Lore
Since before the reach of memory or history, the immense dragon known as Nidhoggr has slumbered beneath Praetoria, buried in the nethermost reaches of the Deep.
But when the legions of Chaos tore open rifts in the boundaries that separated the Splinterlands from the other realms of existence, Nidhoggr stirred. For he is a guardian dragon and custodian of these ley lines.
He rose from the chasm in which he'd buried himself, shook off a mountain of rock and debris, and enlisted the denizens of the Deep to travel to the surface and observe. Soon, he learned of the Chaos Empire's trespass. He learned of the Splinterlanders failure to stop them.
And he found them both guilty.
