Scattering across the world, they seized seats of power and ruled over the humanoid tribal communities as living gods.

1285:Dragon	After a decade of fruitless research, the dragonlords Hyperion, Eurypha, and Eos voluntarily sacrifices their immortal lives to close the Abyssal Rift. But before doing so, Hyperion breaks the taboo upheld among dragonkind and teaches sorcery to millions of humans by broadcasting it through his telepathic speech.
1433:Dragon	As the last available etherite mines begin to dry up, the dragonkind begin preparations for their departure, naming the disciples of Hyperion as their successors.
1483:Dragon	The dragon civilization depart Hyperion, ending the Age of Dragon.
