Maybe this'll stay on the board for a whole two minutes >.>
Word to the wise, don't press refresh if your lucky enough to read the story, because I'm may delete it...again...
One hundred years ago, growing from a small conflict to a full-scale war, The Dragon Wars began. They had been going on and off for those past one hundred years, each side starting campaigns against the other, each side capturing land from the other, then losing it during the next campaign of the opposing side. This land was barren and dry, no one wished to set foot on it, let alone cultivate it. These wars would be come to known as the bloodiest and costliest series of wars to have ever been seen. Both sides, Kaithul and Sherejekt, were devastated. Their armies were at less than half manpower. Their lands and people were exhausted from the wars. The minor breaks between the wars gave them some relief, but there was never enough time to make the repairs needed.
There were more losses than just land and men. One of the proudest and most powerful race, the Dragons, was lost. Very few were left. Some would say there were none. In the early campaigns they were used as war mounts and spearheads of assaults. They took a heavy toll, and quickly. The dragons were big targets, and the commanders didn't understand that their size didn't make them invulnerable. The bodies of dragons fell quickly; they were most likely the first causality in a battle. This, coupled with their slow reproduction rate, doomed them.
There were some dragons remaining, but they were few and far between. They were also reclusive, and never allowed anyone to know where they were. They were rumored to be the wisest and strongest, and that is why they had survived as long as they had. It was also rumored that the King of Sherejekt had come to acquire a very powerful dragon. It supposedly held great power in magic, and could devastate armies with ease. Since this dragon was under the control of the King of Sherejekt, he wasn't hesitant to use it against Kaithul.
That was the first 3 or 7 paragraphs. I'd allow pople to play as either humans, elfs, merfolk and possibly angels, demons and dragoons. Obviously, I'd add in a description of each race.
But of course, other than the biggining I havn't a clue what to put in in terrms of twists and turns.
