“Book of Vlast” by Josso Essher
   
“In the ancient days, Glint served a titanic master: the Elder Dragon Kralkatorrik. Mindless and brutal, Glint decimated continents at the Elder Dragon’s command.
   
It was then that we, the Forgotten, developed a ritual to free a creature from the Elder Dragon’s control. We performed it on Glint with great success. Her mind cleared, and Glint’s will was her own.

Yes, after Glint was freed from Kralkatorrik’s madness, she gave birth to her eggs. First among these was a dragonling named Vlast. When the Branded came, he was the first to throw himself into the fray.

His battles were legendary. Many times we were saved by a shadow swooping in from the sky. The people of Elona told tales for generations, both of hope and of fear toward their ‘protector.’

When the Branded came, Glint sent Vlast away. She could feel Kralkatorrik coming to destroy her. She prophesized a great legacy, an important role for Vlast, and could not risk his death as well.

After the death of his mother, Vlast battled the Branded, destroying them in a vengeful swath. More poured into Elona from the north, threatening to destroy the country and all who lived there.

Now, as we all fall under Kralkatorrik’s gaze, Vlast fights on. He has beaten many of Kralkatorrik’s followers, but there is only so much that one creature—even if it happens to be a dragon—can do.”
