History

The hills served as the dragon's home around 4000 years ago. In general, it didn't actually attack or threaten the Kingdom of Saint Oxford. It was visible to everyone in the Kingdom simply sleeping there and drinking from the river. It occasionally takes off, but it always comes back. The Kingdom gave him the name Slumber Dragon.

Many adventurers and adventuring parties did make an attempt to slay the Slumber Dragon. Unless he was absent, no one ever returned. There was never any evidence of the adventurers when scouts and other people went to find out what had happened to them. The king thought it was a great hunt for people to attempt and due to this he never sent in the troops to fight the dragon and instead left the Dragon alone. This allowed the dragon to create a larger horde and for the great hunt to be created. The monarch even provided a generous award for this great hunt. With these new rewards, a lot more adventurous souls and others would attempt to eliminate the dragon. There would never be any indication of what had really occurred or what happened to courageous people. Just Slumber sleeping away.

A young hunter went out searching one late night for his prey. During the middle of his hunt, he noticed something way above him. It was SlumberĀ  flying high above them. The hunter used his magical talent Zoom Eyes. To focus in on Slumber, as he was so far away. He saw that Slumber was carrying what looked like be massive gold ingot. Slumber made it back very quickly to his hills. It took the hunter an hour and a half to get in range of sight of it. All he could see was this Slumber dozing off; nowhere could he find a massive gold ingot. So he decided to stay out of sight and watched him.

The hunter was ready to pack it up on the fifth night. At that point, a band of explorers attacked. They were destroyed They were taken out by Slumber as if he were accompanying them on a park stroll. Slumber then started scanning the area once more. Fortunately, the hunter had already set up, and he had camouflaged himself and his scent. Slumber did give him a brief glance his way. Which gave the hunter quite a scared but luckily he was not discovered. Then suddenly Slumber snatches the dead bodies before sinking into the earth. The hunter waits a little bit then heads over to where Slumber disappeared. He now observes a hole that extends deep into the ground and notes that most of the ground appears to have been shifted lately, but rather due to sight alterations in the hills. The hunters guess that the dragon has an underground horde.

The hunter dashes back to town and tells the adventurous Guild and anyone else who would listen about what he witnessed. So everyone agreed that the dragon needed to be slain. So they could claim the wealth. The adventurers were fully utilized after with king's mobilized army. The dragon was defeated after a prolonged combat, that cost a good set of lives. The ground was filled in. So they began excavating in numerous locations, each of which revealed a cavern. These caverns led into a network of tunnels that barrel deep into the Elema. Some of the spots were caved in, some weren't, and each one might contain a hidden treasure. The dragon was obviously cunning since it lured monsters and other creatures inside its lair to keep away intruders. Due to the fact that there are numerous monsters of various varieties here and some that aren't even from this continent. academians guess that the dragon put them there but nothing can be proven. After taking this dragon den over 2000 years ago, they are continuously uncovering more riches and digging deeper.
