History

Dawn of the Dragon Gods

In Toriel's ancient past, like the other dragons of that era, Nozdormu would gather under the command of Talonixa to combat Zuth. Zuth, a primordial dragon afflicted by a disease, grew stronger with every dragon he consumed.   Alexstrasza, Ysera and Malygos joined with Nozdormu and Neltharion, two other powerful dragon, to hunt Zuth once and for all. Forcing him to retreat in a cavern were all five dragon, except for Ysera, began the battle against Zuth, who had grown larger and even more mutated than before.   With a flap of wings, Zuth called up a massive wind that scattered the fighters. Ysera suddenly appeared and Zuth attempted to devour her, but Neltharion silenced his laughter with a mighty blow, pulled Zuth to the ground and began to mercilessly beat him even as Zuth began mutating further.   In the battle, Zuth ripped Neltharion lower jaw, Malygos moved to save him, examining the bloody mess as Zuth roared in triumph and grew ever larger. This bolstered the fighter, that, in a final attempt to protect everything they held dear, and blessed by the three dragon gods, banished Zuth from existence.   After such a feat, the five dragons were blessed with godly power and agreed to protect Toriel. By channeling the power of the three dragon gods, they were able to ascend to godhood themselves.  

The War of the Ancients

During the war of the ancients when the demons opened a portal to the material plane to allow their armies access to the world of Toriel, the dragon god congregated at the lair of Alexstrasza to discuss the coming invasion and what part they should play in defending the world. Neltharion proposed that to end the invasion of demons, the dragon gods should create a weapon with which they could eradicate the Demon armies. Nozdormu adamantly refused to participate in the creation of such a weapon.   Nozdormu was captured by the goddess of Death, who could feel her incomming demise. Nozdormu spoke the truth to her, revealing that her downfall was imminent. However, he warned that it would not result in her demise but in a fate worse than death itself.   Nozdormu quietly waited as the goddess's prisoner, until Neltharion betrayal pushed him to confront the goddess alongside Vanadon, killing her and freeing him.   A few years later, the war still raging, the demon managed to steal the weapon created by Neltharion. In a desperate bid to distract the demons and reclaim the artifact, Neltharion devised a plan to relocate Alexstrasza, whom he had captured previously.   Fortunately, intervention from the other dragon gods led to Alexstrasza's liberation. Additionally, the Dragon soul was wrested from both the demons and Neltharion by Nozdormu who hoarded it, judging the artifact too dangerous. As a result, the demonic armies were swiftly defeated.   Nozdormu placed an enchantment upon the elves, who were the most remarkable of mortal troops during the war. The elves would now age incredibly slowly.
