### Prologue:

The tale of the Draconatrai tribe began long ago in the land of fire where Varatrax was the first Traxantor or Chief he and his tribe would settle at the mouth of a river and make there home there in what would turn into the capitol of there tribe named Dravania wich would mark the start of year 0 of the draconian calendar (same as turn year 0).

Over time the Draconatrai tribe would grow and prosper fast yet eventually it stopped being able to keep up with the immense population growth and draconians whom could not find employment start migrating away to form new tribes. And so the island would know 3 tribes the Draconatrai the Thetle and the Washingdong.

Eventually in December of the 3rd year of the Draconian calendar a messenger came from the Washingdong tribe speaking of foreign invasion and the land aflame. And so Traxantor Varatrax would call his banners and March with the Draconatrai army to the aid of the Washingdong tribe as he feared if Washingdong would fall the invaders would move against the Draconatrai aswell.

And so they marched on and would arrive near the Washingdong capitol at the end of December where Varatrax saw a host larger then anything he’d ever seen before, Knowing his men where to tired to be able to put up any meaningful fight and as they where not yet detected the army made camp hidden behind a hill where they would rest until alas the time came and so at the turning of the year they marched down in the darkness of the night and unleashed 3 deadly volleys upon the enemy camp guards after wich Varatrax leading the charge personally of the Halfdragons with there large obsidian axes would dash into the camp killing many lighting many fires and causing chaos before retreating as they had not the ammunition for a prolonged fight.

Eventually Washingdong would fall to these foreign invaders at however a very high cost. This battle would be seen as the ending of the peaceful prosperous times of the Draconatrai time and would be the start of a new age of fire and death of not just the Draconatrai but the whole island… and perhaps the whole region….

### Chapter 1: The age of black fire

And so in the 4th year of the draconian calendar an ominous cloud formed over the island with these newcomers of whom it quickly became clear they where nothing but refugees fleeing from warmongers on another island and that they had no intention to conquer this island. And so by the encouragement of Varatrax the 3 tribes made a defensive pact against those warmongers in an effort to bring unity to the island.

Yet peace was not to remain and the mountain tribe of thetle came down with a host from the mountains and began raiding the eastern swamps of the Draconatrai territory upon wich Varatrax called his banners and marched to meet them. Scouts would report to Varatrax that the Thetlans had erected a barricade at the mountain pass that was between the eastern swamps and the rest of Draconatrai territory. And so Varatrax decided to go with his host along another path across the mountain so that they would come up behind the thetlens and make an surprise attack. The journey across the other path was perilous and costed many lives yet eventually the majority of the host made it and went into battle. The battle commenced and the thetlens where hit in the back by volleys of arrows and went into chaos untill they managed to reorganise enough the meet the melee charge

The battle was bloody and hard and would be a phyrric victory for the Draconatrai. Enraged by how many of his tribe lay there dead some of wich where close friends of his Varatrax ordered the killing of the prisoners. After returning with his host to the capitol and with a clearer mind Varatrax sended an emissary to the thetlens saying that if they would to join his tribe they could feed them and end the unnecessary bloodshed. Yet the thetlens would not speak to those whom would harm the unarmed and weak and so began the conflict wich would be known as the war of blood rage

As it started because of the rage over so much spilled blood. The thetlens would come from there mountains again and steal many rescources and kill many Draconatrai before going back into the mountains again

## Characters

Varatrax his birth was not alike to those of the rest of his tribe as his was prophecised to happen. The day Varatrax his mother entered into her labours prematurely catching everyone by suprise and as Varatrax was on his way out suddenly a volcano erupted causing the earth to shake wich caused a collapse in the cave they where in burying Varatrax his mother him and some other females whom where helping… And so the tribe turned to dismay at the deaths of there fellow tribeswoman and the baby and it was then that suddenly the rocks that burried them exploded into fire and then to the utmost suprise of them all within this fire lay the baby… Varatrax to whomst his father rushed grabbing him from the fire as it died down.

The tribe would speak of the prophecy of Makhael and that this baby was his chosen one and as such Varatrax his father would name him Varatrax meaning The Chosen One

And so it was decided that when he’d come of age he would be Traxantor. And as Varatrax grew up he showed more and more to be cunning intelligent and most of all… An extremely zealous follower of Makhael almost even to an extend of  disregarding the other gods of the Aelandai pantheon. And so whence he came to the age and was chosen Traxantor the tribe knew under Makhaels chosen one they would achieve Makhaels promise.
