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. All portals to this realm were sealed with powerful magic to prevent them being used. One, however, was not, and it would serve as a catalyst for the war that followed.

Signs of trouble

After nearly a generation of peace, the Cheetah city of Warclaw was attacked, and though it is a failure due to the city's highly developed defenses, it nonetheless alerts the High Council that the era of peace they had so thoroughly enjoyed was coming to an end. After Cinder , the last surviving relative to Cynder died, the dragoness went into a fit of grief, and sealed herself away on the upper floors of the Obsidian Tower. Soon after various celestial phenomenon began to occur, as two of the planet's moons moved closer to the planet, causing unusual tidal patterns, and threatening coastal cities with annihilation. This alarmed the Council, who sought the aid of the nearby Atlantean Confederation, who responded by destroying the moons, which were in a decaying orbit. soon afterwords, Cynder and Spiril are reborn, and laid within the nursery of the Dragon Temple.

Early Phase

The Dragon Temple came under siege by the apes soon after this, and it's ancient fortifications failed. As a result, the entire temple was overrun, most of the Elders defeated, and all but two eggs were destroyed. Fira hid Spiril's egg in the swamps surrounding the temple, while Cynder's was taken. during the following decade, Cynder terrorized the countryside, oblivious to the consequences of her actions. When the apes, who had subsequently became subservient to her, attacked the Escabar Marshlands, Spiril left the swamps, barely avoiding a confrontation with her before running into Fira, who proceeded to recount the numerous battles that had taken place after the temple's fall, stating that before Cynder appeared in her corrupted state, that they were on the verge of winning the war. After losing many battles, the Elders had been taken, one by one, to parts unknown by the dragoness, while only Fira managed to escape and hide from her army. As they proceed to retake the Temple, which had stood abandoned for nearly a decade, elements of this army found Fira with Spiril, and proceeded to attack both of them. After this fails, Fira proceeds to help Spiril master the element of fire, before sending him to Dante's Freezer. Arriving at the ice cap, he finds Cynder's army in the midst of a war against an army of undead soldiers, who have occupied various scattered and ruined forts and castles around the continent. After fighting his way through the ruined buildings, he encounters Cynder for the first time flying high above him, before fighting through yet another series of ruined buildings, after which he discovers a vast glacial cavern, in which the Hierarch Volt had been imprisoned by her. When he goes to rescue the bound hierarch, a large undead soldier rises to fight him. Defeating it, He proceeds to unbind the Hierarch before he and Volt return to the Temple, where Volt reveals the Cynder is draining the elders' powers into crystalline orbs in order to open a portal into the Realm of Convexity. Fira then proceeds to send Spiril to Tall Plains, the Homeland of the Atlowa. After fighting through the fortified canyons and surviving the Atlowas' various traps, Manages to track down Cyril, who has been imprisoned within the tribe's principal shrine. Moving to free the Councilor, a broken statue comes to life and attacks. Freeing the Elder, the two return to the Temple, where the elders try to re-assert the High Councils' power. Fira then sends him to Munitions' Forge to recover the last of the elemental Hierachs, Terrador. The Island's volcano is threatening to erupt, and the inhabitants have been forced to mine surface veins of iron by the apes, though they essentially blame their woes on Cynder. Fighting through the apes' forces, Spiril eventually manages to reach Terrador, who is still imprisioned, his powers being drained into a crystaline orb like the others. When he attempts, to free Terrador, he is confronted by Cynder, who emerges from a nearby pit of lava. After she takes the crystal, Terrador proceeds to attack her, though Cynder seemlessly knocks him away from her with her tail, sending him back to the ground in a spectacular fashion, before turning her attention to Spiril. Terrador then orders him to flee from her. (in the origonal text, it is said that she attempts to eat him at this point, though she never is able to ger close enough to do so). Barely escaping the erupting volcano, Cynder is then attacked by Fira, though this to ends in failure, and Cynder proceeds to take fira to her Lair, where she begins to drain his powers into an orb. Spiril is eventually sent to her fortress there, and after managing to defeat her remaining forces before confronting the dragoness herslf. weakening her, she successfully drains Firas' power into a power crystal, before activating the portal into the Realm of Convexity, and entering it. Spiril follows her into this realm, and after yet another battle, barely manages to defeat her, removing Malefors' influence from her. She reverts to a younger form, which Spiril then proceeds to drag back through the Convexity portal.
