The year 2800 AT brought a dire and unexpected situation to the Church of the Platinum Dragon in Ankh-Morport. The absence of Janaga Bronzeheart, their revered guardian, did not go unnoticed. Concerned for her well-being and the well-being of the region she protected, the church called upon the Champions of the Ankh to investigate the mystery that had befallen their guardian.
Setting forth on this perilous mission, the champions journeyed to the remote Dragon Fangs, where Janaga's lair resided. What they discovered was a scene of dark and sinister magic at work. The Dragonborn sent to summon Janaga had not only failed in their mission but had been subjected to a heinous transformation, mutating into grotesque creatures known as Woe Striders under the influence of a malevolent force—The Black Bonfire.
Entering Janaga's lair, the champions were met with an alarming sight. The mighty bronze dragon, was ensnared by powerful magic and subjected to a nightmarish ritual. An alchemist named Clementine, steeped in the dark arts, had taken control of the situation. With perverse intentions, Clementine was draining Janaga's life essence; her potent dragon blood, and infusing it with vile unatural sorcery.
The result of this unholy union was the creation of the Woe Striders, monstrous reptilian abominations imbued with potent antimagic abilities. These twisted creatures were now under Clementine's command, a threat to both Janaga and the world at large.
In a fierce and desperate battle, the champions of the Ankh confronted Clementine and her vile minions, determined to put an end to her dark machinations. The struggle was fierce, but their resolve was unbreakable.
With great effort and sacrifice, they managed to defeat Clementine and her sinister forces. Janaga, who had been traped and tormented, was finally freed from her magical bonds. Weakened but still resolute, she pledged her aid to the Firetide Conclave, recognizing the grave threat posed by the Black Bonfire and the need to protect the realm from such malevolent forces.
Thus Janaga Bronzeheart joined the Firetide Conclave in their defence, as they stood together in the Ankh-Bonfire War, united in their determination to thwart the dark designs of the Black Bonfire and preserve the safety and sanctity of The Hariq desert.
