In the Arcverse's Borderlands D&D setting (unofficial) In the aftermath of Dryaniz's vicious onslaught, the cosmos itself seemed to weep for the dispersion of the Ancient Bronze Dragons, guardians of balance and harbingers of justice. Three of these magnificent beings—Thalendrin, Cymophane, and Oroxys—were flung across the fabric of the multiverse, their essence scattered like seeds in a cosmic storm. Yet, bound by an unbreakable bond to their Brass brethren and driven by a relentless pursuit of justice, they embarked on an odyssey that would span realities and test the very limits of their power.

Thalendrin, the Tidebender

Thalendrin found himself adrift in the Plane of Endless Oceans, a realm where the sea stretches into infinity under a storm-tossed sky. Adapting to his new domain, Thalendrin became the Tidebender, mastering the ebb and flow of its ceaseless waters. His scales took on the hue of the deep ocean, dark and fathomless, and his voice could calm the fiercest storm or summon devastating tidal waves. Despite his mastery over this boundless sea, Thalendrin's heart yearned for the unity of his kin, driving him to search the multiverse's currents for a path back to them.

Cymophane, the Gleam in the Dark

Cast into the Plane of Eternal Night, Cymophane became a beacon of hope in the unending darkness. Her scales shimmered with a soft, ethereal light, guiding lost souls to safety and battling the shadows that sought to engulf her new realm. Cymophane, known now as the Gleam in the Dark, harnessed the plane's latent magic to pierce the veil between worlds, seeking her brethren with a determination that shone as brightly as her luminous hide.

Oroxys, the Galewalker

Oroxys emerged in the Plane of Windswept Peaks, a land of towering mountains and howling gales. Adapting to the relentless wind, Oroxys became the Galewalker, soaring through the skies with unmatched grace. His scales sparkled like the snowcaps at dawn, and his roar echoed like thunder across the valleys. Oroxys harnessed the tempests at his command to tear through the barriers between realities, driven by the unyielding force of his will to reunite with his scattered family.

Reunion in the Shadow Realm

Their quest led them through the tapestry of the multiverse, from realms of endless night to planes of shimmering beauty, until at last, they found their Brass brethren in the Shadow Realm, a place of secrets and hidden truths. The reunion of the Brass and Bronze Dragons was a confluence of power and purpose, a fusion of elemental might and arcane wisdom that would echo through the ages.

Together, they devised a plan to escape their shadowy prison, combining their elemental affinities into a singular force of liberation. Thalendrin's control over water quenched the realm's smoldering edges, Cymophane's light pierced the pervasive gloom, and Oroxys's winds cleared their path of obstacles. Their Brass siblings lent their magic to the effort, weaving a tapestry of fire, healing, and knowledge that bolstered their escape.

The battle to break free from the Shadow Realm was epic, a maelstrom of elemental fury and draconic might that shook the foundations of the multiverse. As they tore through the fabric of reality, the dragons blinded Dryaniz with a blaze of dragon fire, a final act of defiance that ensured their escape and left the demon weakened, his plans thwarted.

Legacy of the Escape

The escape of the Ancient Bronze and Brass Dragons from the Shadow Realm is more than a tale of survival; it is a saga of unity, resilience, and the enduring bond between kin. Now free to roam the multiverse, these dragons stand as guardians against tyranny and oppression, their combined might a beacon of hope for all who suffer under the yoke of darkness.

Their story, woven into the fabric of the Arcverse, serves as a reminder that even in the face of insurmountable odds, the spirit of freedom can never be extinguished. As long as there are beings willing to fight for what is right, the light will always find a way to break through the shadows. The tale of the Ancient Bronze and Brass Dragons is not just a chapter in the Arcverse's history; it is a testament to the power of unity and the unbreakable will of the draconic heart.
