Once upon a time long ago, it's said, two
factions of dragons began to fight over the fate of humankind -- those
lead by Bahamut were good and wanted them to live, those lead by
Tiamat thought that humans should be exterminated. Furthermore, the
legends tell of Bahamut sharing his wisdom with the Dragon Knights
(who would later become the three orders of dragoons) and of Tiamat
and her followers turning some humans into evil monsters called
"thralls". It is said that the good dragons won, but then
retreated behind the mountains to the west so that the fight would
never start anew...
But the truth, unbeknownst to most, is that the
war just went underground, and became a sort of chess game. Bahamut
has a church, and the three dragoon orders are said to follow his
teachings... but they're really out to prevent those manipulated by
Tiamat's followers, particularly the legendary thralls (who in truth
are humans who sold their freedom for power), from gaining the upper
hand in humankind's power struggles, and often get guidance and aid
from the dragon clans which followed Bahamut.
The trouble is, the dragoons are dwindling in
number, and Tiamat's followers are coming to gain the upper hand... so
it's time for the secret to come out, and for the dragoons to seek the
aid of others... others who are willing to help gather the power of
the four elemental crystals and find the Shrine of the Elements so
that the way to the land of the angels, where it is said that Bahamut
himself went at the end of the war, can be opened and his help can be
enlisted.
