Reign of fire

We were always running, always hiding. Magic had been outlawed for centuries ever since the rise of the new monarch. With their reign came the absolute banishment of all magical beings and practices. Entire kingdoms and villages were forced into the shadows, retreating into secrecy to survive.
Driven by fear. fear of the immense power wielded by high-magic realms. the monarch unleashed a campaign of ruthless extermination. It began methodically, with targeted attacks on magical communities, and escalated into a full-blown purge. No one was spared. Even dragons, ancient creatures who commanded the elemental forces, were hunted and slain without mercy.
