Blistered Lands

The Blistered Lands are the remnants of the Wind Realm's northeastern peninsula. It was ravaged and blighted by the arrival of the first dragons on Aenoth.

The Blistering
Many thousands of years ago, an immense structure fell to earth. It was a tall, black monolith made of an unknown metal. Eventually, the side of the structure was torn open, and the dragons emerged. Originally, they stayed within the bounds of the peninsula, but after a Zal'cuix expedition entered their territory and attacked a lone female, the dragons began raiding the small coastal cities of the Zal'cuix. As time went on, this antagonistic behavior devolved into a full-scale war. Eventually, most of the Zal'cuix had been slain, and those few that survived migrated south and either integrated with the Ashanti nomads, or mated with each other. The dragons likely would have wiped out the couatls as well, but were coerced by the aforementioned couatls into moving territory to the eastern side of the Sea of Flux.

Effects
For certain, no one knows the full extent of the Blistering's effects on Aenoth's infrastructure. However, the land formerly inhabited by the dragons has not yet recovered from that long and bloody war.
