History of the Moonglow Sea
B.A. = Before Adeodatus, A.E.D. = After Elder Drakes
Defiance of the Elder Drakes [??? B.A.]
Defiance of the Elder Drakes [??? B.A.]
The Shipwreckers were, like most of the Realm, once under the thumb of the Elder Drakes. At the time they had lived further inland, in the saltwater lakes of Cyr, and were used as servants and labourers for generations. While it was not an ideal life, the Shipwreckers tolerated the rule of the Drakes until Queen Midas rose to power; she was a cruel, vain leader, who thought little of her subjects and even less of the Shipwreckers.
One night, twelve servants attempted to assassinate her, sneaking into her quarters in the dead of night. They brutally wounded her and left her to die, but, after weeks of careful treatment, Midas recovered. She ordered that all the Shipwrecker servants in the palace be imprisoned and the culprits killed; though more than twelve died in her investigation. Midas ordered attacks on Shipwrecker villages, determined to stomp out resistance to her - though she only succeeded in driving them away.
The Shipwreckers fled in two directions; one group to the cold Moonglow Sea, and the others to the southern Whaletooth Archipelago, where they might hide from the Drake Queen’s wrath.

The northern shipwreckers are pending a large lore expansion that will provide more details on their history.
