1604: Swearing to the Dragon
Tenma, the White Rabbit, an insect person, Yakumo
Hakurei, the God of Makai, Kuuko, Douji, etc.. Only like half of them are official, but..
This is a little long but it's summarized from Perfect Memento.
"Dragons. They're said to look like snakes with horns and hands whose girth exceeds those of trees that have lived thousands of years, and are long enough to cover the sky."
"The last time a dragon was seen was when the Hakurei Border was cast. The skies were covered in lightning and rain, and for a short while, the world was cast into darkness."
"When the sages of the youkai swore an oath of peace to the dragon on their own lives, in an instant the rain stopped, the skies parted, and light was returned to the earth."
