Rage of Dragons Military Conflict in Arceiron | World Anvil

Rage of Dragons

Once dragons as a race had established themselves, the various religious factions of dragons began to battle one another over their different ideologies.   The Rage of Dragons was a conflict between the draconic followers of Bahamut and Tiamat. In some respects the conflict never ended.   Tiamat was trying to slay her brother and absorb his divinity to eventually ascend from a lesser deity to something greater. She unleashed all sorts of dragonlike beings during the war, breeding warped creatures from her eggs. These entities became known as the Spawn of Tiamat.   To combat Tiamat's aberrant creations, Bahamut created powerful draconic humanoids known as the dragonborn of Bahamut, who served as his emissaries in the mortal realm during the first years of the war.   After losing most of her powers, Tiamat got demoted to an archfiend and banished to The Nine Hells.

The Conflict

Prelude

In the Age before Ages the world was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of gray crags, Archtrees and Everlasting Dragons.   Their numbers were massive and the strongest of them ruled over Arceiron like gods.

Outcome

The majority of dragons got killed during the war.

Aftermath

The dragon population on Arceiron almost went extinct and today only few dragons remain.   As adventurers often hunt dragons for their treasure, most of them retreated to remote areas or hidden lairs.
