Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

**Avery**

The moment we pulled into the town limits of Blackbriar, I suddenly realized that everything I read was true. The history

of this place is a dark one. Pre-1600 it was originally sacred ground for rituals performed by Native Americans. In the late

1600s, European settlers arrived and there were witch trials where many witches and innocent souls burned. In the 1700s,

a mysterious epidemic breaks out, and the town is essentially now dead. Many think that the witches got their revenge. In

the 1810s, War of 1812 begins; Blackbriar becomes a penal colony, has a prison and a hospital where many soldiers were

tortured. Their bodies are buried in unmarked graves. In the 1830s, the Native American forced removal policy in North

America started and many died unnecessarily. In the1850s, a gem mine was found and the town revitalized. In the 1860s,

it housed a prison camp for Civil War POWs was built and then later used as a normal prison. In the 1890s: Native

Americans ended organized resistance; people all over disappeared. In the early 1900’s: Blackbriar became a tourist town

for those interested in the occult, the prison closes; however, covens formed and two practiced Draconian Wicca. In 1939,

there were “strange events” and bizarre sightings that happened at Black Lake. In 1963, the mayor died suddenly,

followed by the rest of his staff and that led to the banishment of certain types of magic and one was Draconian Wicca.

In 1976, a woman named Dahlia Gill enacted her ritual to summon Tiamat using human and dragon sacrifices. Dragons

from Naga and another tribe eradicated her coven.

Basically, Blackbriar holds some dark magic due to pissed-off spirits from Native American rituals combined with the

performed by the coven trying to rebirth a god and create a paradise

their pain and suffering as well. They hoped by absorbing Tiamat’s chaotic powers that they would

decide the fate of humans and dragons. Thankfully humans and dragons stopped them, but
