Overview
The First Land (formerly called the Realm of Oni and Dragons, the Land of Oni and Dragons,[2] and the First Realm) was the first realm to come into existence among all the realms and is now part of the Merged Lands. It is mostly a desert land with some rocky mountains, occasional bodies of water, some woods and at least one volcano. As the name suggests, it is the homeworld of the dragons and their mortal enemies, the Oni. The Oni eventually disappeared with the intent of conquering the realms. This realm is where the First Spinjitzu Master originated from before he fled to create Ninjago.
History
History[]
Distant Past[]
At an unknown point before time had a name and under unknown circumstances, the Realm of Oni and Dragons came into existence as the first realm of creation. At some point later, the Source Dragon of Life went to the realm in their mortal form and gave birth to the first mortal dragon, the Firstbourne.[3] She would later go on to birth more mortal dragons, becoming the origin of the species, and known as the mother of all dragons.[4] At another point, the first Oni known as the Alpha would come into existence in the realm, and after them, more Oni appeared.[5] The dragons had power over creation, and the Oni had power over destruction. Effectively being polar opposites, the two species got into a seemingly never-ending conflict that would go on for ages. One day, a child with the powers of both sides was born, who understood the necessity of the roles both the Oni and dragons played in the balance. However, instead of ending the war, the two sides simply fought for control over him in order to win their sides of the battle. Torn between both worlds, the child abandoned his home to start anew. The child went on to become the First Spinjitzu Master, and with his powers, he travelled to another realm where he created an island, Ninjago. By doing this, the Firstbourne was left to guard the Dragon Armor and faithfully waited for him to return to the realm.
A part of the Oni followed the young master in Ninjago to bring him back to the realm and rally him to their cause or kill him.
After the young master left his homeland, the City of Temples shifted to the Realm of Oni and Dragons.[6] However, Thunderfang, furious about being refused of becoming a Source Dragon following the war, unleashed a massive storm on the City of Temples, aiming to annihilate everyone within. Fortunately, the Arc Dragon of Focus stepped in to confront Thunderfang, ultimately defeating him and imprisoning him within a mountain.
Before the City of Temples changed realms, some monks remained in the Realm of Oni and Dragons and over time their descendants developed into the Dragon Hunters.[7]
At some point in time, an Elemental Master of Life from the realm was called to the Whispering Wood, becoming the first Green Ninja.[8]
At some point later, the Oni left the realm and headed to parts unknown. When Iron Baron learned of this, he withheld this fact from the Dragon Hunters to rule over them.
The Ultra Dragon's return[]
Sometime after the Final Battle, the Ultra Dragon returned to the Realm of Oni and Dragons and went to the Firstbourne's nest.[9]
It met its end at the hands of the Dragon Hunters, and its skeleton was used for Iron Baron's throne.
Sons of Garmadon[]
Big Trouble, Little Ninjago[]
After using Traveler's Tea given to them by Mystake, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, and Wu end up in a desolate, sandy island, with ruined ninja uniforms and half of the Destiny's Bounty behind them. When they look over their surroundings, they see dragons and realized they have been transported to the Realm of Oni and Dragons.
Hunted[]
Firstbourne[]
While Kai, Zane, and Jay stayed with the Bounty to fix the radio, Cole and Wu went to look for food.
When Zane gets the radio working, the three of them soon hear something about an ambush and attempt to escape into the fog when they realize that they are the target of the ambush. They get captured, with the wreckage of the Destiny's Bounty being seized, by the Dragon Hunters and taken to Dead's End. Cole and Wu return to find that the Bounty and the other ninja are missing, and they go to find them after discovering tracks on the floor.
Iron & Stone[]
The captive ninja are thrown into the Pit to fight dragon Slab. Cole and Wu, who were disguised as Hunters, helped them by releasing a chain that they use to restrain Slab. Slab tries to attack Jay, but Zane uses his powers to subdue the beast, revealing their identities.
Iron Baron realizes they aren't Oni, since Oni don't have Elemental Powers, and ordered his Hunters to capture them since he realizes they're Elemental Masters.
Radio Free Ninjago[]
The stranded ninja, except for Cole and Wu, are captured by the Hunters and are used as bait to lure dragons. They eventually caught the Wind Dragon.
How to Build a Dragon[]
When the ninja made it back to Dead's End, they created a scheme to build a mechanical Firstbourne as a distraction so they could escape while Iron Baron attempts to catch it. Cole and Wu smuggle parts out of the camp and build the dragon in a mountainous area.
Wu flies the dragon over the hunters camp, prompting them to prepare an attack. However, this ended up summoning the real Firstbourne to attack the camp. After releasing the dragons, the ninja escape, and Iron Baron orders the hunters to find them.
The Gilded Path[]
The ninja noted Wu grew older in his sleep. Wu mentioned his dream about fishing with Garmadon and the First Spinjitzu Master; Heavy Metal overhears this and reveals she's a woman named Faith. She asked if he knows where the Dragon Armor is. Wu pointed to a direction and they set off for the Armor.
When they are approached by Daddy No Legs and Muzzle, the ninja tricked them and were able to tie them up. They stole their vehicles and continued driving toward the armor.
Two Lies, One Truth[]
The Dragon Hunters found Daddy No Legs and Muzzle tied up by Faith and the ninja. They followed them but were defeated when they reached the canyons. The ninja failed to notice a tracking device Jet Jack attached to one of their vehicles.
The ninja reached Oni land and went in to look for the armor. They see the land was abandoned but noticed the gates reveal a map to the Dragon Armor, which is located in Firstbourne's nest.
The Weakest Link[]
The Dragon Hunters stop looking the ninja when they realized they crossed Oni territory. Iron Baron, however, ordered them to cross the land.
When the ninja woke up, Faith handed them chain guns and they start training by chaining up a rock. When they, and Wu, succeeded, they have Wu ride Stormbringer.
When they stopped to look at their map, they realize the Hunters were following them. They were able to defeat them, but Faith has been captured.
Saving Faith[]
The ninja uncovers Faith under the sand but were surrounded by Dragon Hunters. They were tied up, but Wu escapes after recovering his memories. He agrees to take Iron Baron to the Firstbourne's nest to get the Dragon Armor if Iron Baron sends his ninja home, to which Iron Baron agrees. Both of them leave while others remain at camp.
Lessons for a Master[]
After successfully acquiring the Dragon Armor and subsequently the Firstbourne's trust, the ninja and Dragon Master Wu bid farewell to Faith and the other Dragon Hunters before leaving the realm and beginning their journey back to Ninjago on the dragons.
March of the Oni[]
The Darkness Comes[]
Faith and the Firstbourne arrived at Ninjago through a portal, where they fell unconscious near the Monastery of Spinjitzu. A barely conscious Faith whispered to Wu about the Realm of Oni and Dragons being attacked, stating all the Hunters and Dragons were turned to stone by the Oni before she is taken into the monastery to heal.
Endings[]
The Oni arrive at the Realm of Oni and Dragons and are able to easily defeat the dragons and Dragon Hunters. Faith and Firstbourne are the only survivors and flee before the darkness can get them. After the Tornado of Creation was used to defeat the Oni, the darkness was purged from the Realm of Oni and Dragons, freeing the dragons and Dragon Hunters.
Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu[]
The Kaiju Protocol[]
While trying to open a portal to the Never-Realm, Wu and P.I.X.A.L. concluded the Traveler's Tea was not strong enough. They add more leaves, and instead, opened several portals to different realms, including the Realm of Oni and Dragons.
Dragons Rising, Season 1[]
During the Merge, the Realm of Oni and Dragons was merged with the rest of the realms. As a result of this unification, similar to the fate of all realms, the Realm of Oni and Dragons ceased to be recognized as a distinct realm and was renamed the First Land.
At some point following the Merge, Ras hid the Super Storm Jet in the First Land as part of a contingency.[10]
Dragons Rising, Season 2[]
Elements of Betrayal[]
When Nokt abducted Ras and stepped through the portal gate to the Cloud Kingdom, Arin chased after the Forbidden Five. However, just as Arin entered the portal, Nokt destroyed the gate to escape from being followed. This triggered a massive explosion, scattering those who had entered into different lands, leaving Arin and Ras stuck in the First Land. There, Arin set up a campfire and made a promise to help Ras recover, convinced that Ras was his only hope in locating his parents, especially since he felt let down by the ninja who he believed had failed him.
Dragons Rising, Season 3[]
The Ultimate Object of Admiration[]
While roaming around the First Land, Arin met with a family. After joining them in dinner, Arin left the family and went back to their campfire where Ras was. After feeding him, Arin started to train. However, Ras said despite the weeks of training, he is still haven't improved. Hearing this, Arin focused on his anger, remembering how Wu caused the Merge and how he lost his parents, and performed a proper Spinjitzu, pleasing Ras.
Meanwhile, the ninja and Zanth were walking by some cliffs, searching for Arin. Then they saw the path leading to a dark cave and a rocky mountainside. While Zanth and Zane went to the rocky mountainside, Lloyd, Frak, Riyu and Sora went to the cave. While exploring the cave and passing through a small gap, they encounter another one. Frak tries to move some of the rocks with Quake, only for cave to start rumbling. The ninja start running out of the cave and go outside. However, they end up near a cliff, which collapses, causing them to fall down.
After waking up, Lloyd finds himself in a village inhabited by the Dragonians and gets greeted by Tyr who introduces himself to Lloyd and explains some Dragonians found them and brought them. After the others wake up, they travel the village. Sora sees some souvenirs, which tells her that these are an old Oni design. Sora asks what's an Oni, causing Dragonians to fear. Seeing this, Sora was confused. Then Frak and Lloyd how the Oni and Dragons were at war. Lloyd made the assumption that they are currently in the First Land. After this, they decided to ask old Dragonians if they saw Arin. The old Dragonians told them that they drive Arin out of the village, thinking that he was an Oni. Then they included that he is probably dead because of the cyclops, saying how there have been cyclops sightings in the South Woods whilst also including that they sent a Dragonian Hunting Party, but they never came back. Hearing this, the ninja decided to go the South Woods.
In the South Woods, the ninja continues their journey, not knowing that someone is following them. Then they found the Dragonian Hunting Party under a rock. Unfortunately, as they try to save them, Powerlid arrives, introducing himself to the ninja. The ninja tried to fight against him as the mysterious person continued to watch them, only for Powerlid to feel nothing. During the battle, Sora got the bright idea of tricking Powerlid into carrying bigger and bigger rocks, eventually causing him to pass out. However, the mysterious person revealed himself and stole an Oni chalice from Powerlid's treasure, much to the ninja's surprise. Then the ninja saves the Dragonians from the hole. Sora asks one of them if they saw Arin, only for Dragonian to say he has no idea where he is while also pointing the south, thinking that's where Arin. Then the ninja continued their search.
Meanwhile, Arin was carrying Ras in a sled. Ras demanded him to go faster, saying that his injuries are grave and must be healed. Then he told Arin that they should go to the Spectral Lands.
The Spectral Lands[]
In the First Land, Arin trains with Ras. During the training, Arin tries to do Object Spinjitzu but fails. Then he and Ras have a brief talk about the ninja and Wu. When Ras starts coughing, Arin starts carrying him on the sled.
Later, Arin takes Ras to the border where the Spectral Lands is and goes to the Well of the Lost to get the healing elixir that can help Ras. After getting the elixir, they went back to the First Land.
At night, the Forbidden Five arrive at the Storm Village to find Thunderfang's prison. After finding the prison, the Five make a deal with Thunderfang and they bring a Sobrient Stone, the Shatter Dragon gave them. Nokt breaks the gem which corrupted the Dragonian villagers into armored warriors and empowers the Forbidden Five with the ability to fly as Riyu sensed their corruption from far away.
The Great Zane Robbery[]
While continuing their search for Arin, the ninja decides to set up a camp and rest, hoping that Zane is okay.
Meanwhile, Zane continues to search for Arin while riding Zanth. The two spot a Monastery, just like their own and Zane concludes this is the First Land Monastery with its own portal gate. When Zane enters he finds the Freebooters stealing supplies, which Zane recognizes one of objects as a techno-cocoon. Thanks to Zanth, Zane manages to get onto the train and spots the cocoon. Opening the cocoon, Zane finds P.I.X.A.L., who he updates that since the Merge, which was apparently caused by Master Wu the realms have merged. The two are interrupted by Rapton but the pair escape only for Zane to stop Nokt and several dragon warriors flying to them. Hearing Nokt was after a blade, Zane and P.I.X.A.L. went back in where Zane found the red Prismatic Blade, which is similar to one he had previously saw. Zane and P.I.X.A.L. team up with Rapton and the Freebooters to fight Nokt and the Dragonian Warrior but Nokt claims the Prismatic Blade and escapes while having one of his warriors destroy the train controllers to make it go fast and crash. When the train is about to hit a mountain, Zane pulls a cable out of his back on plugs it to the train controllers, stopping the train while also starting to malfunction. P.I.X.A.L rushes to help him as Zane tells her that they should stop the Forbidden Five
I Alone Can Save Them[]
Lloyd, Sora, and Frak continue to follow Riyu, who leads them to Zarkt and the corrupted Dragonian Warriors, including Tyr. When Tyr finds the Ninja, the group learns that the Forbidden Five are hunting for a blade like their Blue Prismatic Blade, but don't know why.
Fallen Wishes[]
While the ninja are examining the Prismatic Blade, Sora and Riyu got teleported by Arrakore to Djinjago. Which left the others in shock.
Later, Arrakore sends Sora and Riyu back to the First Land, where Sora accidentally falls on top of Lloyd. She then starts explaining why Forbidden Five wants the blades for themselves.
Their Draconic Majesty's Request[]
To go back to the Monastery of Spinjitzu, ninja went to the First Land Monastery. Before using the monastery's portal gate, P.I.X.A.L. and Zane had a brief talk, but they stopped when they saw their friends are waiting their conversation to end. After that, they used the portal gate.
Chaos Unchained[]
Thunderfang, in his prison, senses that Drix has acquired the final Prismatic Blades and shouts at the Source Dragons, labeling them as "cosmic frauds" and saying that despite being denied his "deserved" honor, he would soon be free.
After Zane and P.I.X.A.L. increase the power of the portal gate with the machine they made, the ninja goes back to the First Land to stop the Forbidden Five from freeing Thunderfang. They arrived Storm Mountain, noticing the Winds of Chaos and realizing Drix still hasn't arrived. When they finally see Drix coming with the Dragonian Trackers and Ras, Lloyd flies towards them, which surprises Drix. Then, he and the ninja start to fight for the blade. Realizing the ninja are too hard for him to beat, Drix spits a bug out of his mouth, which alerts the rest of Forbidden Five. During the middle of the battle, they arrive and attack the ninja. Drix brings the last two Prismatic Blades to Nokt, but Nokt pushes him aside and takes Ras and his hammer. Rox tries to tell him to focus on the battle, but Nokt ignores her. Nokt frees Ras and gives his hammer back, challenging him to a duel. Arin obtains the last two blades, and Lloyd tells him to go to the monastery. However, Arin noticed Ras being overwhelmed by Nokt, which leads him to help Ras. Right about when Nokt is about to kill Ras, Arin knocks him with the dragon-headed drone and saves Ras. Then he faces Nokt. Seeing this, Lloyd tries to help Arin, only knocked by Rox. While Arin and Nokt are talking, Rox knocks Arin from behind, and Nokt kicks him to the Winds of Chaos.
After the Five reclaim the Prismatic Blades, they fly into the Winds of Chaos to distract the ninja and head into the cave of the Chaos Dragon's prison. The ninja fly in as well, but the winds were too strong. After flying into the tornado, Nokt fires a ball of Brute Force to cause some of the rocks to get caught in the winds. In Thunderfang's prison, Zarkt uses the blue Prismatic Blade to cut the chain of his right hind leg, and Drix uses the Returning Blade to cut the neck harness chain. With Thunderfang free, Rox demands the Chaos powers that he had promised them. However, Thunderfang derided the five animals as fools, expressing his disbelief in their naivety in trusting him and revealing that he never intended to honor his end of the deal. With the five animals shocked and angered by their master's betrayal, Thunderfang proceeds to consume their souls, killing them and having their dead bodies drop on the floor of his prison. With his chains broken, Thunderfang begins to break out of his prison.
The Shatter Dragon[]
The ninja managed to escape from the Winds of Chaos thanks to help from Wyldfyre, only to immediately be confronted by Thunderfang as he broke free from his prison. Although Lloyd was unsure if the ninja could even stop a foe this large, the ninja gave it their all anyway, fighting valiantly against the Shatter Dragon of Chaos until Lloyd's soul was consumed. Arin was able to ultimately defeat the Shatter Dragon by transferring Object Spinjitzu to the bottle of Healing elixir he had been carrying, releasing all the souls Thunderfang had consumed over the millennia. With Thunderfang's death, the unnatural storms plaguing the Merged Lands ceased and the remaining Dragonians were reverted to normal. Arin and Sora then parted ways with the ninja, venturing deeper into the First Land with Ras while the remaining ninja returned to the Monastery of Spinjitzu.
Casket of Bones[]
Drix and the Spectral Dragonians passed through the First Land to arrive to the Spectral Lands.
Chaos Reigns[]
After Thunderfang's defeat, all of the souls returned back to their owners with a soul energy wave throughout the Merged Lands, including the First Land.

Legend[]
"Long before time had a name, there was the Realm of the Oni and the Dragon; the dragon had the power to create, the Oni had the power to destroy. Their war was never-ending. But a child arrived, born of both worlds. The child understood the power of both: without one you could not have the other. But when the Oni and the dragon fought over which side the child should choose, the child abandoned their world to start a new one called "Ninjago." After the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago, he fathered two sons of his own. He thought he could escape the war. He saw the evil of the Oni was awakened to be unleashed in one of his sons—Lord Garmadon! It was up to Master Wu to control his brother's undying thirst to destroy, and with some help, Lord Garmadon was destroyed by the most powerful force of all—the love of his own son." - Mystake
