Many millennia ago, two societies of dragons lived in peace. The dragons of the lush and luminous Mushroom Wood, and the dragons of Chilled Wood way up in the snowy floating island just above them. They were simply neighbors that trusted each other enough to let any dragons from the other society come to visit and even trade with them. It was prosperous for a very long while. Until he came. This began the Era of Oppression. A horrible time that both societies would rather forget.
After serving Mushroom Wood as Alpha for many, many millennia, Draegest finally passed away of old age. This left the entire community under panic and disarray, the higher ranked dragons deciding to set up a voting system to decide a new alpha. But one abnormally powerful and young dragon in particular, Igneus, burst into the meeting and caused chaos throughout the settlement until things went his way. Easily opposing all those that challenged him, he sat atop the Alpha's tree while ripping the petition in half and proudly announcing his dominance. Things only got worse from here.
He remained in power for a mere 100 years, only trying to expand his territory by starting a war with the residents of Chilled Wood. Reluctantly, they sent their attack under the command of Igneus. Chilled Wood's alpha, Miraa, sent her strongest fighters and hunters to resist the attack. Mushroom Wood lost, but barely. Both clans ended up devastated in the end, and the residents of the High Island lost all trust in Mushroom Wood. And the residents beneath were too timid to bother asking for forgiveness.
Even after Igneus was overthrown by a powerful dragon that would become the current alpha to replace him, they would still never be forgiven. But soon, they will have to team up. For Igneus himself is back on the rise after many centuries. And he vigorously trained himself over the span of that time. He may even have an army with him.
A new war is about to begin.
