In the year 610 2E, it is discovered that massive Esperite troves exist upon the Lizardfolk Isles in the tropical southern reaches of the world. Elven Dragonriders take action to plunder these troves, and meet resistance from the indigenous Lizardfolk. The king of the Elven Kingdom, Quelath, orders all resistance to be exterminated. The Elves answer the Lizardfolk in dragonfire. The Lizardfolk are killed by the thousands, and more die as the forest catches fire, burning despite the tropical moisture due to the sheer heat of the dragonflames. These forest fires cause more death to the Lizardfolk, as their villages and homes were built among the trees, and the fires leapt through the jungle canopy faster than even a dragon could fly. What Lizardfolk were left were few, perhaps less than 100 people, and scattered into hiding.
Oremar was only a child when this happened, and miraculously survived. This event is what spurned his ambition, and lead him to discover Oremars Theorem, as well as cleanse the world of sorcerers and dragons.
