War of the Old Ones
The Old Ones started their chaotic sweep across the land, slaying thousands in the new world. Elves, Dwarves, and Jillecai alike where swept aside, no matter the size of their armies.
So the Dragons intervened. Numbering in the hundreds of thousands, the Dragons flew out to fight the Old Ones, working together with the mortals of Lerai to keep back the four Old Ones.
But then, Illerin took up his staff of dark essence and struck the corpses around him. Each one then rose, their armor and weapons thrown aside, to become the Undead, never sleeping, never stopping.
The War continued anew, but for every soldier from the forces of the Dragons lost, a new soldier for the Old Ones was born. The Undead swept across the land, cutting through the remaining armies of the mortals and cutting down the dragons where they defended them.
But then, the Great Dragon of Earth came up with a plan.
