Ancient arrival of the dragons and the spark of war

Dragons and their powerful crystals reach the human world through a portal, bringing knowledge and a promise of peace.

The Ring of Ouroboros and Thoron's truth

The group reaches the Ring of Ouroboros where the dragon reveals himself as Thoron, the Dragon King.

Thoron explains how Aurathon was hidden and why Xenoz cannot be trusted.
