The Spirit Dragons Turn
PDFThe Empire of Venn
The Great Spirit Dragons, their original purpose gone and their guidance unasked-for, become overzealous guardians. Their metallic colors fade as their nature shifts from protectors to overseers. They launch a war not of greed but of ideology — convinced mortals cannot govern themselves and that the Spirit Dragons must rule for them. Peoples caught in the crossfire, including the ancestors of orcs and goblinoids, are displaced and scattered, forging survival cultures in the chaos of a war they did not start. The gods raise new, uncorrupted dragons to oppose them.
