As Red explains to Brian, there used to be dragon riders who had a close partnership with their steeds. Dragon and man were in a closely bound alliance which was beneficial to both parties, however this soured with the advance of man's technology.
In time the dragons were betrayed and forced into exile. Those who opposed the change fought back and a huge bloody war resulted. Dragon riders remained true to their oath of allegiance, but their methods died along with the dragons.
It has always been written that dragons were the powerful enemy, the scourge of mankind. But it appears they have been wronged, and it was instead man's thirst for power and knowledge that muddied the water. Brian finds himself struggling to believe this information at first, but soon learns that dragons are not all bad. Well, some of them. But the same can easily be said of mankind.
