A COSTLY VICTORY


Descending on the Legions of Chaos like thunderbolts, the Dragons of Harmony scattered the onrushing hordes like leaves in the wind.

The armies of the people of Elcriss took heart, and rallied to the sides of their shining saviors. As the armies did battle, the Dragons of Chaos drew near, shrieking in rage and hatred at the Avatar Dragons. The ensuing battle was cataclysmic, and threatened to tear the world asunder in its fury. Entire realms were razed and laid waste to, and zounds of people and creatures on both sides died, and the Sun and the Moon fell from the sky. But the Dragons of Harmony proved stronger, and the terrible Dragons of Chaos began to be driven off, pushed back, and even destroyed as the battle raged on.

Finally, with the remaining people of the Armies of Elcriss courageously fighting through fear and death and suffering, the once-mighty Legions of the Chaos Lord began to break and flee. Howling back into the Void, the Daemons and Xeron fled, along with the few remaining Dragons of Chaos that had been wounded terribly in their battles. The Dragons of Harmony pursued them and destroyed most as they tried desperately to escape back through the gates that only creatures touched by the Chaos Lord could cross into. These gates the Dragons furiously smashed, and learned to recognize so they could search for and cast down more like them in all the deep places of the world.

Victory had been won, but at what cost!

In the aftermath of the War of Dragons, things were forever radically changed. The realms were shattered, and entire civilizations and the greatest cities had been wiped off of the face of the world. Many of the Dragons that remained were terribly wounded, and retreated to the wild places of the world to slumber and try to recover from their grave injuries. So many people had died, and so many more were injured, that it would take a very long time to make a recovery from the catastrophic war.
