The War of Dragons (785-850 PR) was the contemporaneous name of The War of Many Names when it first began in 785 PR. When the war moved beyond dragons and began to devour the realm in great factions of civil war as well, it evolved into another war entirely: Realm War II.
History
The War of Dragons most notably included the largest force of Draconian armies across Quelmar ever, who fought on the beaches of Kiston but also in various remote deployments of soldiers to all corners of the realm.
This chapter of the war was most notably the backdrop of the Quelmar campaign Into the Greedy Green.
This war was notable for being the first fought against the dragons using Airships, allowing the earth-bound heroes to take the fight to the skies against the dragons.
This specific "war" (really a chapter of the The War of Many Names) is typically marked by Tiamat's success over Bahamut, and his death on the battlefield in 850 PR.
Precursor Events
Signs of Tiamat's return and her war against the realm were being forseen for over a century before she truly returned, as evidenced by the slow and steady re-appearances of her fated Ten Heralds of Tiamat and their Razing of Isonhound.
Notable Events and Battles
Tiamat's Siege on Dolmvay (792 PR)
The Sundown (795 PR)
The Umbral Flood (826 PR)
