During recent times, the time scholars have begun referring to as the Rise of Shadows, Heth took over Dragonier. The undead dragon felled a nation of dragons and men and with Thul's might wrested the souls from their bodies, creating a nation of wights. The events leading up to this however, are of some concern.
Before its fall, Dragonier had worked desperately to maintain peace in the world. During the Rise of Shadows, nations trembled at the murder of deities and the rise of dark forces. Kings and rulers were lost. Other nations, such as Dran, rose to take advantage of these troubled times. It was only Dragonier which stood in their way. Ultimately, a Dragonier Knight killed a mighty Khan (a Khanate is a land ruled by a Khan), and halted Dran's advance towards Rune, under flag of truce and parley. Whether or not this act was justified in the name of preserving life, none can say.
Now the world faces the aftermath of Shadow's Rise. Rune, weakened from its once world-wide authority, now faces Dranei's anger, barbarians, witches, its giants, and mammoths. With the fall of Dragonier, there is no one else for them to turn their rage (others say greed) against.
Ever-eager for conquest and glory for themselves and their gods, the mighty barbarians of the north have begun war on the once-mighty Magocracy, and threaten to drown the region in blood and steel. When and how Heth will take advantage of the world's distraction remains to be seen; Dran AND Rune had been forces in containing Heth's expansion...
