Year 3998-5656: The Age of Chrysophax the Great, King in Blue, Chrysophax hatched from a guarded egg in the Luxor temple of the Ten. Carefully raised by a joint committee of Cult and Priesthood, he went on to establish the Sapphire Dynasty, declaring himself and all future incarnations of himself to be protectors of Draconyt. During his reign he was forced to defend his realm from incursions by the Red, Green and White dragons. To combat them he released the secret knowledge of drake-binding to the priesthood and groomed a squadron of drake-riders as his Dragonguard. He reigned for 1658 years, dying in battle with the dragon Krahvulon the conqueror. It took his successor 13 years to return to his throne.
Year 5669-7573: The Age of Sahqonah the Eldest, King in Blue, began with Sahqonah rushing to reclaim his throne. In his absence, the Dragonriders had declared martial law and jointly ruled with the cult of Tiamat and the Priesthood of Bahamut in his stead called the Triarchy. With his return, the tensions in Draconyt were relaxed, but not for long. A series of raids from the Jade Empire tested the young Dragon, forcing him to develop a standing army and navy. To incentivize the lower classes into recruitment, a rank system was implemented, guarantying a pension upon retirement and respect from the ruling classes. This innovation resulted in increased stability amongst the populace but came at the cost of power from Sahqonah. In the year 7231, settlers from Pallen began claiming land along the Northern and Western Coast. Hostilities would have broken out, were it not for diplomacy of several admirals and generals with Pallen; drafting a treaty that ensured that each community was neither ruled by Pallen nor Draconyt, but to exist as independent city states. This treaty was ratified and approved by the Triarchy, who themselves presented the treaty to Sahqonah. Sahqonah was enraged by this circumvention of his authority, but when told that any assault he undertook against the free cities would be without support or protection, he withdrew to his newly crafted lair in the desert and brooded. Over time, he returned to his people and ruled, albeit with a stiff merciless justice, never forgetting those who betrayed his trust. He was lost in the great Sandstorm of 7573, whilst trying to find its cause. His remains were never found.
