	The '''Dragon Priest Empire''' grew out of the [[Dragon Priest (cult)\|Dragon Priest]] religious movement, which was founded by [[Sh'kial]] in 255 BV.

The '''Dragon Priest Empire''' grew out of the [[Dragon Priest (cult)\|Dragon Priest]] religious movement, which was founded by [[Sh'kial]] in 255 BV. They first appeared in the Wyvern Mountains of [[Ilithi]]. When his protégé, [[Dzree]] formed a Sect and began teaching others to sacrifice [[Human]]s, [[Elf\|Elves]], and sometimes even [[S'Kra Mur]]. Dzree's sect held the belief that "those who were fashioned in the shape of the Great Dragon should hold power over all others." When Sh'kial learned of this, he ordered them to cease and was immediately named a heretic by Dzree. In 205 BV, a student of Dzree's stabbed Sh'Kial in the back as he was bending to pick up a baby from a cradle. The Sect of Sh'kial all but disappeared and Dzree's Sect greatly expanded, becoming an empire with a strong militant arm. The empire conquered [[Shard]] during [[Corik]]'s reign, but eventually crumbled following Dzree's death in 1 BV.


			=Beliefs of the Sect of Dzree and the Empire=
			Dzree began with a doctrine that stated "those who were fashioned in the shape of the Great Dragon should hold power over all others." Before Dzree fell to madness, the beliefs of the empire were that only through the sacrifice of Humans, Elves, and in special circumstances, S'Kra Mur, could the World Dragon be appeased and a time of great Peace would come to the land. After her death was prophesized, Dzree's sermons took a turn. No longer did she teach the empire that an age of Peace would come, but that a time of terrible war would come, in which the World Dragon would wake and consume [[Elanthia]].

			Followers of this sect also took on the sacrifice small children and whole villages in the name of waking rather than appeasing the great devourer.

	The last of the [[Ru'atin Peri'el]] fled to [[Aesry Surlaenis'a]], hiding away in a compound. Around this time, the empire also seized control of [[Qi'Reshalia]] and worked for eleven more years to take control over most of known [[Elanthia]]. Thus began the height of the Empire under Dzree. The Dragon Priests began confining non-S'Kra Mur to prison islands and held the world captive for nearly one hundred and sixty more years.		The last of the [[Ru'atin Peri'el]] fled to [[Aesry Surlaenis'a]], hiding away in a compound. Around this time, the empire also seized control of [[Qi'Reshalia]] and worked for eleven more years to take control over most of known [[Elanthia]]. Thus began the height of the Empire under Dzree. The Dragon Priests began confining non-S'Kra Mur to prison islands and held the world captive for nearly one hundred and sixty more years.

			As the empire attempted to take Leth Deriel, the entire army fell to "twisted, Fae-like creatures" in a darkling wood, save for one S'Kra Mur who returned with the tale. Dzree sent more armies, each larger than the last. Each were destroyed with only one member sent back with a tale of horror and destruction. It was soon after these failed attacks that Sithsia, the mad mage of legend, appeared in the citadel as an amber-eyed raven and spoke to Dzree, who attempted to have her arrested. Sithsia turned the guards to ash and with a smile, gave a prophecy of death to Dzree.
⚫	~~The fall of the empire began roughly a year after the mage [[Sithsia]] gave Dzree a prophecy of death. During this last year, Dzree drove herself insane with paranoia and died alone.~~ Immediately after Dzree died, the empire fell into chaos as factions formed, each supporting their chosen leader. Open warfare between the factions began in Qi'Reshalia and was quelled within twenty years by groups of wealthy merchants. It was another four years before the last of the factions were considered conquered and the merchant families formed the new [[Merchant Council\|ruling council of Qi'Reshalia]].
			:"I prophecy this, fool priest. In a years time, a warrior shall come who shall smite you where you stand and destroy you and your empire. All you have done will be as your former guards there -- ashes to the wind. This I promise, and this I say to be, I, the mage Sithsia."

			The fall of the empire began roughly a year after [[Sithsia]] gave this prophecy. During this last year, Dzree drove herself insane with paranoia. She recalled her armies into the citadel and closed the gates. Her sermons changed from the promise of an age of Peace to a time of terrible war, where the World Dragon woke and consumed all of Elanthia. She slaughtered any she suspected of being the assassin. In the end, she died alone, atop the corpse of a guard after over exerting herself.

		⚫	Immediately after Dzree died, the empire fell into chaos as factions formed, each supporting their chosen leader in a bid for the Blood Throne. Open warfare between the factions began in Qi'Reshalia and was quelled within twenty years by groups of wealthy merchants. It was another four years before the last of the factions were considered conquered and the merchant families formed the new [[Merchant Council\|ruling council of Qi'Reshalia]]. An uprising lead by Dzree's former slave, [[Neithrel]] and an Elven warrior named [[Savrin]] wiped out the remnants of the empire before both disappeared from the public eye.

In the same year, the empire began their assault on Shard. The assault on ended one year later when [[Corik]] fled.

			It was this first major assault that the Priests first began branding their sacrifices with the Dragon's Claw. This brand was placed on the foreheads of any that dared to fight back against the Dragon Priests.

	Following this victory, the Dragon Priest Empire started experimentations on [[Gor'Tog]]s and S'Kra Mur with the intent of "purification" and expanded their sacrifices to the other six races. They also established the [[Dark Hand]] as a breeding ground for the [[Adan'f]] and their other foul experiments. This area would later be the final tool used to bring down [[HighHold]], the[[Dwarf\|Dwarven]] capital of [[Adamantia]]. (Note: There is some discrepancy about this, due to conflicting information between [[A Tale of HighHold (book)\|A Tale of HighHold]] and [[Silver Key of Artifacts (book)\|The Silver Key of Artifacts]].
