Long ago, there were only three Dragon Kings ruling over their kin.
It was a time of despair.
A deadly plague had swept through the dragonborn, a sickness unlike anything seen before. It spread through the air, striking swiftly, leaving no defense and no cure. Once the illness took hold, the blood of its victim grew cold, draining their life away.
Many dragons tried to resist it—some even bathed themselves in molten lava, hoping its heat could drive the sickness out. But unless one could pour fire directly into their veins, nothing could stop the chill.
The dragonborn perished in great numbers, their mighty race brought to the brink of ruin.
Then, when all seemed lost, a Sage appeared. She alone carried the cure. But she did not offer it freely.
The Sage demanded a pact—an Oath sworn by the three Dragon Kings themselves. If they wished to save their kin, then every dragonborn must forever turn away from the human realm.
