For centuries past there has been a violent and bloody battle between humans and dragons. In this empty battle every dragon that was killed meant an entire village would burn as penance. To avenge that the humans would kill yet another dragon and so on it would go. Generation after generation of humans were taught to hate and kill the winged creatures, they were told that the dragons were soulless creatures incapable of thinking of anything other than killing the innocent. Dragons were taught that humans were violent creatures, incapable of learning or understanding and so the battle continued without any end in sight.
After near a millennium of endless battles a peace meeting was called between the leaders of both the dragons and the humans, victory they realized would never come to either side and so they had decided to end the futile fighting and instead forge a peace that would last just as long. The Treaty of Ceret was signed, promising peace that would outlast the ages.
In the few months after the treaty was signed the humans discovered much about their hated foes, the dragons were discovered to be one of the most intelligent species on this earth, rivalling even humans. Dragons, through their magic have discovered the ability to shift into a human like form with one exception, their eyes for one are usually of an unnatural colour that matches the colour of their scales. In this human form the dragon cannot fly but they still poses their fire breathing ability. Most dragons have used this form to appear less threatening to the humans and to communicate their desire for peace.
A year after the treaty was signed, to mark the end of the battle between dragons and humans and to celebrate the beginning, a marriage was arranged between the two species. In three weeks, on the anniversary of the signing of the treaty, the second prince of the Kingdom of Asiali and the daughter of the Elder Clan of the dragons will be married as, not only a symbol, but a conformation that the peace so longed for by both sides has actually been established.
The daughter of the Elder Clan has arrived in the Capitol of Asiali and even though it has been a year since the treaty was signed, people still harbour hatred, fear, and distrust for the creatures that once burned their crops and slaughtered many of their people, and who are now among them living as ordinary beings. There are many who would do anything to prevent this marriage from taking place, many would even resort to murder. The peace is precariously balanced on the edge of war and if this marriage crumbles so will the foundation on which it stands.
