Chromatic Insurgency

During the height of the Karixti Empire, a growing sense of discontent was brewing. The chromatic dragonborn, the offspring of Tiamat, were becoming disillusioned with their position in the empire. They were treated as second class citizens by their metallic brethern, which the metallic dragonborn justified due to the chromatic dragonborn's predisposition to violence and scheming.

While the bulk of Drakenston's forces were in southern Ventaris putting down an Orcish horde, a charismatic young blue dragonborn named Cavxin Vross gathered together a large group of chromatic soldiers and citizens. With their backing, Vross attempted a coup at Drakenstone itself. At first, his attempt was successful. They took the Scalelord prisoner and controlled the capital, but once the main army returned, they were outclassed.

With a daring escape attempt behind the lines of their enemies, Vross and his followers fled south to the tip of Ventaris. They then stole boats from pirates operating in the Free Roams and sailed to the Spiteferns, where they disappeared into the dense jungle.
