In his final battle the Warrior monks of Tibet would not relent and courageously fought against his evil. They removed the dagger from the Dragon Emperor's heart - reducing him and his army to carnage. Today three parties hold the dagger close to their heart. And all for entirely different reasons. Lara is one of these.
