History
Even the greatest of kings tell tales of the most noble of elven kingdoms, the first kingdom of Erui. A grand society carved into the mountains by the very roots of the trees that inhabit it. Each home taking decades to create, but lasting for generations of elves to live within its carefully molded branches. Atop this society was a great queen, perched in a beautiful Baoba. She wanted for nothing but to make her endless life enjoyable. Perhaps at one point her motives were pure. She held great feasts for her subjects, lavish with the wealth of the hunt, and the freshest of catches from the rivers in the valley her home overlooked. Over time however, she grew bored of the lavish affairs, and started digging the roots of her home deeper into the mountain, trying to find something more interesting within the world instead of atop it.
Her roots dug deep, and the deeper they became, the more the earth shook, and the less she gave to her people. She always wished for more, and as such, she did what she could to find it. Deep beneath the earth she pulled out a great gemstone into her home, and kept it there. She dug further still, conscripting more of the elves to dig, and as more materials were found, the more she kept them away from her people. Food became scarce, housing was ignored and her people grew unruly. As her subjects dropped like flies within her ever expanding hole in the deep, she herself became greedy enough to pick up a pick, and dig further into the earth than even any dwarf.
As the queens hole deepened, her beautiful exterior gave way to scales. As her pick shattered stone and precious mineral alike, her hands became claws, and after sleeping on her vast hoard of wealth while her subjects starved below her great tree, great bat like wings broke out to allow her to move her hoard to even more impossible a sight for her subjects to take it. She grew to great size when she encountered deep beneath the surface of the earth, a great river of gold, and she was so sure that her own subjects were going to take it from her, that she flew out of the caves as a great dragon, using the flames from deep within the earth, set fire to the world around her, casting out her people to live with her only calling. That of the riches from the depths.
It is this warning from our past that we remember humility and charity above all, as the only way to slay a dragon before it becomes dangerous, is to prevent it from groing in the first place. Treat nature with kindness, treat others with kindness, and it too will provide.
