Prologue
Dragoenia, planet populated by tens of thousands of creatures most different from each other. Some creatures were gigantic in size, while others were so tiny you never thought they existed. The first intelligent creatures were the dragons, Some legends say that the first continent that was created was a dragon. It was said that when there were earthquakes it was the dragon that twitched
its muscles. When the volcanoes erupted it was the dragon himself who spat his fire. Nearly fifteen thousand years after the appearance
of dragons, it was the turn of a tiny creature to make its
appearance. These beings so small who lived in a world of
giants were endowed with superior intelligence and extreme
curiosity managed to survive in this world filled with danger
and monsters lurking in the shadows. It is in these
circumstances that they received their name, the humans
which meant curious creature in the language of the dragons.Centuries
passed, humans scattered to the three corners of Dragoenia, shaping the three kingdoms. Over time three distinct races appeared on Dragoenia.The Men, these medium sized beings always looking for new inventions were divided into two groups, some wanted peace and harmony inventions were divided into two groups, some wanted peace and harmony on Dragoenia and while
others sought power and control the three kingdoms.The elves physically resembled their man and women cousins, except for their large
pointed ears which allowed them to be on the lookout for the
dangers of living in the forest.They were always in quest of
knowledge on the animals and the universe which surrounded
them, they had a more slender body than the other races, surely
to move better in the forest with their athletic prowess. The elves
lived in complete harmony with their environment which gave
them a certain disdain towards humans who wanted to control
mother nature and especially the dwarves who shaped the rock and their soil
although most the tools used by the peasants of Dragoenia were either made by the dwarves or the metal came from the bowels of the
mountain of the dwarven kingdom. Being hard workers,
the dwarves preferred to live in the caves of the mountain
so they could be close to their spoils, the wealth of stones.
But under their features of rock and their hearts of steel
hid a community that loved to laugh and feast with theirs
for days, having on the menu of festivities: alchohols and foods.
as they wanted.The dwarves were very different from their neighbors elves and the men. Some dwarfs could be almost half the height of an elf but were as wide as two, which allowed them to move better in the stone tunnels. The dwarves are fervent lovers of rock, capable of handling it and shaping it to do with it as they please. The boastfulness of this people displeased the other races,

Since the beginning of time, the dragons and the three kingdoms lived in peace as well as the three races were able to rub shoulders despite their differences in point of view and their egos, the big question was: Which race appeared on Dragoenia first? The more time progressed, the more humans became numerous and appropriated the parts of Dragoenia, which reduced the food for the
dragons. The dragons began to eat the humans' herds of cows, goats and other animals. Those hardly appreciating what the dragons made
met to discuss it. The elves wanted to talk with the dragons
to find common ground, maybe to have herds just for the
dragons. The dwarves, too stubborn, did not want to hear
anything, it wasnecessary to prevent the dragons from coming
nearthe villages, It was necessary to build citadels in rocks
and steel. And men, they knew very well all that they could
create with a dead dragon! Weapons with metal, teeth and claws, armors
and houses with hides and bones, in addition how many peasants could we feed with only the meat of a dragon, how to imagine with several dragons. Negotiations lasted several months, the extent of the damage that the dragons were doing increased. Under an eventful full moon night Warfden King-of-Rocks, Faljor-for King-of-Elves and Slagor-King-of-Men agreed, the dragons had to be exterminated. The pact was
sealed, the thunder rumbled in the sky, the lights sprang from the clouds and a torrential rain was already preparing the ground. For the
first time Dragoenia would cry. It was the bloodiest era
Dragoenia had known. Dwarves,elves and men attacked and
killed the dragons thatapproached the villages, for the first
time the three kingdoms helped each other, cooperated and
shared together, all working in unison to build weapons and
new technologies to bring down the dragons. But after a while the fewer and
fewer dragons began to retaliate against this violence against them, razing several villages but the much more numerous and sophisticated humans countered the attacks easily with giant crossbows and mobile catapults crushing them. The Dragonian War, as the ancients called it, lasted nearly three decades and would have repercussions for centuries to come. In a fit of desperation more than two hundred of the last dragons
attacked the last standing villages. Fire, metal, wind, air and water blending uniformly into one element that goes desperately into the
firmament. Seeing this army of mass destruction, the dwarves,
men and elves retaliated by sending nearly five thousand
troops to the heart center of the dragon kingdom. At their
head Slagor King-of-Men used the lumberjacks of the kingdom
to be able to build rolling cabins so that the dwarves of
Warfden King-of-Rocks could build weapons and armor
continuously and so the elves of Filia-Dam Princess-of-Elves could
relentlessly kill the last dragons. The wheel was closed fate had struck, the Dragon Grandmother was slain by the last hero of the Warfden battlefield King-of-Rocks. Legend has it that he saved the princess from the elves and killed the grandmother with his own hands, according to Filia-Dam. Alas, every epic battle has its share of misfortune King Slagor was killed during his battle against the black
dragon Nastafar. The Dragonian War was over, the Age of the Dragons was in the past. Dragoenia was heartbroken and her cries could be
heard. From this battle an unexpected phenomenon occurred.
The mixture of the sulfur of dragons and the blood of humans
produced a gas above the center-heart of the old dragons.
The cloud of a greenish color grew larger as the years passed.
We are now in the year twenty-four, After the Dragons. Fear
is settling back into the villages near the forbidden land,the
cloud is advancing at anunprecedented pace. Some report seeing animals
transformed, howls tore the night apart. Many villagers were reported missing, never to be found or died in terrible suffering. Several villagers had started their great march towards Castle Slagor to find help and comfort from the good King Aktor and Queen Armantine. In the
Stone Kingdom, King Warfden had never recovered from battle, now lying and near death. The water near the mountain was turning
into a swamp, nothing grew there, several dwarves became
intoxicated. In the forest certain conflicts between generations
were degenerating due to a major difference in opinions.
Meanwhile at Castle Slagor it was not easy, with the making
of the celebrations of an event as unexpected and unusual
that the high authorities of all the kingdoms were impatiently awaiting: The birth of a royal baby,under a full moon!
