Iredrak Confederacy
The Iredrak Confederacy (Draconic: Irral'ias'draken lit. 'First Among Dragons') is an alliance of Drak Pralora tribes in eastern Innulthac. The alliance was formally established by the terms of the Falwyn's Mire Entente at the end of the War of the Spider.
History
The Drak Pralora first appeared in the continent of Innulthac near the tail end of the Dracomachy, following the death of the black greatwyrm Ereshkigal. What began as a collection of hunter-gatherer tribes developed into an continent-spanning civilization, though the dragonborn never sought to claim the swamps of the east controlled by the black dragons from whom they were descended.
These dragonborn ruled the northern island for several millennia, building several cities and establishing trade relations internally as well as externally with the duergar of Bennoth Mond to the west and the Eladrin of Shandalar to the south.
This changed once Lolth and her legions of drow crossed the Dead Sea into Innulthac, being driven north by the Quorel'hrim Kingdom at the end of the Drow War. The drow, having just come off a major conflict, were prepared to fight for this new territory, while the Drak Pralora, who lived in relative peace for millennia, were unprepared to defend their cities from the invaders. The drow drove the black dragonborn out of their cities, pushing them west toward the swamps where their black dragon ancestors lived. The black dragons, slighted by this aggression against their kin, joined the battle and slaughtered the already weakened dark elves, pushing the invaders back to a stalemate in the area of Falwyn's Mire.
