Sunset took a sharp breath. "They cover it all in Draconic Knowledge class, but the basics are this: in this world, dragons are so powerful that they used to enslave humans. It was like that for many years, until a brave human mage called Anastara Diatu met the one dragon with sort of a conscience, Ire. Together they codified magic so humans could learn to use it, and then killed most of the dragons because they weren't going to give up the whole having slaves thing easily."

It's not really a happy story. She shook her head. "Ire is still alive and living under the school, but it turns out a few more dragons survived. So now we have a problem."
