Before the Ashfall, the world was ruled by forty families. Forty bloodlines. Forty dragons. They called it a Freehold — as if forty tyrants together make a democracy.
No one knows what made the dragons stop. The Vaelarians died before they agreed.
The Conclave is about to elect a new Archon — the old one is dying without an heir — and the forty houses are about to tear themselves apart over a throne that will be ash within the year. You already know how it ends. They do not.
