===The Ashen Dragons' Declaration of Neutrality===
The ''Ashen Dragons'' had already heard of the expansion of the Ascendancy. With their own megalomaniacal belief that ''they'' were destined to rule, they did not wish to join the ''Ascendancy'', but with they too were in no position to take a stand, as their forces had been long engaged in a battle of attrition against the ''Hunter Dragons'' with whom they shared their lands. To their own southern border, they also had begun to come to blows with the ''Pure Dragon'' sponsored ''Orthodoxy of Kalarn'', and the Argent-commanded expanding armies of the ''Arrantian City-States''.
<br>Still, the ''Ashen'' were strong enough to deny the ''Ghost Dragons'' rest in their lands, and so the ''Ghost Dragon'' refugees were forced to continue to flee around and through the Ashen Lands and continue further south.
<br>It was not long after that word reached the ''Ashen Dragons'' that the ''Pure'', ''Argents'' and ''Solars'' had been convinced of ''Endless Night's'' threat by the ''Ghost Dragons'' and had formed an ''Alliance of Light'' to counteract the threat.
<br>Unfortunately for the ''Ashen Dragons'', they had little opportunity to petition to join this Alliance, as the ''Ascendancy'' had reached their northern borders, and with it their conquering armies had arrived also.
<br>The ''Ashen Dragons'' saw that their kingdom would bear the brunt of the fighting whichever side they joined, but also recognised that they themselves represented a significant enough force that neither could afford to drive them into enemy hands. They declared themselves neutral, and declared that the ''Ashen Kingdom'' would remain inviolate to North and South. Their gamble paid off, and neither ''Ascendancy'' nor ''Alliance'' dared to cross their skies.
