Nearly about 30 of your young had dissapeared before HE came here.  Some of us saw him as he arrived and disappearded into the mountain to the east of our village.  Many were curious about the newcomber.  He remained in the mountain for a month before the newcomber reappeard.  He was a small silver dragon calling himself by a human name, Jeffrey.

This Jeffrey was indeed an odd dragon.  He spoke in human terms and with some words that were truely unknown to anyone in our realm.  One of our council took it upon himself to work with Jeffrey and understand why this dragon used such foreign words of language.  At long last sense was made of it when a funny old man in orange robes, strange hat and staff appeared in our village.  His name was Elminster of Waterdeep.

He explained how Jeffrey and some others had come to our realm from a place called the Realm of Earth for a reason he could not discuss.  Soon after his arrivial Elmister and Jeffrey left together.  Weeks later Jeffrey return with treasures that had been plundered from our temples years before his arrivial.  About the same time as his return slaver caravans were once more taking our people as slaves. Only this time they got a shock, or rather a frosting.  As they were about to capture a young silver dragon this Jeffrey attacked.  Crashing down from the skies he came, using his breath weapon upon the caravan.  As the slavers fought back Jeffrey destroyed 2 of their wagons and damaged a third.  The slavers attempted to pull back but Jeffrey pressed the attack finally destroying the third.  while the slaver scattered Jeffrey was able to identify the leader of the group and grabbed him at his shoulders.  Carring him high into the sky the slaver was warned neve to return and to spread the word that no slavers would be permited in HIS territory.

More time passed and Jeffrey was able to find others of our kind that shared his conviction.  Caravans of slavers attempted to enter and they were met with great resistance.  Then came the one caravan that would change it all.  One with men in Red.  On this day a caravan with the Red men, as we called them, decended upon or village in the night.  They abducted many of our people including one of the Earth Realm that Jeffrey called Mike.  As they were leaving the defenders were able to overtake them and freed all but one.  The one was Mike.  He was in what Jeffrey would call a tank of a wagon.

After the attack many of our people were wounded.  Jeffrey approached the council for help to rescue his friend.  The aid was given and the beginning of our villages destiny was written.  You see the men in Red were Thaian Mages and soldiers.  At near morning before dawn more than a quarter of or village left for Thay with Jeffrey commanding.  Others from the earth Realm were with us as we decended on Thay.  Durring our attack building were destroyed, many were injuried on both sides as we pressed on.  Finally we beached the tower were Mike was.  Jeffrey has never told any what happened inside but we fell back as suddenly a bright light shown and the Thaian stronghold was leveled.

When we returned and the elders were told of what had happened they went into deliberation.  Then after many hours the elder of teh council called Jeffrey in.  They expressed their concerns over what had happened in the past and their concerns of the future.  Jeffrey admitted he understood the concerns and told of ways that we could protect our peoples.  The elder then told him of the councils judgement.  At sunrise the following day the First Dragonlord of our village was named.  But still our village had no mane.  So it was decided that the Dragonlord would determine out villages name.  Dragondale was selected.  Soon after the term Dragonlord was replaced and was then after Jeffrey was known as King Jeffrey.

But the trouble with Thay was far from over.  Attackes have come from Thay as recently as afew months ago where the King and all of his staff including me narrowly escaped with our lives at a peace treaty declaration.  And I fear knowing Thay more trouble await aound the corner.

I hope you have found this brief history of how our small village became what it is today.  But I fear I must depart.  For as the Kings Advisor I do have my talons full.  Farewell my friends, and do visit us often.  Allow one of the guides to assist you on your travels.
