War of Treasure

The **War of Treasure**, also known as the **Greedy War**, was a war over the next sister, niece, or cousin who was going to take the FireWing throne and ensure they'd get the most treasure out of the other tribes. All of the tribes were involved, even though the ParaWings didn't have an alliance, even though the other tribes did. The ParaWings are said to be 'not interested in gold.'  The event began about five years before Book 1: Ruby.

## Description

Five years before Shifter's hatching day, Queen True resigned from her position as FireWing queen, leaving the niece, cousin, and sister (Eject, Silt, and Nerve) fighting for the throne. At this time, it was said Queen True had a vault in which she kept piles and piles of treasure, amongst which was the Ruby, which Shifter needed to complete her destiny. All the tribes began fighting for who would get the treasure; each contender for the throne promised any tribes who allied with her their fair share of treasure. The GlazeWings and WaterWings joined Silt. The ParaWings were neutral, the DuskWings and CloudWings allied with Nerve, and the FireWings and SageWings allied with Eject. In the end, Eject won. Silt was locked up and Nerve was murdered by Shifter, who realized her bad intentions to lie and cheat her way to the throne.

## Timeline

* Queen True resigned from her position as queen.
* Eject stepped forward first, Silt and Nerve following, and presented reasons why she should be queen. A council was held to determine who should be, and instead of fighting to the death, they decided they'd let it play out, simply for shock value and making themselves more popular than the other tribes.
* Silt allies herself with the GlazeWings, and arrives at the WaterWings base shortly after, securing her alliance with them.
* Eject and Nerve fight over the CloudWings. Nerve eventually wins, so goes over to the DuskWings and launches her plan. Eject allies herself with the SageWings, gains the trust of the FireWings, and attempts to get the ParaWings on her side, who politely disagree.
* The war officially begins once the alliances are in place.
* Eject sends the SageWings to kill the CloudWings, making the Fire and Ice Battle. In the end, the SageWings come out victorious and the CloudWings flee. Skychanger's mother, while the CloudWings are still weak, attacks them, managing to murder a thousand.
* The ParaWings decide to give Eject a chance, and prove to be useful in the Redemption Fight, where they show they're not "useful cowards"  in battle.
* Shifter is born, causing the DuskWings to break off their alliance with Nerve. Frustrated, she murders Shifter's father and tons of other dragons, uselessly, in hopes that she'll scare the tribe back into an alliance with her. It works, and even though they feel threatened, they return their alliance with her as Shifter starts growing up.
* About six years later, Shifter is shown doing her training in her battle room with Wise, her mother. She's shown to be hating it.
* Shifter meets Isabella.
* Shifter goes into a secret room (secretly a treasure room) with Isabella, where Isabella attempts to kill her. Luckily, Abyss stops her before she can. Abyss then breaks up with her. Soon after, Shifter escapes with the Box of Dreams, who tells her her destiny.
* Soon after, the GlazeWings attack the ParaWings. It results in a draw, as Silt gets extremely injured and runs to the WaterWings for help. They help her like they're asked, but are attacked by the CloudWings. Nearly half of the CloudWings are wiped out, and Nerve runs from the battle.
* Shifter continues following her destiny  . Soon, the truth is revealed about Nerve's intentions. Shifter decides to travel to the FireWing palace, where she finds the Ruby. This is where she finds Skychanger, and also where she kills Nerve using the Ruby itself.
* Skychanger and Shifter return and blow up Red Beach, killing Isabella and Wise, and tons of other DuskWings as well.
* Skychanger becomes queen.
* With Nerve dead, Silt agrees to Eject winning the war, but then betrays her by trying to kill her. Instead, Shifter stops her. Silt is locked up and Eject becomes the new FireWing queen.
* The war ends.
