Historical Details

History

The origins and contents of the Dragonstone remain shrouded in mystery. Its authorship and the exact nature of its message have eluded historians. The discovery of the Dragonstone predates the onset of the Wyrm of Chaos' extensive period of oppressive rule, a period that lasted for decades. Some scholars believe that the emergence of the Dragonstone may have played a role in triggering the tyrannical reign of the Wyrm of Chaos, while others think it was a warning about his reign of suffering and the inevitable war to come. Interestingly, the wyrm never made any direct reference to the Dragonstone during his reign of terror.   During the tyrannical rule of the Wyrm of Chaos, numerous individuals observed that the structure of the tablet bore a striking resemblance to the shape of the Amberstone, which was actively utilized by the Wyrm of Chaos and his associates during that period. This observation led some to speculate that the tablet contained instructions pertaining to an unknown capability of the Amberstone and how it could be harnessed. Despite this speculation, nobody succeeded in deciphering the text or in retrieving the Amberstone from the possession of the Wyrm of Chaos and his allies.   During the beginning of the Draconian War, the Ancient Dragonkin formed an alliance with the newly established Dragonguard Alliance. It was during this time that this mysterious artifact was brought to their attention. Despite their formidable knowledge and abilities, the Ancients were unable to decipher the enigmatic markings inscribed on the stone, as it was not in their native language Draakhn. Strangely, the tablet was eventually safeguarded and set aside during the tumultuous war, only to be discovered missing once the conflict had subsided. Despite extensive efforts, the elusive tablet could not be located, sparking widespread concern and speculation about its mysterious disappearance.
