Death Of Harashagan

Life, Death

Harashagan was a kingly dragon who rallied his unruly kin together with a skill and zeal unmatched by any other. Fierce, brave, and proud, Harashagan was idealized by other dragons and universally respected. Valiantly, he fought at the doorstep of a sacred grove and refused to yield to an overwhelming Titan assault.

Harashagan’s death had a profound effect on the dragons. As one of the Skylords, Harashagan had existed since the beginning. He was unmatched by anything on the face of Laruna as he had been born purely by the will of the Elder God. The other Skylords saw his death as an unacceptable atrocity and immediately set a plan in motion to change their war tactics. United in their grief, the dragons forsook their protective impulses and scorched the land of Laruna in half, meeting and exceeding the Titans destructive ways. Great portions of land were destroyed and crumbled into the sea. The remaining territory was divided by a huge barren wasteland, a now bisecting ashen strip many miles in width and length. Retreating to the east, the dragons set to work on creating a brood of their own. The brood would help keep the Skylords from consistently engaging the Titans in person, decreasing the possibility of further losses like Harashagan. The damage done by the Skylords, however, gave the Titans and their creators pause. The possibility that these creatures not only could, but would, do such horrendous damage to the Elder God’s dream was unimaginable. This forced the Titans to give thought to how they would survive such ruin and still have a land worth fighting for. Much like their creators the Titans decided to breed children for the express purpose of withstanding dragon-fire and marching unrelentingly towards victory. Their hope was that an army of servants resistant to dragon-fire would dissuade the Skylords from doing such catastrophic damage to the land as it would no longer benefit their war effort. When the Titans and their children, the Ashik, finally marched across the burnt lands to the east they were greeted by dragons and legions of their Garaith creations. The war of the Second Age reached a fevered pitch that threatened to ruin the last of Laruna, perhaps even destroying the Dreamcatcher. Filled with grief, the Young Gods decided they could no longer risk letting the war continue. They turned to the Voice and begged the Elder God for assistance. At the Voice’s command, the young gods held the Dreamcatcher to the head of the sleeping Elder God and watched as an endless host of Descendants entered Laruna and waged war against Titans and dragons alike. Armed with seemingly limitless numbers and the power of the Elder God, the Descendants crushed both wounded armies, restoring peace to Laruna for the first time since the beginning of the Second Age.
