At this same time a group of Iksars were growing discontent with the Plaguebringers. In addition to the lax management, they found themselves left out of guild events, since such events were held in "good cities" where worshipers of Cazic-Thule are not welcomed. One of these Iksars, a charismatic lizard named Swifthand, had a vision for a better guild; a guild made up of friends who would work together to help each other and have fun. Well liked by all, Swifthand gathered to him twenty of his most trusted Iksar friends, and broke away from the Plaguebringers. So it was, in the winter of the first year of the new millennium, Dragonchow was born.

Not long afterwards, Talnic, tired of being Guildleader of the Plaguebringers, dissolved that guild. Now it only exsists in the memories of those who knew it.

The early days of Dragonchow were joyful for the young Iksars, who created, the now mostly forgotten tradition of "Kill the Guildleader Day". Despite its malevolent sounding title, this was a gathering of the guild for fun, and a means of getting to know each other better.

Over the months alliances were established with many other guilds, most notably with the Saryrn Guild Alliance (SGA) but these associations have been left dormant as of late due to previous bad experiences during multi-guild raids where other guild’s selfish attitudes, and poor organization left DC with a bitter taste for such endeavors.
