The song dragon Karasendrieth, the copper dragon Chatulio, and the few other wyrms who did not agree with Lareth's plan decided to work together to discover a way to cure the Rage. Although this plan would prevent the metallic dragons from slaughtering the humanoid peoples, the smaller races would have no protection from rampaging chromatics and would be forced to withstand attacks on their own. Lareth knew that this Rage would somehow be more terrible than previous ones and that the metallic dragons' usual tactics to escape the madness would be insufficient, so he convinced most of the assembled wyrms that their only option was to establish secret refuges across Faerûn where they would gather when it became necessary and submit to a powerful enchantment that would bind them to slumber until the Rage subsided. Lareth convened a conclave in the Galena Mountains in which dozens of metallic dragons gathered to discuss the coming frenzy. In 1372 DR, the gold dragon Lareth, the King of Justice, the elected sovereign of the gold dragons, sensed that the Rage of Dragons was going to soon begin. The small band eventually made a business partnership with the skilled wizards of Thentia, a city on the northern coast of the Moonsea, in which the arcanists created magical weapons and equipment to assist the companions in their assignments. Over the years, Dorn allied himself with the arctic dwarf ranger Raryn Snowstealer, the halfling scout Will Turnstone, and Pavel Shemov, a priest of Lathander, the god of the dawn, to form an elite group of hunters who operated around the Moonsea region. Once Dorn claimed his freedom, he began working as a mercenary who specialized in jobs that required him to kill dragons and other dangerous beasts. As Dorn grew up, the spellcaster had him trained to be a fighter in the arena and enchanted the golem parts for improved efficiency.Īfter he had become a veteran arena competitor, Dorn found a way to kill the mage and escape from Hillsfar. Even after the slaughter of the merchant party, Dorn still had to serve the wizard, to pay him back for the life-saving transplants as well as the years of service that his parents had owed. These plates and parts had to be replaced multiple times over the years as Dorn aged and outgrew them, which was an agonizing process. The mage found Dorn and saved his life by creating metal golem parts to make up the left side of his body. The wizard who owned Dorn and his parents magically transported to the site a few minutes later to retrieve whatever remained of his property.

The wyrm killed both Dorn's parents and tore off his left limbs, and much of the surrounding flesh, before leaving him to die.

In 1344 DR, when Dorn was nine, he and his parents were sent with a merchant caravan traveling to the city of Yulash, but their party was attacked by a red dragon during the journey.

In 1335 DR, Dorn Graybrook was born the son of two humans who served as indentured servants to a wizard of Hillsfar, a city-state on the southern coast of the Moonsea. The powerful Dracorage mythal continued to afflict dragonkind with periodic bouts of madness in order to ensure that wyrms would never take over the world again. The frenzy caused the kingdoms of the wyrms to collapse and the dragons lost their absolute dominion over Faerûn, allowing the elves and the other races to establish their own independent realms. The elven magic created the Dracorage mythal: tied to the appearance of the King-Killer Star, the mythal incited the Rage of Dragons, a madness that drove all of dragonkind into mindless destruction as well as turned them against their own offspring. Around −25,000 DR, at the dawn of history, both metallic and chromatic dragons ruled over the other races of the world until a circle of elven spellcasters performed an extraordinary work of high magic in their newly built citadel in the northernmost reaches of Toril.
