Sekkai was once a prosperous land, farmers had plentiful crops, the politicians only had the
smallest of infractions, dragons rose regularly and candidates were always needed.
Everything was flourishing and successful, a veritable utopia. It seemed that life couldn't
get any more perfect.
But perfection cannot last forever. Something was forming, something only known as the
Taint; civilians feared it, riders hated it, few could survive it. The Taint ravaged the
lands of Sekkai and twisted the minds of dragons and riders alike, mutating them them from
keepers of peace to mutated behemoths with slavering jaws and a mind for one thing, and one
alone. Pure destruction.
The battles were long and bloody, involving the destruction of the Academy at one point,
even though it was eventually rebuilt. Things were hardly easy on the Sekkaians, though,
especially as the Tainted forces began to gain ground bit by bit, steadily spreading their
influence and expanding the Desolation until it began to eat away at the lands of Sekkai
like a swiftly spreading cancer. They was little to stop their growing force, but things
were swiftly about to change for the worse, especially with the introduction of a new
Tainted breed. This breed, an off shoot of the Rosemary breed, were hardly combatants but
possessed the capability to kill many with relative ease. These dangerous creatures were
able to infect many with a deadly disease, killing off most of the gravity, lava, ice, and
glass dragons and sterilizing those remaining. This dealt a crushing blow to Sekkai and land
was lost almost instantly, the war swiftly turning around and tilting discernibly in the
favor of the Taint.
Now, ten years since the events of the original Sekkai, only the East remains, Niyushi
packed with those remaining Sekkaian refugees. The forces of good have been decimated and
the victory for the Tainted seems secure, but there are stirrings among the Qih-nzak that
could spell either a turning point or doom for all...
Welcome, then, to Sekkai Fractures.
