On the day of the wedding, Leia—a descendant of the White Dragon—was abducted by the Regent, Cares, while the city of Valen was laid waste by the Black Dragon, Sarkan. Devastated by the loss of his father, Adrian awakened the powers of a Paladin. Together with his companions, he stormed the Dragon Court in the clouds, where he slew Sarkan, Cares, and the traitorous Evelyn. Ultimately, he and Leia sealed the Abyssal Rift, bringing an end to the conflict between humans and dragons; the two were then wed in the rebuilt city of Valen.
