Ok here goes nothing! The Return Of the Shadow Dragon Cult The Land of Palantova is a land of Dragons. They co-exist, in every way but peaceful... Hundreds of years ago, a group of dragons called the Shadow Dragon Cult arose. They worshiped a god they called Maradol, a dragon god of the shadows, as proclaimed by the cult. The cult believed that the ultimate wish of Maradol, was to have the world ruled by him, in darkness. To accomplish this, the cult had to use dark magic, that was supposed to stay undiscovered. They began to learn the use of this new form of magic. They called it "shadow magic". The magic grows stronger with blood sacrifices. and so they decided to use those dragons who did not believe in their god, for their sacrificial rituals. This Shadow Dragon cult did not go unopposed. The other dragons rose up, and fought back. A bloody war ensued. Little did the other dragons know, a war helped progress the Cult's power and strength. Not too long after a year, a group of wise dragons gathered. They were Ancients, having lived over a thousand years. One of them had the name of Tyrest. He was a gold dragon, dedicated to the ending of the Cultm and the war. He vowed to end it. even at the cost of his life. The Anchents confered, and came up with a solution to the conflict. The Ancients decided to freeze the Cult in time. Turn them into stone and rock. The energy needed to accomplish this was enormous. It would cost the lives of those who participated in the casting of this magic. Tyrest was able to gather the Ancients, which were few in number. Tyrest spoke out in wisdom, declaring that the Cult would be stopped. The Ancients grouped their energy and cast the spell, that would turn those who had ever used shadow magic, to freeze in time, and be turned to stone. The spell worked. And with a Unified roar of Victiry, the ancients died. Their deaths were mourned, but the ending of the Cult and the war was celebrated. The younger elders confered, and they decided to create a new clan, the Guardian Clan. The Guardians would swear loyalty to the well being of their race, and prevent another cult from arising. Later on, gifted individuals among the Humans and elves became part of the guardian clan. Usually, the Guardians had an undying will, with little fear of death, and they would stop at nothing to save what they loved. They had to display wisdom, leadership, and courage to keep their reputation and honor. It is now 2000 years later. Erie sounds are becoming evident in the night. Wailing is heard in desolate and unpopulated areas of Palantova. The spell that was cast by the Ancients 600 years prior began to unravel, and fade. The shadow dragons were beginning to come back. They had not aged, for they were frozen in time when they were turned to stone. Its undoing is not from the aged spell. There were few shadow dragons untouched by the spell. They infiltrated the Guardian Clan. Now the shadow dragons were going to get revenge. They wanted to see any Guardian killed and used in their Sacrificial Rituals, dedicated to the Cult's god. The dragons were being dragged once more into a war, as one bye one, the stone statues changed back to a shadow dragon. There is one drawback for the Guardians. They do not have the power the Ancients had for casting another spell to freeze the shadow dragons. Hope is fading as the war escalates. The humans, even with their undying will, and clever wizards, can't resist the ever growing cult. Even humans were being recruited into the masses of shadow cult members. The scarce elves and other races could not help but get pulled into the war as well. The evergrowing cult was reaching even the furthest reaches of the world. They managed to create their own resistance group, simply called the Human/Elf resistance. The races' deepest fear of darkness might end up happening, if the Cult can't be stopped. The unexpected return of the Shadow Dragon Cult exposed their weakness. There is only the dying hope that remains, that the war might end as it did 2000 years before.
