Zeymia

What happens when the dragons decide they've had enough of our cities and towns? Well... 237 years ago we found out... Pure chaos and destruction, that's what happens. We called it the Dragon Cataclysm and it was horrific. Towns, villages, and even cities were razed to the ground by dragons of all colors. Only a few managed to survive the onslaught. It is said that the dragons were punishing us for our use of magic, their magic, and that we brought the dragon's wrath upon ourselves. Others say that the dragons became greedy and wanted our wealth or maybe they viewed us as a threat. It doesn't matter which is true... What does matter is that for 236 years and 11 moons we have managed to keep the dragons content and haven't incurred their collective wrath again. Oh, and if you ever come across a dragon, under no circumstance should you run from it! First, you must place out your offering for the beast and if it is to the dragon's satisfaction only then should you flee. By doing this, you might save more than just your life. After all, it takes a village to keep a dragon happy but only one to anger them...
