Broken Kingdom
Prologue
And in their thirst for conquest the dragons initiated two wars for territories beyond the mountain ranges. For the Plains and Hills Southeast of the lonely mountains, they began a one year conflict with Equestria under Discord, lasting from 3 B.C.L. to 2 B.C.L., gaining these territories with no real resistance from the lord of chaos for unknown reasons.
The second war was launched against the Griffon Hierarchy, around 1 B.C.L. and lasted three years. Though they were finally successful with the slaughter of a griffon force at the battle of the clouds (curiously taking place above Cloudsdale, Equestria), at 1 A.C.L., their state was already in turmoil with the assassination of the Elder Dragon at the claws of his closest advisors in the Duma at year 0.
Since the collapse of the dragon state, both land wise and in government, the former territories were split up between the Hierarchy and the New Leaders of Equestria, Princess's Celestia and Luna, with the remains of the dragon government collapsing in on itself stemming from the inability to elect a new elder.
Because of the predisposition to greed and isolation, what was once a great power was split into clan leaders and their families which became greatly divided as well, with no indication of ever resurfacing as a state or race to rival what they once were.
