Introduction

The Dragon Civil War was a series of battles taking place mainly around the Dragon Temple complex, the cities of Warfang and Warclaw, and the Valley of Avalar, as well as in the Realm of Convexity, the Celestial Caves, the Mountain of Malefor, and surrounding environs. It was fought primarily in the central regions of the Dragon Confederation between forces of the government and various races aligned with Malefor.

Origins

10 generations prior to the birth of Cynder and the organization of the Dragon Confederation, Malefor was born in the Dragon Temple, an ancient complex of buildings built on Temple Mountain. As a rare purple dragon, he was held in great esteem of the ancient dragon elders that they thought him the secrets of mastering all of the elements then known. However, as he grew older, he became dissatisfied with the elders. As he developed an untamed lust for power, he attempted to overthrow the elders, who exiled him to an ancient Mountain, which he then turned into a fortress. from here, he thought apes how harness the power of Spirit Gems, crystalline formations from which the dragons could draw power and heal their wounds after battle. eventually, the far more ancient mountains' foundations cracked under the pressure of his malice, creating the Well of Souls. as he continued to resist the council, he was eventually defeated in battle, and his spirit and essence separated into separate entities. His spirit was imprisoned within his fortress, while his essence was imprisoned in the Realm of Convexity inside an ancient Precursor vessel.
