One of the first creations of the gods was that of the dragons. The first dragons were close to gods themselves and were gifted the power of creation itself. They crafted great things and wondrous places.

When gods fought it was their own dragons that bore the brunt of the fighting and their losses extreme. The dragons learned as well that each generation was weaker than the last. By the dawn of the second epoch only a handful of truly godlike dragons still rode the skies and some of their distant progeny had even lost the ability to speak. Truly the time of dragons had passed.

There was also the fear that the void would manage to snare another of the first so the eldest of them dug deep into the the earth or climbed to the heights of the great mountains to sleep. And wait.

Dragons can be found in every environ and even the youngest is an extreme threat to all but the most prepared group.

I leave now my children but in my dreaming you will find me. When the sky breaks and the stars fall my heart will beat again and I will join you again. Protect that which is ours until we are whole again.
