The Dragon War is the name used to refer to the war between the Dragon Riders under Vrael and the dragon-riding rebels, called the Forsworn, under Galbatorix.

[edit] Origin

Galbatorix, his dragon, and two of his friends were recklessly travelling through the remaining Urgal territory when they were ambushed by Urgals. Galbatorix fought off the Urgals, but, tragically, his friends and his cherished dragon were both killed.

Half mad with loss, Galbatorix demanded that the Dragon Riders give him a second dragon. The council assembled to judge him (including Oromis) refused. Galbatorix was angry and, with the help of Morzan, he stole a black dragon named Shruikan from Urû'baen, then called Ilirea.

Then, with thirteen other corrupt Riders, including Morzan, he rebelled against the Dragon Riders.

[edit] The war

The war was bitter. Though Galbatorix was outnumbered, he had chosen the best Riders to join the rebellion. He himself was an expert at wizard duelling.

The elves and dwarves also entered the war, on the side of the Dragon Riders in an attempt to quell Galbatorix's rebellion but to no avail.

During the First Battle of The Burning Plains, the ground became very burnt because of the dragons' flames and it has never fully healed.

[edit] The Fall

The Dragon Riders were defeated and their capital destroyed. Most of the dragons were then slaughtered.

The elves were pushed back into their forest home, and the dwarves went underground.

The human kingdom, called Broddring was then transformed into the Empire.
