Dragon’s Ash

Some spells require rare ingredients… and the rarest of them all is ash from a fallen dragon.

You see, there once was a time when dragons ruled the skies. Their wings would topple trees at takeoff and their fiery breath could melt stone.

Dragonkind were our lords, and we their peasants. We would bow before them and pray to not face their wrath.

But with that power came greed. Over time, the dragons stopped hungering for flesh and instead began craving gold. No offering could appease them.

Soon, the dragons turned on each other. The weaker were charred to ash so the stronger could claim their hoards. Before long, only a few remained. They buried themselves in tombs of treasure, within stone prisons of their own making.

All the while we waited… We watched the kings slowly destroy themselves. And once the last mighty had been humbled by his own greed, we stooped and swept up his ashes.
