The Sandwing Queen was killed by a scavenger, who stole a large part of the Sandwing Treasure. As none of her three heirs had challenged her, no one was sure who the next Sandwing queen should be.
They argued and fought between each other, eventually bringing other dragons into it as well. Tensions rose, and many dragons expected a war as the princesses allied themselves with other tribes.
Until...
They disappeared.
All Royal and High Ranking dragons vanished overnight, including those of other tribes. Even the few Animi were gone.
Dragons were confused and unsure, blaming the other tribes, but there were no real battles, as many feared that if they tried to take leadership and fight, they'd end up like their former leaders.
Some left their homes, to try and figure out what happened, but many try to keep living normally.
The current year is 4,994, two years later. Rumors have started spreading about an Animus appearing, which caused many more dragons to start traveling. While many want their queens back, plenty of dragons also simply want to use them to gain special powers.

All dragons suddenly change appearance, so that all tribes share the same traits. A young Animus is revealed to have caused this, who had accidentally discovered her powers when she wished it was easier to tell the differences between each tribe. When asked to undo her enchantment, she refused, saying she already tried, but it didn't work. No other Animi were able to do it either, likely because she had snapped her charcoal while saying the enchantment, making the spell more powerful.

The Sandwing queen is found dead outside of her palace, with a scavenger spear stabbed through her eye. None of her heirs had challenged her, so it was unclear who should take her place. As none of the heirs could agree on what to do, councils were made to decide, but all were found to have been bribed by one of the heirs. The heirs formed alliances with the other tribes and were threatening war.
A few months after the queens death, all royal dragons disappeared overnight, with no clues to indicate what happened. All known Animi appear to be gone too.
