The world was different once. Dragons soared in the skies and aided the kingdom of man. The Empire prospered, magic was in a time of resonance, the Imperial army kept peace and order throughout the realm, and the Dragoknight Legion at its head was beloved by all. So it was for an age. That age has died. Pride and apathy seeped into the ruling hearts of the Empire, like a slow venom, which poisoned man's bond with Dragonkind, and eventually, sundered it entirely. The once-honored Dragoknight legion is scattered, scorned and abandoned by its people. The hearts of the Empire are torn between ancient magic and new technology. The roads and wilderness are no longer safe as the army which once policed it has dwindled or been replaced by little more than mercenaries of the crown. In this time of weakness and uncertainty, an unknown evil gathers its forces. In this time of conflicting ideology, the old places of magical power grow tainted. While the crumbling sound of the Empire's torpid fall goes unheeded by rulers consumed with their own egotism, all manner of foul creatures freely plunder its villages. In this new and desperate age, man's most powerful allies slumber, and only one hope remains. But who can awaken the Dragons?
