Fiction:Lore: Draconian War

The Draconian Civil War was a battle that began with the Highland and Lowland Draconian tribes encroaching upon the territory of the Heartland Draconian tribes. Out of necessity, the Heartlanders unified their remaining tribes and fought back, pushing the other draconian tribes out of their lands and sparking the Draconian civil war.

Early History
The first Draconian tribes were founded shortly after the species as a whole attained basic sapience, small collections of families grouped together for better chances of survival. The Heartland Draconian tribes were mainly scattered around the Arm Continent, the Highland Draconian tribes made their homes within the mountain ranges and volcanoes of the Wyvern Continent, and the Lowland Draconian tribes were situated along the shores and rivers of the Drake Continent. These tribes maintained a metastable population, the larger tribes overwhelm and assimilate the smaller tribes, which these large tribes inevitably splinter off into smaller ones. Eventually the Highland and Lowland species began to get curious of the other lands across the seas, away from their familiar home lands. Within a few generations, several splinter tribes from the Highland and Lowland territories migrated to the Arm Continent.

These Draconian immigrants discovered the presence of the Heartland tribes, and were puzzled to find others who looked similar to them, but were completely different. The Heartlanders however, did not like these new, unknown tribes invading their territories and tried to exterminate them. This plan, unfortunately, failed, the Lowland and Highland tribes were more advantaged in locomotion (the Highlanders can fly, and the Lowlanders can swim very well), despite the more advanced tools and weapons the Heartland tribes had. As the year passed, more Highland and Lowland tribes immigrated to the Arm Continent, pushing back the Heartland tribes or wiping them out.

Founding of an Empire
It was a critical time for the Heartlander tribes, if they did not act and manage to drive the other Draconian tribes out from their lands, they would be driven to extinction. The earliest historical record from the Draconian species documents Tribal Chief Tyroth on his journey to persuade the remaining Heartland tribes to unify under his rule to combat the invading Highlanders and Lowlanders. Chief Tyroth was an exceptional leader; able to brave the wild plains on his own and negotiate a unity pact with each of the Heartland tribes, bringing each tribe back with him to a central location: the founding site for the city of Tyros.

The completion of the first Draconian city was a pivotal point for the Heartlanders, with this city, they became the most advanced race on their planet and because of Tyroth's great abilities to lead others and his great strength, he was appointed as first emperor of the Draconian Empire. The safety of their city allowed the Heartland Draconians to increase their populations again, and at the same time train a better, stronger army to push back the invading tribes. While the Heartlanders were constructing their city, Highland scouts witnessed this and reported back to their tribes with this news. The Heartland tribes grew concerned about the strength of the Heartlanders, they knew that with a city, the Heartlanders would easily overpower and destroy their loose tribal organization. In the years following the completion of the Heartland capital of Tyros, the Highlanders of the Arm Continent banded together and constructed the religious capital of Eulingki. Meanwhile, the Lowlanders on their home continent founded a capital of based off their own advancements, the city of Peordeno.
