“Once, dragons and men coexisted. They shared a peace forged in wisdom, a peace that lasted many generations. All that was lost when mankind disrupted this balance in a sudden onslaught. Man fought dragon in a savage war that shook the foundations of their world. This war was called The Scouring. Defeated and humbled, dragons vanished from the realm. In time, man rebuilt and spread his dominion across the land and on the islands beyond. A millennium has passed since those dark days ended.” The Scouring (人竜戦役, Human-Dragon War in the Japanese version) is the name given to the great war between humans and Dragons, a thousand years before the events of Fire Emblem. Before the war, mankind and the dragonkin lived in relative peace until humanity declared war on the dragons for reasons that would be lost to time. The war was the fiercest the world had seen at that point, with the goal of total extermination of the other side, all dragon tribes took part in the war, barring the Divine Dragon tribe which adopted a neutral position. After at least a generation of the war, the dragons were losing the conflict due to their inability to deal with humanity's numbers and fast reproductive capability. Many dragons started to lose hope of winning the war. In order to gain the upper hand against the numerous humans, the dragons requested the aid of the Divine Dragons who had remained neutral though the conflict, they had hoped the Divine Dragons would offer one of their own to transform into a Demon Dragon to spawn artificial soldiers known as War Dragons to repel humanity's armies. However the Divine Dragons refused to take part and fled, however one Divine Dragon girl Idunn was left behind and captured by the Dragons. Idunn was transformed into a Demon Dragon for the purpose of spawning War Dragons for the sake of winning the war and ensuring dragon kind's survival. When Idunn refused to obey orders, the Dragons destroyed her soul and kept her in the Dragon's temple. u can choose which side u want to be on?
