Myth of Black Crystal
Long, long ago there was a pair of young dragons, Zatha, and her mate, Endrem. They helped the humans build a grand city, it is said dragon magic can do wondrous things with architecture. Once the city was built a band of the humans got a little too greedy. They had heard tales of other humans killing dragons. Intrigued by the glory it would bring them, they hunted. They caught Endrem off guard, although he fought and killed some of the humans, there were too many and he was overwhelmed. Zatha sensed a commotion but arrived too late. Her revenge was swift and destructive. In her anger she flattened the city and killed all the city dwellers. In her grief she collected some of Endrem's scales, curled up around them, and mourned. In the morning there was a strange purple tinted black crystal where the scales once were. Zatha created a small shrine in the middle of the city and left. The humans eventually moved back into the city, built over it, and forgot this ever happened.
