Those who remain of the old dragons live as fugitives, hiding from the ever–growing reach of man. Our mute brothers and sisters are now enslaved, forced to labor and serve the very kind who robbed them of their greatness.
These new dragons were mute and devoid of intelligence, but most importantly, their heart stones were dim and empty. In order to thwart their efforts to subvert our race, our ancestors withheld the Awakening from the next generation of dragons.Ī new kind of dragon was born. They thought they could harvest the stone from our young. Our numbers diminished at an alarming rate and man started to breed us like common cattle. We dragons were hunted down-some were killed, others captured. They granted unbelievable power and unnaturally long life to the possessor. Men sought a most rare and precious treasure: the heart stones of dragons. Then what we had shared with them was turned against us. This delicate balance shifted when man gave in to their greatest failing-greed. Man and dragon lived in peace, working side by side for the benefit of all. We shared our knowledge and wisdom of the earth, healing, metal work, and many other things.
We reached out to the young race of man to offer our guidance. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.Ī thousand years ago, our kind made a fatal mistake.
