The Conflict
Prelude
The notorious Wyrm of Chaos, along with his formidable allies, maintained an oppressive and tyrannical grip over the realm of Azlov for the previous two decades, a dark period that has come to be known as the Twenty Year Scourge. Anaq, known as the Wyrm of Chaos, subjugated the people and caused untold suffering. Throughout his reign, Anaq formed alliances with other malevolent forces who joined him, both dragonkin and human, in oppressing the populace, instilling fear and despair in the hearts of the people. To further consolidate his power, Anaq and his allies carried out a relentless campaign to slaughter wild dragons, knowing that these creatures represented the only hope of resistance for the beleaguered humans. Small groups of humans and Ancient Dragonkin tried to fight against Anaq for some time, but to no avail. Eventually, several neighboring human regions and their organizations, such as the Scalebreakers and Sunlit Vanguard, combined into a bigger coalition forming the Dragonguard Alliance. The Ancient Dragonkin noticed this, and some of them approached the Dragonguard with an alliance proposal that having Ancient Dragonkin on their side would make them stronger. They agreed to ally with these Ancients, and in 890, they set out to end Anaq's tyranny. Once the alliance was formed they had a disscussion about their plan of attack. Anaq himself was too big and difficult to deal with by the Dragonguard or the other Ancients alone. So they decided to take out Anaq's allies first before dealing with him directly.
