The Dragon Caves…
Dragons in Bale Times: The dragons of the Dragon Caves are roused from their dream of ages triggered by The Sundering (CY 5000) and for a hundred years they take to the skies, raining fire and destroying settlements in their anger. They focus on the capital cities of the kingdoms and fiefs of men, elves, and Ducateon, wreaking havoc in culture, communication, commerce, and generally exacting a high toll on the lands of light AND darkness (though little is know what happened in the Fallen East at this time). Alliances fell, borders shifted and wars were all to common as the High King was unable to bring any semblance of order. Revolt and uprisings were common.
