The Reawakening of Malnaar

The Dragon's Return, 1100 years after the imprisonment of Malnaar, during a time when the kingdoms were enjoying a period of relative peace and prosperity.
Malnaar, the ancient dragon whose tyranny had once cast a shadow over the entire continent, managed to break free from its magical bonds. As it emerged from its prison, its deafening roars echoed across the lands, causing widespread panic and fear. In a fit of rage and vengeance for its long captivity, Malnaar unleashed its fury upon Quer'ta, a bustling pirate city known for its lawlessness and debauchery. The city was utterly destroyed in the onslaught, with flames consuming everything in their path and leaving nothing but ruins in their wake.
The escape of Malnaar signaled a return of an age-old threat that many had believed was only a myth. It caused political upheaval as rulers scrambled to fortify their defenses against potential dragon attacks. The destruction of Quer'ta served as a grim reminder of the devastation dragons could wreak, leading to increased militarization and alliances among previously rival kingdoms. Additionally, scholars and mages began fervently researching ancient texts for knowledge on how to combat or re-imprison such powerful beings.
