The Dragon War

The people of Zol had little time to situate themselves after The Undoing before the first of their great challenges began. Once cities were built, the growing population of sapient creatures drew the attention of the Chromatic Dragons. The children of Zelatt, The Draconic Amalgam.

These Dragons claimed The Three Corners of Civilization to be their native land, and that all who trespassed now belonged to them. The evil nature of Chromatic Dragons mixed with the desperate situation of Zol’s people made for a long drawn out war. The Dragons were few in number, but extremely powerful. They began by ’toying’ with the population as if it were some sick game to them.

The Humans quickly devised a way to train dragon slayers armed with uniquely long spears, grappling hooks, and heavy bows. Their tactics spread quickly across Zol, turning the conflict into an evenly matched bout.

After a time, arcanists began to discover the nature of their foe. Acting almost like a hive of bees. The Chromatic Dragons, as children of Zelatt they only sought to create chaos for their mother to feed upon. It seemed the war was carefully crafted to last as long as it could.

The war dragged on for a millennium. It wasn’t until Metallic Dragons sent by Ayamot to aid the people of Zol turned the tide. The Metallic Dragons were even fewer in number than the Chromatic Dragons, but their paired efforts allowed them to defeat the majority of the Chromatic Dragons. The few who remained scattered across Zol to hide, and Zelatt was forced into an eternal slumber by Ayamot.
