Backdrop

The game’s story started an eon ago, when Elga's betrayal of the Dragon Lord Vyvern plunged the race of Dragons into conflict, and divided them into two warring factions. Seeking mysterious artifacts of power believed to be hidden in the realm of Dragonica, Elga mounted a bloody invasion 1,000 years ago, but was finally defeated at great cost and entombed in a hidden fortress, presumably for all time.

But Man has yet again proven himself to be an engineer of his own downfall. (Such as when Isildur got corrupted by the “One Ring” of Sauron during the Lord of the Rings story, wherein instead of destroying the ring by throwing it into the fiery chasm of Mount Doom, he wore it, bringing about the battle for the Middle Earth centuries later. Good thing heroes including Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf, the Hobbits, and the King Aragorn stood up to the power of Sauron to end it once and for all.) The same is the backdrop for Dragonica, when the beautiful and powerful enchantress Paris, hungry to be raised above all mankind, freed the Dark Lord from his imprisonment. As a result, a sinister force is spreading through the lands once more, corrupting its adorable creatures and turning them against the inhabitants of the realm.
