The Great War began in 1405 and lasted up to about 1445. The war involved the use of dragons for their magic against and among many kingdoms. This magic was soon used for evil and each kingdom’s gain. The war unfolded when my father’s kingdom entered the war after a draft was called by the neighboring kingdoms as a way to preserve lives.  The war caused massive destruction, resulting in the death of millions of people. In the end, my father's kingdom was victorious and peace was restored. 

The only other war we face now is the banishment of dragons from our kingdom. After the war, we stopped using dragons for their magic but yet they remain endangered as other kingdoms continue to harvest their magic for other reasons like medicine and preserving food. So in hindsight, it feels like the war never truly ended.
