Famines grow more frequent as the deserts expand, until the practicers of unlife are too weak to stand against the faerie creatures that rise to defend the enchanted mists.
In desperation, the casters create thirteen immortal lich-lords to replace the archons, against the judgment of the Golden Order.
Unlike the original archons, these lich-lords are created from the most ambitious and cunning individuals of the ruling elite, and together possess several times more raw ability.
Yet these formidable lich-lords only delay their empire's destruction a century longer.

24 Flights arrive on the Greatland (Great Continent). They lead assaults on Wesmere and western Wesnoth.
However their military strategy is nonexistant, as they sweep wide and unfocused in a hunting pattern, not yet aware their "prey" is capable and organized far beyond their imagining or willingness to accept.
By 7 YW heavily fortified cities in eastern wesnoth are striking out with massed cavalry against the isolated hunting camps of the thinly spread drakes.
Heavily fortified cities in eastern wesnoth retaliate with massed cavalry against the isolated hunting camps of the thinly spread drakes.
They employ a hammer-and-anvil strategy by chasing and maneuvering isolated wings and smaller flights of drakes into ambushes by well positioned infantry at prearranged choke points.
Lintanir finally comes to the aid of the western elvish enclaves after defeating the four flights that invaded its realm.
Lintanir sends aid to the western elven enclaves while strengthening its own military power to defend against the sparser scouting flights that they encounter.
Most flights have been routed by 14 YW, retreating deeper into the continent in every direction.
The remaining dominants in the western region coalesce their forces into a host of several thousand and begin to destroy human and elvish fortified settlements one at a time.
Their siege of the fortress city of Weldyn drags on until they find themselves exhausted and surrounded by an enemy reinforcement of similar numbers, which vanquishes them in a pitched battle.
Most flights are routed within a few years, retreating deeper into the continent in every direction.
The remaining dominants in the western region coalesce their forces and assault human and elvish settlements one at a time. They are successful in destroying several fortified human cities.
Their siege of Weldyn is less successful and drags on until they find themselves exhausted and surrounded, whereupon they are vanquished in a pitched battle.
There are only minor skirmishes until around 20 YW, when the remaining drake combatants retreat all at once into the wilds.
Their dominants have been summoned to a grand counsel gathering by Gorlack, who convinces them an entirely new outlook and strategy is needed for the Greatland.
They adopt the Windpath of the Great Contention and through it come to see their former "prey" as fellow "contenders" in what will be a millennium long contest for control over the whole continent.

Drakes are inherently magical creatures, with a mysterious internal fire fueling their very lives. This can easily be witnessed when one of their kind perishes in combat; its internal fire is released, burning their remains in to ashes. Their internal fire is also their greatest weakness; it makes them extremely vulnerable to cold attacks. Despite their magical nature, drakes are incapable of channeling magic in a controlled manner. While the magic imbued within a drake’s body enables it to spit fire and gives it life, they have no willful control over the functions of this magic.
@ -60,7 +60,7 @@ Drakes are a relatively warlike race and their societies can be best described a
While their warlike nature and sense of territory drives them to defend their territories savagely, drakes rarely invade or trespass on areas already occupied by the other major races. Instead, they settle in unpopulated areas to establish their own territory there. They primarily feed on large game they hunt in the lowlands around their homes, but hatchlings and lower caste drakes are known to feed also on certain kinds of moss and fungi they cultivate deep in their caverns. Drakes value armor- and weapon-smithing, but neither know nor need other science and culture besides this. Nonetheless, the few implements they do fashion are almost unrivaled in quality, only matched by those produced in the finest Dwarvish foundries.
Drakes hatch from eggs and usually live naturally between 20 to 30 years. Death in battle is the most preferred way for a drake to leave this world. Unlike the elder members of other races, drakes naturally grow more aggressive and reckless towards the ends of their natural lives, perhaps to help ensure their place in the heroic legends of their kind.
Drakes hatch from eggs and may live naturally for several decades, although some have been known to survive for longer. However, death in battle is the most preferred way for a drake to leave this world. As such, most drakes do not live to see the end of their natural lifespan.
<header>text='Geography'</header>
Drakes originated from an archipelago of volcanic islands called <ref>dst='morogor' text='Morogor'</ref> in the <ref>dst='great_ocean' text='Great Ocean'</ref>. A combination of population pressure and the subsidence of many of their home islands has caused colonies of drakes to spread to the <ref>dst='great_continent' text='Great Continent'</ref>. Drakes tend to make their homes in mountain caverns near volcanoes to protect their eggs, hatchings and forges. While drakes naturally prefer warmth, their internal fire is more than capable of sustaining them even in a relatively cold climate, a feature which has allowed them to populate even some of the mountains of the far north of the Great Continent."
