Rage Of | The Dragon
For three centuries, the Great Wyrm, Ignis-Kahl, had been a myth etched into crumbling mountain shrines. But when the Deep-Mining Guild of Oakhaven struck a vein of "Heart-Fire" ore—shimmering crystals formed from ancient draconic blood—they didn't just find wealth. They woke a god.
