The Dragon Realms is the main universe of The Legend of Spyro series. Only the majority of the land is explored throughout the series, and only a few areas are mentioned.
When the first purple dragon, Malefor, chose evil, the world has been spiraling into chaos ever since. His influence shrouded the world in darkness as he attempted to rule it. For years, the Dragons fought for the realms against Malefor's army of Apes. It was only until the intervention of the current purple dragon, Spyro, did the war turned the tide and the forces of darkness were driven back. After Malefor was sealed away at the hands of the Ancestors in Dawn of the Dragon, Spyro undid Malefor's rule using his power, bringing about a new age of peace to the Realms.
Malefor has risen once more, and after his return, the Dragon Realms had been plunged into shadow. The Dragon Realms are at war with Malefor and his dark army, while in the process, more of the land is explored in this third chapter.
