Dragon Kings

The Dragon Kings were the most intelligent and powerful creatures of the early ages of the world. They were vaguely humanoid in shape, although slightly larger. Apparently a highly evolved member of the dinosaur family, they also had magical powers. Originally from Hyperborea, they ruled the entire world at one point. Once the first city of men was built in Lemuria, and the Dragon Kings migrated there after Hyperborea was overwhelmed with ice, a thousand year war was fought between them. Eventually the Dragon Kings were defeated, and the last survivors, their magic-using priests, went into hiding.
