The War of Yes'dara

History:

When the first explorer discovered Trassel, it was an untamed continent. Wild beasts, wandered the lands, and the indigenous people treated all outsiders a threat. The first years in what would be considered the First Era, were filled with bloodshed, but soon understanding. As the explorers brought with them strange magic, and magnificent item, they came to an understanding and began a great friendship with the locals. One hundred years after the first arrival, the city of Talakar was finished, and the people flourished.

However this peace was not to last, as the arrival of the foreigners had awoken something. It is not known what caused the attack. Historians believe that the indigenous people served the beasts, and made offerings to them as one would a god, which ceased when the explorer came. Some believe that Trassel was built on an ancient breeding ground. What is known, is that when they came, the dragons destroyed half of Talakar, and set the rest ablaze.

Led by an ancient blue dragon named Yes’Dara, the dragons struck with precision, slaying many that first day. What records we have say there were close to fifty dragons of all different colors, both chromatic and metallic.

This bloody war pit the dragons against the explorer and the natives of Trassel in two hundred year war. Reinforcements arrived periodically for the mortals, and with the aid of the native Dwarves and Elves, they were able to hold off the onslaughts, eventually taking down several of the largest dragons including the mate of Yes’Dara. With her mate slain, the dragons bowed to the mortal’s power, after having lost well over thirty of their kind in the war.

The Legend:  

As a peace offering, the ancient dragons offered one egg of theirs to the mortals, in which they imbued their powers. Granting mere mortals the ability to respond in kind, if the dragons were to ever attack. It is rumored that when great warriors use the egg, they are granted the abilities of the dragon which imbuned the egg.

However the chromatic dragons of the land were less willing to go along with this plan, and left the island completely. A chromatic dragon has not been sighted in the land since.

It is rumored that the heroes of the war, decided that these items were to powerful, and must be hidden. So the set off in different directions to hide away their respective egg, and would never meet again, as to not betray their location.
