Long ago in the Province of Amakna, a dragon called Bolgrot descended—and when young knight Rykke Errel was the only one brave enough to face it, Bolgrot bowed and swore loyalty instead of killing him. The bond held until Rykke introduced the dragon to Helsephine, the enchantress he loved: Bolgrot, consumed by sudden rage, killed her and fled. Rykke pursued, mortally wounded the dragon in its cave, and died of his own wounds shortly after. Inside the fallen dragon, wise men discovered six unusually colored eggs called DOFUS. Reunited, their power was said to be absolute—and unstable enough to warrant hiding them from the world forever. Their secret was kept so well that even the keepers eventually forgot. Then one day, the DOFUS were gone, and adventurers began pouring into Amakna in search of them.
