Ancient Heroes

The First Dragonslayer
When Humanity was forced to live underground hidden from the Dragon's that ruled the land above, one brave young man ventured up to the surface. His name was Jerristan. Upon wandering to the world on the surface, Jerristan came upon a battlefield filled with the decaying corpses of fallen Dragons. He harvested what he could from the largest dragon he could find and returned home. He used the parts he had harvested to create a blade which seemed to be stronger and sharper than anything else made by man. After forging the first weapon of Dragon parts, Jerristan returned once more to the surface to scavenge for more Dragon Parts however while returning to the same battlefield, Jerristan was confronted by a Red Aerial Dragon. Faced with a battle between life and death, Jerristan desperately fought the dragon and was able to cut through it's tough carapace dealing a killing blow. This marked the first dragon killed by a humanoid. Jerristan harvested what he could from the fallen dragon and returned once again to forge more weaponry with the new found knowledge that dragons could be defeated at the hands of man.

Legend says he forged 13 weapons from the many parts harvested from fallen dragons and after these weapons were created, 13 warriors were chosen to wield these weapons. These warriors were the first of the dragonslayers.

Ancient Dragonslayer Heroes
The 13 warriors that proceeded Jerristan each wielded one of the weapons he forged and became the original Dragonslayers.

Those ancient heroes ventured to the surface with their newly forged weapons and carved out a path for humanity eventually driving dragons to the southern continent of Dragia and claiming the land for the commonfolk.

It was said that the souls of the Dragons the weapons were made from, were contained within the weapons themselves and harbored their very will to kill. Only those with a dragonslayer bloodline can contain that overwhelming will of the dragons from which the weapons were made.
