Last night I mentioned that I was going to try to tell part of a story once a week that takes place in and is mostly a back story and a companion story almost to my Dungeons and Dragons campaign that I have been running for a while now. So without further ado I bring you “The Return of the Dragon Gods”
The story begins in the year 613. For many centuries the Gods of the humanoids and the Gods of the dragons coexisted on the same plane of existence. However the three evil dragon Gods; Falzure, Garyx, and Tiamat grew bored of the humanoids and believed they were better than the Gods followed by the squishy humanoids, and proceeded to teach the Humanoid Gods that the Dragon Gods were more powerful. On many occasions Falzure would take the slaughtered sacrifices to Erythnul and drain them of their energy making them undead before they were slaughtered. Garyx burned a forest with many temples to the Gods down to ash and sand creating a desert leaving only a temple to him made of onyx. Tiamat would have her green and blue dragons destroy any temples not belonging to a draconic deity.
After decades of these tortures the Gods made a unanimous decision to banish the Dragon Gods. The Gods combined their magic and sealed off each of the three Dragon Gods in their home planes all to be guarded by Bahamut. However the evil three became aware of this and instituted a backup plan of sorts.
On the eve of the 3000th Atheirdarastrix celebration in the city of fire during the dark of the moon, the seals can be broken. However this can only be accomplished by two magic users of great power, each holding one of the two rods made by the Gods themselves, one being the rod of Falzure a powerful rod that can turn the living into undead made with the skull of a kobold and pure onyx and the other rod so powerful it’s effects are random but wondrous and chaotic.
So far only one of the rods has been recorded to be found. This rod was place in the powerful trustworthy hands of the Moonshadow family. The rod of Falzure has not been found at the time of this writing but it has been rumored that it was given to a clan of creatures to be kept safe.
Well I hope that you have enjoyed this first part of the story. As with most stories it is best to begin with a legend. Next story you will meet some of our main characters, but you will just have to wait until next week for the next installment of “The Return of the Dragon Gods”.
