the oppressed races to rally and destroy the Greed Kings.
----
* BroughtDownToNormal: Each time [[spoiler:the Greed Kings died they suffered resurrection LevelDrain]], growing weaker and weaker. This eventually brought about FinalDeath, either from each other or the New World resistance.
* EternalEngine: The Floating Palace of Eryuentiu continues to manufacture equipment and magic items despite the deaths of the Greed Kings. [[spoiler:It was the guild dungeon of the Eight Greed Kings and might have similarities with the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Platinum Dragon Lord resides within the fortress and keeps vigil over the Greed King's fearsome guild weapons]].
* ForbiddenZone: The Floating Palace of Eryuentiu [[spoiler:is designated as such by Momonga after learning of its existence in the New World. It appears he recognizes the structure or the original guild from the Yggdrasil MMO]].
* WalkingSpoiler: They were the second group of [[spoiler:Yggdrasil MMO player characters to enter the New World. They are the reason why the New World has a decimated population, responsible for killing most of the dragons, and convinced Platinum Dragon Lord that creatures from Yggdrasil are evil]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Thirteen Heroes]]
Two hundred years ago a legion of creatures known as the Evil Deities suddenly appeared and began to lay waste to the New World. The monsters could not be bargained with, nor did they seek out something tangible like world conquest... [[ForTheEvulz they simply wished to see everything burn]]. In this time of chaos, two mysterious adventurers arose and united eleven other individuals to destroy the Evil Deities one by one. In the end they succeeded, but the truth surrounding their origins, exploits, and fate remains clouded in myth and legends.
----
* BlatantLies: There were more than thirteen of them... and some members would not have even been considered heroic, but not defeating [[spoiler:the Evil Deities was far more dangerous than rejecting help from New World villains who could contribute to the cause]].
* EvilHero: Defeating [[spoiler:the Evil Deities]] required joining forces with, if only temporary, several unsavory individuals. Only by pooling the combined might of the New World's most powerful beings, could they hope to challenge their mutual destroyer.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: The common folk only know of thirteen individuals who saved the world. In truth there were many more involved, and the contributions and exploits of the forgotten others fall into this category.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The leader and most powerful of [[spoiler:the Evil Deities called itself the Dragon God. Platinum Dragon Lord never reveals if it was truthful or just a boast. On that note: Platinum was also one of the Thirteen Heroes, using a suit of remote controlled armor to conceal his true identity. When he revealed the truth of it, the Thirteen Heroes disbanded soon thereafter]].

!!Leader of the Thirteen Heroes
* TheChosenOne: The great hero who led the other twelve to victory.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted. He was said to be weaker than anyone but by continuously swinging his sword he became the strongest. [[spoiler: Though in truth he was one of the two players transported from Yggdrasil two hundred years ago.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He forged an alliance of powerful beings to take down the Evil Deities and bring peace the world. [[spoiler:Though dies tragically after a betrayal or a terrible misunderstanding... perhaps even a combination of both]].
* WalkingSpoiler: The Leader and one other member of the Thirteen Heroes were [[spoiler:the fifth group of Yggdrasil MMO player characters to enter the New World. Unlike the other known groups, the pair was only around level 50 and did not seem to possess the resources of a guild, but nonetheless were very powerful by New World standards. After successfully defeating the Evil Deities, an argument broke out between the two player characters, which resulted in the unresurrectable death of both. Platinum Dragon Lord, who was also a member of the Thirteen Heroes, is believed to have been the catalyst]].

[[folder:Dragon Lords]]
The most powerful dragons in the New World. Six hundred years in the past, the Dragon Lords and their subordinates were the uncontested rulers of the planet. In modern times they've become secretive and reclusive, to the extent that some believe several no longer exist. The end of the Dragon Golden Age came about after the first and second invasion of Yggdrasil MMO player characters. The first group, known as the Six Gods, taught the lesser races (humans in particular) the secrets of Yggdrasil spell casting and item making. The MMO based magic somehow corrupted the natural Wild Magic system that was native to the New World, and weakened the dragons who used it. The second group, known as the Eight Greed Kings, enacted a global conflict that resulted in the slaughter of countless dragons on the battlefield, reducing their numbers to only a few dozen of the most powerful. Despite these losses, it appears the remaining dragons (or Platinum Dragon Lord at a minimum) were successful at engineering events for these Yggdrasil visitors, and at least two separate groups afterwards, to fight among and kill themselves. Fearing the destructive power of Yggdrasil MMO player characters, they now move about in secrecy and prefer to strike against enemies from the shadows.
----
* BullyingADragon: A low level dragon can be defeated if enough Adamantium class Adventurers band together, although doing so is very dangerous and will result in devastating casualties.
* TheDreaded: Both the Yggdrasil MMO and the New World consider dragons to be the most powerful creatures possible. When Momonga learns that dragons exist in the New World, he orders his followers to avoid them when encountered, fearing they could match or exceed the strength of a Floor Guardian.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Dragons possess their own form of spellcraft known as Wild Magic, which is nothing like the system from Yggdrasil. For example: [[spoiler:the Wild Magic resurrection spell does not cause LevelDrain]]. Wild Magic is the native and more "natural" magic of the New World, whereas Tier Magic originated from an MMO and is limited by its "artificial" rules. Interestingly enough, beings from the Yggdrasil MMO [[spoiler:cannot learn Wild Magic or use Martial Skills, another ability native to the New World]].
* SoulPower: Ever since its corruption, Wild Magic requires souls to generate the energy to cast spells. In the New World, what an MMO calls experience points is actually the "life force" of a living creature converted into potential energy. Whenever one creature slays another, a portion of this "life force" is transferred to the victor, making them stronger. Defeating stronger creatures (for example a dragon) gives greater life force than defeating weaker creatures (for example a goblin). Gathering this life force makes a creature stronger... thus experience points. Therefore spells or abilities that supposedly drain experience points, are really draining souls.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Wild Magic was weakened and corrupted after [[spoiler:the Six Gods introduced the Yggdrasil MMO magic system to the New World. The dragons who relied on it still had to challenge these powerful extra-dimensional invaders without their most powerful ability.]]

!!Platinum Dragon Lord
One of the Dragon Lords, and depending on the source, their leader and the single most powerful dragon on the New World. Platinum Dragon Lord is incredibly ancient and said to predate the arrival of the Six Gods who uplifted humanity. He is one of the few beings to know that the New World has been invaded by unimaginably powerful outsiders from another dimension known as Yggdrasil. Starting as far back as six hundred years ago, the actions of these creatures forever changed the New World and earned Platinum's eternal hatred. He now fights a secret war to slay these "[[GenreSavvy Player Characters]]" before they can do the same to him.
----
* ArchaeologicalArmsRace: He spends resources to locate and collect weapons that originate from [[spoiler:the Yggdrasil MMO]].
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: He knows that in a straight one-on-one battle, he lacks the strength and resources to defeat an Yggdrasil guild as powerful as the Great Tomb of Nazarick. He utilizes clandestine methods to avoid detection, gather information, and find weaknesses that can be exploited. Remaining an UnknownRival is very important to his methods.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Apparently he's been successfully doing this over and over again for [[spoiler:at least 600 years]].
* TheKidWithTheRemoteControl: For the fifth Yggdrasil invasion, he utilized a suit of magic armor that could be remote controlled to carryout his plans. He more recently used it to [[spoiler:attack Shalltear Bloodfallen during her mind controlled event, but the armor wasn't strong enough to overcome her second form SuperMode. Whether or not Platinum has more of the suits, or how powerful they are compared to the dragon himself (since the known example is not stronger than a Floor Guardian), remains unknown]].
* DwindlingParty: The deaths and self imposed hiding of [[spoiler:his fellow Dragon Lords in the war against Yggdrasil has been this to him]].
* FantasticNuke: He is said to have a Wild Magic spell that can create a SphereOfDestruction.
* GodzillaThreshold: Every time he learns of a new incursion from [[spoiler:the Yggdrasil MMO]].
* GreaterScopeVillain: He intends to become this for Ainz, as part of his never ending fight against [[spoiler:the Yggdrasil players who enter the New World once every century]].
* HistoryRepeats: Once every 100 years [[spoiler:players from the Yggdrasil MMO enter the New World. Each time he has rid them from the New World]].
* HumansAreCthulhu: In the New World, the term "Player Character" is a word whispered in fear by the secret cabal lead by [[spoiler:Platinum Dragon Lord. They aren't aware of the term's true meaning from Yggdrasil, but have associated as a title for extra-dimensional beings whose power exceed that of the strongest gods]].
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He knows about Player Characters, the Yggdrasil MMO, and opposes their intervention in the New World. He has knowledge from [[spoiler:the era of the Six Gods. He rules from the ruins of the Eight Greed Kings guild dungeon and guards their all-powerful guild weapon. He was involved in the disbandment of the Thirteen Heroes. He is aware of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. He mostly just sits from the sidelines... although he did fight the mind controlled Shalltear with his remote controlled suit of armor]].
* TakeAThirdOption:Without the full power of Wild Magic, [[spoiler:dragons are no match for level 100 Yggdrasil characters on the battlefield. This has forced Platinum Dragon Lord to work through subterfuge, information control, and third party agents to defeat his sworn enemies]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing about him reveals a dangerous foe Ainz might not be prepared to face. On the other hand, [[spoiler:Platinum Dragon Lord knows ''exactly'' what he's up against and been successful in battling against Yggdrasil invaders]].
* ZenSurvivor: Seems to think of himself as one.

!!Vampiric Dragon Lord
A member of the Dragon Lords, the most powerful dragons in the New World.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: He's a vampire with unusual powers and monumental strength. [[spoiler:It was mistakenly theorized by a New Worlder that the mind controlled Shalltear Bloodfallen was him in disguise]].

!!Catastrophe Dragon Lord
A member of the Dragon Lords, the most powerful dragons in the New World.
* PosthumousCharacter: Already dead before Momonga arrives to the New World. [[spoiler:However there's a prophecy he can resurrect himself and will return]].

!!Heavenly Dragon Lord
A member of the Dragon Lords, the most powerful dragons in the New World.
* DirtyCoward: It's possible. Was not present during [[spoiler:the tragic LastStand between the Dragon Lords and the Eight Greed Kings. Could have been LateToTheTragedy though]].
* WalkingTheEarth: Platinum Dragon Lord comments that Heavenly is always flying the New World at altitudes too high to reach through normal means. [[spoiler:It leads Platinum to not counting on his future aid to defeat Nazarick]].

!!Deep Darkness Dragon Lord
A member of the Dragon Lords, the most powerful dragons in the New World.
* BeneathTheEarth: Platinum Dragon Lord comments that Deep Darkness is hiding in a subterranean labyrinth that's very challenging to search through. [[spoiler:It leads Platinum to not counting on his future aid to defeat Nazarick]].
* DirtyCoward: It's possible. Was not present during [[spoiler:the tragic LastStand between the Dragon Lords and the Eight Greed Kings. Platinum phrases a statement about him, as if Deep Darkness is in hiding. Could have been LateToTheTragedy though]]...

!!Brightness Dragon Lord
A member of the Dragon Lords, the most powerful dragons in the New World.
* FounderOfTheKingdom: Established the Dragonic Kingdom.
