The Scale War

The Scale War was a major historical event in Teshol. it occurred approximately 5000 years ago when Tiamat and the Cult of The Dragon worked to free Tiamat from the Nine Hells. The Shimmering Convergence, an organization of metallic dragons, including Eldrehain, Minerva, Allohine, Sirius, and Haven fought against them. The war lasted for a very long time, and it seemed the forces of good would lose, partially due to the elves refusal to get involved in the war. When the drow of Umbravall grew impatient and finally joined the war, the other elves did as well, apparently turning the tide of the conflict. In the end, Tiamat was defeated or at least returned to to her infernal prison. 
A great deal of the story of the Scale War has been lost to time. With recent events, however, the history is likely to become relevant once again.
