History
The Valheru, also called The Dragon Lords, were the first race and among the most powerful in the known universe. They rode on the backs of great dragons, travelling throughout the lands in search of plunder. Arrogantly presuming themselves to be gods, they also created lesser races to serve as slaves.
As a result of their wanton acts of destruction, energy was released from the once mighty civilizations the Valheru Destroyed. Reaching a critical point, these energies formed a new pantheon of gods. While the new gods strove among themselves, the Valheru, exhorted by one of thier own (Draken-Korin), attempted to overthrow the new order of gods.
Ashen-Shugar was the only Dragon Lord to disapprove of his Draken-Korin's plans, but he did nothing but watch as the other Dragon Lords rose to battle the gods. Ashen-Shugar, the most powerful of the Valheru, felt something "alien" to his kind, a desire to protect the world.
Space and time became warped as the Valheru battled the gods in the time known as the Chaos Wars. Of one hundred gods, only sixteen survived, but the Valheru were defeated. With the exception of Ashen-Shugar, the Valheru were cast away into another dimension to prevent them from returning to their homeworld, Midkemia. With the coming of the new gods Ashen Shugar felt himself become alien to the new order, as if reality rejected his nature and he fell into a torpor, sleeping in his mountain on his throne many ages after the rest of the Valheru had gone away.
