It is the late 1980's, on this world called Earth. A group of Role-players have once more gathered for a night of Table top Gaming in the Games of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. The setting for this session was a Freeform Setting that would end the 6 players in the Forgotten Realms setting. With character sheets in hand the session was underway.

Unremarkable things occurred in this session of gaming. The player meet some of the most notable figures in Toril, The Simbol and Elminster among others. Each player more or less had a private role-play going until they were to join back up. While the others adventured, one player pondered what was going on. Then it was his turn. He was Jeffrey, a player of AD&D for many years and Dungeon Master as well. He meet with Elminster to revealed the reason why he had been brought to Toril and explain to him that he was more than what he say reflected back. He convinced Jeffrey to think as far as he could and remember what life was like on Earth years ago when Magic had been such a part of life. When Jeffrey's Character awoke he was no longer human but a Silver Dragon.

Elminster taught Jeffrey all the basics of being a dragon and how to use what he knew of the Realm to assist. However he would need to travel to see The Simbol alone. Pointing him in the Direction of Aglarond he left Jeffrey to contact the others. As Jeffrey traveled he battled with several Harpies. After dispatching them the Dragon mentality took over to seek out their lairs. He had started his hoard.

Finally after a week of travel he arrived in Aglarond where after a few days he was able to meet with The Simbol and gathered up in vital Intelligence on what was happening. Unfortunately a lot of history of what occurred after this meeting with The Simbol have been lost. What is know is that a Silver Dragon appeared from the Mountains and appeared in our fishing village. This Silver was strange for a dragon, he spoke in human terms and with some words that were truly unknown to anyone in our realm. One of our council took it upon himself to work with Jeffrey and understand why this dragon used such foreign words of language. At long last sense was made of it when a funny old man in orange robes, strange hat and staff appeared in our village. His name was Elminster of Shadowdale.

While at the village Jeffrey explored. He located a large temple with a Priestess kneeling before an alter. When she rose she turned and spoke to him. Finding out that some of his horde that he had accumulated from the Harpies had been stolen from this temple. He return to his Lair that he had set up in the mountains near the village and recovered the statues returning them to the temple. Finding that this place was a place he wished to remain he went out to mark his "territory". About the same time returned slaver caravans were once more taking our people as slaves. Only this time they got a shock, or rather a frosting. As they were about to capture a young silver dragon this Jeffrey attacked. Crashing down from the skies he came, using his breath weapon upon the caravan. As the slavers fought back Jeffrey destroyed 2 of their wagons and damaged a third. The slavers attempted to pull back but Jeffrey pressed the attack finally destroying the third. while the slaver scattered Jeffrey was able to identify the leader of the group and grabbed him at his shoulders. Carrying him high into the sky the slaver was warned never to return and to spread the word that no slavers would be permitted in HIS territory.

More time passed and Jeffrey was able to find others of our kind that shared his conviction. Caravans of slavers attempted to enter and they were met with great resistance. Then came the one caravan that would change it all. One with men in Red. On this day a caravan with the Red men, as we called them, descended upon our village in the night. They abducted many of our people including one of the Earth Realm that Jeffrey called Mike. As they were leaving the defenders were able to overtake them and freed all but one. The one was Mike. He was in what Jeffrey would call a tank of a wagon.

After the attack many of our people were wounded. Jeffrey approached the council for help to rescue his friend. The aid was given and the beginning of our villages destiny was written. You see the men in Red were Thaian Mages and soldiers. At near morning before dawn more than a quarter of or village left for Thay with Jeffrey commanding. Others from the earth Realm were with us as we descended on Thay. During our attack building were destroyed, many were injured on both sides as we pressed on. Finally we breached the tower where Mike was. Jeffrey has never told any what happened inside but we fell back as suddenly a bright light shown and the Thaian stronghold was leveled.

When we returned and the elders were told of what had happened they went into deliberation. Then after many hours the elder of the council called Jeffrey in. They expressed their concerns over what had happened in the past and their concerns of the future. Jeffrey admitted he understood the concerns and told of ways that we could protect our peoples.

The elder then told him of the councils judgment. At sunrise the following day the First Dragonlord of our village was named. But still our village had no name. So it was decided that the Dragonlord would determine out villages name. Dragondale was selected. Soon after the term Dragonlord was replaced and was then after Jeffrey was known as King Jeffrey.

That is the story of Dragondale before it came to the Internet. What happened next? The story continues:

You see this is where things change. About this time back in the Realm of Earth this the group of gamers was about to break up. Jeffrey had thought his gaming days were over with a coming move. But they weren't. After he moved he had heard all this talk of the Internet. Intrigued he found his way onto it and a Place called Web Broadcasting System. Finding friends who shared his sense of honor he decided to once more reopen the World of Dragondale. But in a limited way. He would reinstate the Knights of Dragondale. He would use the Knights to help out those in trouble or being harassed by others. Sure enough it worked.

After a few months Jeffrey began to notice a banner on his screen. The Banner was for a new Room on WBS. DragonHold, hosted by Ly'szeth the Green. He informed the others he was going to go and investigate this new Room to see if perhaps he could bring Dragondale back to life. After speaking with Ly'szeth extensively, Dragondale was re-born. Once more role-playing could occur within the realm of Dragondale. Then WBS opened a chance for Dragondale to be it's own room. Jeffrey's dream to have Dragondale as it's own place would be realized. The Room Dragondale_City was born. Jeffrey was the Host and had many Co-Hosts and member called the City Watch to aid him. Role-playing continued in Dragondale and all was quite well. Many friendships blossomed over the years Dragondale was on WBS.
