The First Scale Wars

Era of Dragons / ~ 10 million years ago
The period after dragons asserted themselves over the dinosaurs of the world and until the coming of giants is known by historians as the First Scale Wars. This long span of time, estimated at around five million years, includes few known details. What is known of this time is that dragons fought other dragons across the world for countless reasons. At first it was just primal instincts; however, during this age they grew rapidly in intelligence and evolved not only their cultural habits, but they also developed the first spoken and written language of Andaria, Draconic. It is thought this was when the various broods developed their preferences for terrain, and common personality traits.

Regardless, the period of dragons being the unchallenged master race of the world would change when the first true giants came to the world. The first written account of the appearance of giants dates this age to somewhere around five million years ago. However, the ancient tales from giant ruins indicate the giants first stepped upon the world when dragons were still young.
