The Dragon Wars: Episode One: Attack on the Capital!
Thunder. Terror. Fleeing citizens. Burning buildings. Charred corpses in the streets. Chaos. No one was entirely sure what had happened that fateful evening in Ardougne. Some who knew no better said it was a demon. Others, a vengeful spirit. Those who had seen it with their own eyes were too mortified to speak coherently.
"The legends...they're true."
The death toll reached twenty when all was said and done. The Kandars, with the aid of a few brave adventurers, managed to dowse the raging inferno that had spread through the city center, and by nightfall ash had stopped falling down like snow upon the town.
As morning came, however, word made its way through the beleaguered capital that a small unnamed village to the northeast had not been so fortunate. They had suffered the same assault by the same force, but unlike Ardougne, the citizens there had not fared so well. The entire settlement was reduced to ruin. By now, it became clear what had attacked Ardougne.
“Legends don’t burn down villages.”

All that for a pile of bricks.

The Dragon Wars: Part Two : Destruction of Paradise
It was a somber day in the once-proud city of Falador. Mourning citizens numbering in the hundreds flocked to the funeral of a dozen White Knights who had given their lives protecting the newly crowned Queen. Though the dragon that had attacked Saradomin's city was dead, Falador was crippled by the sheer amount of damage done.
Building after building had been burned severely by the ruby-colored menace, and the smell of burning wood filled the air long after the last fires had gone out. Those structures that weren't scorched by the dragon's flames were damaged by the flood water. Eager to help stop the inferno raging through the city, an adventurer cast a powerful spell on the moat surrounding the castle and dumped several tons of water upon the city.
The death toll was catastrophic. Aside from the twelve white knights, dozens of townsfolk were killed by the dragon's searing flames. Over a hundred more lay dead in the streets once the flood waters receded, swept away and drowned without ever knowing what hit them.
As for the dragon, its body lay dead within the courtyard of what was now a heavily damaged castle. It's gaping maw attracted swarms of flies as the corpse rotted away without attention. And wasn't this the perfect visual metaphor for the city itself? A formerly majestic beast lay dead with flies streaming from its mouth in a formerly majestic city that lay dead in the heart of the holiest nation on earth.
Falador would know peace no more.
