Centuries before the birth of Draneil and even before Danthuv, during a time when dragons coexisted with humans in the same realm, a significant predicament loomed over the Dragon Empire. Dragon Emperor Dhajhorn faced an exceedingly grave issue—the question of his heir. The position of the Dragon Emperor was one that hinged on a legacy of succession, necessitating the passing of the title from one emperor to the next.
Dragon Emperor Dhajhorn, despite his many blessings, had fathered four daughters but was still without a male heir of his own. This became a pressing issue as he neared the end of his reign. The weight of not having a son weighed heavily on him, for he felt a profound sense of inadequacy in the face of his forebears, who had paved the way for him to ascend as the current emperor.
The possibility of not producing a male heir loomed as a potential setback, one that could bring about a shift in the balance of power within the empire.
