Crusade of Fallen Crowns

Little is truly known of the events directly following the Upheaval. All that is certain is that man struggled to retain dominion over the magical creatures that walked the land.

Ruler of Giants
One leader of man outsmarted the Giants. As magic waned, the giants became more like men. They wished to become like men. The man that would soon be known as the Ruler of Giants, saw their wish. He gave them stones and told them that they had value. He said that he would give them more if they fought by his side. Eager to earn more stone, they agreed, swearing allegiance to him.

The Wyrmtongue
During the Upheaval, the dragons took to the skies, but as magic waned, they were forced from the skies. One woman, the Wyrmtongue, enticed the dragons. She spun a song so sweet, the beasts fell into a deep slumber. When they awoke, she spun more songs: songs of beauty and of strife. Songs of glory and riches. Her songs delighted the dragons, who soon grew to love them more than wealth. They treasured her as a mother treasures her children. And when she asked them to follow her into battle, they did not hesitate. For only one who sang so sweet should rule over man and beast

Master of Shadow
The shadows that had once served man were free, they united and formed creatures of darkness. These creatures roamed the land and wished to live like their former masters, but they were missing something. The man that would one day be known as the Master of Shadow, saw their sorrow. He weaved a lie so magnanimous, the creatures of shadow gladly followed him into battle.

Battle of Behemoths
This was the first clash of giants and dragons. It ended in a stalemate, with both sides suffering heavy losses.

The Night of Falling Stars
A night that lasted a month. During the long night, the three kings waged open war. The Age of Behemoths ended as the sun rose.
