Dragon

Behold the wings of death beating near with fangs like swords and claws that cut through stone. For when it arrives it reigns death from the sky through fire that engulfs all. - Heldon, son of Demor

Dragons were feared throughout the world as beasts the could destroy cities in a day and bring entire armies to heel. These once many, they all but gone now as they were hunted down one by one throughout the world. It was believed that Dageth was the original homeland of the dragons in ancient times. A time when the Dwarves were the sole rulers of the continent long before the arrival of the Elves. The dragons during that time would begin a massive conflict with them as their riches attracted their attention and began attacking their holds for them. Leading to the Dragon Wars that would last for centuries. Though the Dwarves were lead to the brink of extinction by these massive beasts, they quick gain the advantage as black powder was discovered and weapons used to break through their hides. Ultimately wiping all of them out in time. But dragons were not all gone some were still found across the world and would become infamous as they reigned carnage through the centuries. But they would all succumb to death in the end. Dragons are considered extinct now as not a single one has been seen in a millennia and a half now.
