The Background Story:
by Rokkumon
When the human Quillas slayed the greatest Dragon Lord Rahkzur, the magical powers within the beast engulfed him. The powers bestowed upon Quillas made him the first Stilland God. Ever since Quillas obtained independence for all of Stilland's people, the Lord God Quillas proposes a challenge to all mortals once every 100 hundred years. Deep within the core of Stilland, Lord Quillas places a mythical Ghost Dragon egg which incubates over the 100 year period. On the 100th day of the 100th year, Quillas releases the dragon upon the land of Stilland and lets all mortals who wish to battle the beast to venture to Mount Apathecus to fight the dragon. Any mortal who can slay the mythical Ghost Dragon will become a Demi-God. This year, Lord Quillas' son, Jaquor, wass one of the mortals to vie for the title of Demi-God, Ghost Dragon Slayer and to gain the power of Gods. In doing so, he would become the rightful heir to the throne of Stilland. After traveling to Mount Apethecus, Jaquor watched as each mortal before him tried to best the mighty beast and failed to do so. When he was the last challenger left standing, Jaquor entered the basin on the peak of Mount Apethecus and went face to face with the mystical being.
Jaquor had waited his entire life for this great moment of destiny. He would let no other man or woman take his rightful place atop the throne of Stilland. An epic battle soon commenced as the son of the Lord God Quillas wasted no time to attack the beast. Mightily he held his ground against the power creature for quite some time. Eventually, just when it seemed the beast was ready to be slain, it lashed back with a furious rage. The dragon's attacked crippled Jaquor in the worst way by shattering his heraldic sword in the clutch of its mighty jaws. Left with no option to finish the dragon, Jaquor hesitantly tried to run away but it was too late. . .
At the end of the battle, Jaquor was mortally wounded. The beast stood high above the slain body of Jaquor and held him within the grasp of his great claws. As the spawn of Quillas let out a final shriek, Lord Quillas, who was mortified by the sight of his only son slain by the dragon, descended to the basin within Mount Apethecus. Quillas himself went toe to toe with the beast, quickly learning that this incarnation he had created himself was much more powerful than the one he had faced when he became the supreme ruler of Stilland. Being that he himself was surging with such a might, his own creation had become more menacing than anything any man, women, child or even god could ever fathom.
After an intense, magical filled battle, Lord Quillas thrust his sword deep into the heart of the beast. As the beast shrieked in pain, it lunged high into the air preparing to topple Lord Quillas once and for all. Before the Ghost Dragon could land its final blow, Lord Quillas summoned the power from the citizens and denizens of Stilland enabling him to unleash a mystical, harrowing explosion that radiated from the tip of his blade, which was still lunged deep in the dragon's heart. The force caused the insides of the dragon to immediately vaporize, and the rest of the dragon's body exploded in all directions and as high as the heavens themselves. Eventually, the remains rained down all across Stilland.

The great Hermit Matheous, who is said to have lived when Quillas destroyed Rahkzur, has been told stories about the great fight and was brought samples of the teeth and teeth of the Ghost Dragon remains by an unknown adventurer. After analyzing the fragments of the dragon, Matheous finds great mystical power contained within the pieces, and offers to bestow mystical treasure to any traveler or adventurer who can bring him the magical items.
