Legend tells that during the time before the empires two powerful dragons waged war across the land, a powerful golden dragon Xeanth and a jealous silver dragon Qennath. Qennath was angered that Xeanth was blessed with golden scales and plotted against him, creating the first empire. The golden dragon countered him and created one of his own. The two dragons are mentioned only briefly during scripture and suddenly vanishied, historians question the existance of the dragons.
