Prologue: The Story Thus Far
Kalecgos, A young blue dragon was sent by his master to investigate a strange surge of magical power. Before he could reach his destination, Kalec was shot down by the dragon hunter known as Harken Grimstone. Grimstone is a twisted bitter dwarf who lost his loved one in a dragon attack. He and his ragged band of hunters were only too happy to serve those who would enable them to slay all dragon they could find.
Transforming into humanoid form to escape the hunters' net, a wounded Kalec was aided by a Anveena, a kind, innocent human maiden who lived near by. Kaec tried to warn Anveena away, but she seem unconcerned about the pursing hunters. Even more remarkably, the young woman seemed unfazed by Kalec's true nature, though most people's reaction to meeting a dragon would be to flee or try to kill it.
Anveena's parents were equally welcoming to Kalec, and they maintained their friendly disposition even when Grimstone kicked down their door. Kalec and Anveena used a human escape tunnel under the house to avoid the hunting party, but they were discovered and forced to flee. Kalec transformed back into a dragon and flew away with Anveena, but his wounds and Grymstone's attacks drove him from the sky once again.
Unable to control his descent, Kalec crashed into a nearby lake. Anveena swam to shore and feared the worse until she found Kalec laying at the water's edge. Luckily, the blue dragon transformed again and washed ashore before his bulkier dragon form caused him to drown.
Returning to Anveena's home, Kalec and Anveena found only a burning wreckage… and the undead Scourge. Fighting shambling corpses, Kalec and Anveena were easily captured by the renegade elf known as Dar'khan. Dar'khan placed pain-inducing mystical collars around Kalec and Anveena's necks and offered them relatively painless deaths in exchange for information about the Sunwell.
The Sunwell is a pool of mystical essence of the high elves' lives. Located in the elven city of Quel'thalas, this source of magic was as important to the elves as eating or breathing. They used its vast power to build their cities, mold their landscapes and make whatever they desired. Unfortunately, Dar'khan desired much more then the rest of his brethren, leading him to an unholy pact with Arthas, the corrupted human knight who became the Lich king.
Dar'khan enabled the undead Scourge to bypass Quel'thalas fabled defenses while he drained the Sunwell's energies. While his proud home was overrun by vicious, zombified corpses and Dar'khan fought his fellow elven sorcerers fir control of the well, something went horribly wrong. The Sunwell's powers exploded spectacularly, ravaging what little remained untouched by the Scourge.
Dar'khan was saved by the power of his dark lord, and sent across the continent in search of the Sunwell's escaped power… which would be the same power that Kalec's master sensed. Dar'khan tried torturing Kalec for information, but he was interrupted by the arrival of Tyrygosa, a female blue dragon who is also Kalec'sintended. Together, Tyri and Kalec manage to wipe out Dar'khan's undead servants and drive the elf away… but they could not remove the collar he placed on his two captives.
Sifting through the shattered timber of Anveena's home in search of her parents, the trio instead discovered a strange egg, which housed even a stranger winged serpent. Anveena named him Raac (For the noise he makes) and Kalec and Tyri suspected that the bizarre creature must have had something to do with the Sunwell energy that attracted them and Dar'khan.
Since Kalec's collar prevented him from transforming, Tryi carried her companions to the town of Tarren Mill in the search of Borel, a man who Anveena's parents spoke of often. Thought she never meet him, she believed he might be able to help them remove Dar'khan's collars. The group attracted a lot of attention in the small town, including that of Jorad Mace and a mage named Belle. They both recognized Borel's name, but Mace was more interested in helping Anveena escape the town than aiding Kalec, Tyri and Belle against the surprise attack by Harkyn Grymstone and his fellow dragon hunters.
Grymstone had the dragons and mage cornered when he suddenly too was surrounded by undead and Dar'khan. Dar'khan revealed that he had disgusted himself as a human prince to provide the vengeful dwarfwith the resources needed to kill any dragon that might be drawn to the area by the Sunwell's power. As Dar'khan prepared to take Raac from Anveena, a surprise attack from Jorad Mace helped the dragons and dragon hunters turn the tide.
With their combined efforts, the undead were wiped out and Dar'khan consumed in the blast of Tyri's dragon fire. When Jorad Mace and Belle informed they others that they might find Borel on Aerie Peak, an apologetic Harkyn Grymstone advised them to seek his cousin, Loggi, who lives in the mountain near there.
Hoping that Loggi might be able to remove the magical collars. Kalec, Anveena, Tyri, Jorad Mace and Belle search not only for the dwarf, but also for the mysterious Borel, who may know more about the Sunwell than anyone. However, reaching Aerie Peak may be harder than imagined, even with a dragon to fly them there…
