The Ledgend of Dragon Bone

Long ago, when Man and Dragon still struggled for dominion over the earth, there came a time when the light of Mankind was nearly extinguished.  When the Dragons had all but driven man to extinction; when a tattered handfull was all that remained of the once proud race of Man, and a failing Humanity huddled together at the edge of the abyss, while Dragons filled the sea and sky and crawled everywhere upon the earth.

...but even as the aweful Darkness decended one of the Great Ones took pitty, seeing the spark of Mankind flicker in the shadow of the Dragons' wings.  He reached down and covered us with his left hand, and with his right he rained fire and metal upon the Earth so that many of the Dragons were destroyed and driven from the sky. -Then was mankind loosed and comanded: "Take up the metal that I have cast upon the Earth and mix it with the fire that still burns.  When the metal is as dragon's blood then shall you cast them in the likeness of the talons and teeth of your enimy, thusly..."  And he Shewed them and when this was done, he commanded them; "Take up these Fangs and these Talons that I have given you and go forth and secure your destiny"....
