Millennia ago, the Byres had befriended the Silver Dragon, [[Yderigrisel]], and made a pact to build a shrine to offer silver to it. In exchange Yderigrisel would be there for them<ins> in their hour of need</ins>. Yderigrisel would eventually die, but a ‘legend’ would say that it would come back for the Byres' in their hour of need. This would come true as Yderigrisel did came back to fight in the [[Creler Wars]], were it would perish for good. <ins>Yderigrisel’s death</ins> was the greatest tragedy for the Byres. They would still keep honoring the ancient pact of offering silver at its shrine, to the point that it became a family tradition.<ref name="7.45">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/09/7-45/ Chapter 7.45]</ref> | Millennia ago, the Byres had befriended the Silver Dragon, [[Yderigrisel]], and made a pact to build a shrine to offer silver to it.
