The great plague war:

The eleven dragon elements frequently fought over boundaries and deities. Each element worshiped their own deity, which resulted in dominance skirmishes. Tired of these clashes, leaders came from around Sornieth to create an elemental counsel, where religion would not be a factor. The eleven elements were plague, fire, light, wind, nature, water, ice, lightning, arcane, shadow, and earth. The counsel worked for a while, until certain elements began forming deeper alliances, causing a bias and imbalance.

Roughly 200 years ago, the plague dragons felt outcast from the other elements, because their ideas were being ignored within the counsel. They decided to spread pestilence through their neighboring lands in hopes of sending a message to those outcasting them. They did so mid-morning, when most of the dragons were fast asleep in their nests. One by one, the elemental hearts were to be contaminated, but the plan did not make it very far before word got around that the plague dragons were sickening the sacred hearts. The deviants had successfully gained control of four of the elemental territories. Once captured, the leaders of the uprising were locked up and sentenced to eternal slumber in remote locations. Many of the remaining plague dragons went into hiding, now truly outcasted from dragon society.

A lot of good dragons were lost that day. When the hearts were contaminated, the land was overruled with plague, and the elements struggled to inhabit their homeland. Most dragons suffered extreme sickness, while others mutated into plague hybrid dragons to survive. Some of the hybrids went mad, while others thrived with their new abilities. Those that went mad were sealed away. The counsel hoped they would be able to overcome their instability while locked up, but few came back to their senses. These hybrid dragons essentially evolved to display both sides of the elements – the plague within fought to devour the opposing element, but part of them would always remain genetically untouched.
Valentine’s mother, Ama, survived the mutation, and became half plague and half arcane. His father, Elsi, was one of the few remaining full arcane dragons. Elsi was hatched shortly after the incident, fortunately, his parents were able to save him from the plague by moving him to the arcane shrine. Each element had a shrine for their deity, inside the shrine was an object called “the heart”, it was pure elemental power harvested into a stone. The hearts were a gift from their deities that protected the land. The strongest dragons were elected to watch over the remaining hearts in the event of another takeover – as one of the few remaining pure arcane elementals, Elsi was chosen to watch over the arcane heart. Valentine had been told these stories ever since he was young, and he knew it was his birthright to become the next guardian. Some of the more gruesome details were left out for the innocence of his mind when he was younger. For example, from his understanding, he never knew of the hybrids that went mad.
