The Oath of Peace

Having lost their mounts, the Dragonlords commissioned a fleet of warships and took to the seas. The greatest of these ships was called The Ultros, captained by one Estor Arkelander. He is said to have sailed into the very depths of the underworld where Lutheria sleeps upon her diamond throne. The other Dragonlords are said to have ascended Phraxys, the Tower of Sydon, where the he Lord of Storms watches all.   Many songs are sung of the trials and troubles of the Dragonlords, but few can say what actually transpired during their final journey into the perils of The Forgotten Sea. The priests of Mytros watched for signs of the impending apocalypse. On the night of the winter solstice, when Thylea doom seemed near, the boiling seas suddenly calmed and the nightmares ended.   Some days later, a black ship sailed into the harbor of Mytros, carrying the bodies of many of the Dragonlords. The ship was captained by Damon, a powerful wizard who had served the Dragonlords during The First War. He was mortally wounded, but he uttered not a single word. He delivered three precious items to the The Temple of the Five, and then vanished in his ship, along with the bodies and arms of his fallen masters.   One of the items that Damon carried was a scroll of parchment, upon which was written The Oath of Peace . This Oath was cause for great celebration. Sydon and Lutheria had sworn not to take vengeance upon the mortals of Thylea for a period of 500 years, provided that daily sacrifices to The Titans should resume, and that their temples should be maintained and honored.
