The Scorching was an early period in Pyrrhian history when the dragons took over from the humans, who controlled the continent before the Scorching.
Description
At least five thousand years ago, scavengers swarmed the continent. They were organized and advanced, being the dominant life form at the time. They had several warring empires, and large, sprawling cities.[1][2]
Webs mentions that stories before the Scorching would be best described as legends and fairy tales, due to how unlikely it was for scavengers to be as advanced as once thought.[3]
The humans attempted to tame dragons by stealing and hatching eggs, eventually pushing the dragons to unite, scorching their cities.[4] The dragons then formed tribes, and each one appointed a queen, allowing them to form complex societies. This made it hard for scavengers to kill individual dragons. After the Scorching, transformation and resettlement occurred[citation needed] as well as constant warfare.[5]
Trivia
- Dragons keep track of the date by counting the years since the Scorching, as shown when Moonwatcher mentioned that five thousand and twelve years had passed from the Scorching.[6]
- Tui would eventually like to make a Legends book about the Scorching.[citation needed]
- The events of the Scorching will be addressed in A Guide to the Dragon World.[event 1]
- Tui stated that the first known tribe and the origin of animus magic were "Scorching-based questions."[event 2]
