Batrura

Biography

Nomenclature

Batrura is not the name the dragon was given by his own kind.  Batrura means ‘the betrayer’, and the name was given to him after he first attacked the humans he was supposed to be protecting.

Youth and Family

Batrura was the final of three offspring to be born to a pair of benevolent black dragons, a rarity upon Tellest, since black dragons are known to be the most vicious creatures on the planet.  The pack of dragons resided in a desert region on the far west side of Raleigh.

Batrura’s father was named Godora, the guardian, and his mother was named Duenmatter, the den mother.  His sisters went unnamed to humanity, even as the dragons grew older.

Godora was very peaceful with the neighboring humans within his land.  They had a very symbiotic relationship.  The people offered up food and companionship in exchange for protection.

Betrayal

Godora and Duenmatter were betrayed by the very people they were protecting.  While other dragon’s were decimating the countryside,Raleigh’s king was offering large rewards for the heads of dragons.  Black dragons, being incredibly dangerous, offered up the largest reward.  While Duenmatter slept, the dragons’ human tarries snuck into her den and killed her.  They used Godora’s grief to ambush him as well, and he was slain soon after.  The offspring were spared, as no one even knew of their existence.  Batrura saw everything, however, and quietly began to plot revenge.

Survival, Revenge, and Tragedy

After the slaying of his parents, Batrura approached the humans.  He pretended not to know of their betrayal, and offered up his services, however limited due to his age, to feed his family.  His sisters, too, never knew the truth of their parents’ death, believing that dragon hunters from far to the east had come west in search of a prize.

For over twenty years, Batrura waited, biding his time.  Then, as the humans who killed his parents grew older, and began to die of old age, Batrura struck.  The dragon ravaged the people he was supposedly protecting, murdering the youngest child in every family.  His bloodlust was unyielding, lasting for days and days.

But his vengeance came at a price.  While he was killing the humans he despised so much, a small contingent went to his den, and destroyed his two sisters.  Mad with hate and rage, Batrura demolished the town in its entirety, leaving very few survivors, but just enough to spread the tales of his horrific deeds.

Ascension

Personal Crusade

After his vengeance for his parents has been sated, a new rift had opened up for his sisters.  Batrura had seen what his bloodlust could do if not kept in check, and decided to prevent anymore barbaric occurrences from happening, from either him or the humans.

Batrura began traveling the country, the continent, and eventually the world, finding dragons in need, which were still being hunted by humans and other races.  Rather than killing those who would hunt the dragons, he spared them, and rescued the dragons from harm.

It is important to note that Batrura spared redemption for no dragon, regardless of color, gender or age.  This humility and outreach spawned what was called the “Iridescent Dragonflight”.

The City of Dragons

Batrura began his trust of the humanoid races slowly, but realized he needed them to reach the full potential of his dreams.  His vision settled upon the elves first, finding them a creature of compassion and grace.  He believed if anyone could forgive his prior transgressions, it would be them.

The elves helped Batrura and the Iridescent Dragonflight create a city where dragons and dragonkin could walk freely, safe from those who would persecute them.  Over time, the secrets of the City ofDragonswashed to the ears of other races.  In time, the City ofDragonsbecame a hub for all the goodly races of Tellest, including the once distrusted humans.

A Heart Anew

It was Batrura’s good nature and hard work that led him to the side of Aestrasidus.  The white dragon became his mate, and eventually, the Queen at the side of the King of the City ofDragons.  That King was Batrura.

The Dragon and Draconic Councils

Seeking a way to keep his emotions in check, Batrura suggested a democratic system where the leaders of the races within the City ofDragonswould determine the best course of action based on the needs of their people.  Within this council, each of the subsets of races had their own council.

Batrura and Aestrasidus were but two members of the Dragon Council.  Each of the colored dragonflights was represented, but it was Batrura who delivered the result to the Draconic Council when a decision was reached.

Batrura’s intellect and good nature became renowned, and it was suggested that he become an ambassador for the city.  Too humble to be separated from the other races, he suggested a human to be the ambassador, finding them to be the most versatile of all the races.  The man that was chosen, a wizard named Odicius, became Batrura’s first human friend since the incident in his youth.  Batrura confided in him all the details of his past, seeking forgiveness, which was fully given.  Odicius admired Batrura’s character, and suggested that the two travel as ambassadors together.

The Dragon Wars

Preceding Events

Several of the survivors of Batrura’s vengeful attack bound together, seeking others who had been marred by dragons.  Over twenty long years, they created a dragon hunter army, which eventually discovered the secret City of Dragons.

The city was infiltrated while Batrura and Odicius were tending to business upon another continent.  The city was razed, many members of many races losing their lives.  Supporters of dragons were considered just as dangerous as the winged creatures.  Among those slain, was Batrura’s love, Aestrasidus.

When Batrura returned, his heart shattered.  His beloved mate, and his beloved city lay in ruin, all that he had done wrought to ash.  Odicius tried to calm the dragon’s emotions, but Batrura had given up.  He found out that humans were to blame, and swore vengeance.  Many dragons and dragonkin were quick to take up the cause.

Allies and Enemies

Odicius refused to aid Batrura in his new, sadistic mission, to wipe humans from the face of the earth.  Because of their friendship, Batrura let him live, but banished him eternally from the City of Dragons.

Each of the dragonflights, with the exception of the white dragonflight, sent members to Batrura’s side.

The Five Magi

Five able heroes were hand picked from all over Draconis to rid the world of the carnage that Batrura was wreaking.  They bested he and the other leaders of the dragon forces, but not before he obtained his final vengeance, killing the very humans that killed his beloved Aestrasidus.

Fate

Circumstances of Death

Batrura was sealed away by the five magi.  One of the five gave his life to make sure the spell reached fruition.  The names of the five magi are never given, to protect those who know the ritual, and the way to reverse it.  He was supposedly sealed in what is now known as the Dragon’s Bane mountain range in western Raleigh.  Ironically, this is the same mountain range he was born in.

Blacklehn

General description

Entymology

Blacklehn is called as such due to a long, narrow stretch of volcanic land that had been at the country’s northern border.  Since the naming of the country, however, that piece of land has become submerged in the ocean.

Geography and Environment

Blacklehn is bordered by mountains from its west, all the way to its southeast side.  Everywhere else, it is bordered by the ocean.  Blacklehn is one of two countries on Draconis that do not share borders with any other country, due to mountain ranges separating them.

Blacklehn is exposed to several climate types.  The mountains at its south border, called the Great Boundary, often see their fair share of snow.  Volcanic ash still litters the beaches and plains in the north.  A small desert region hugs the mountains at its southeast.  A large amount of rivers and forests also speckle the countryside.

Blacklehn’s ecology is more mild than temperate.  Though many kinds of creatures do exist within Blacklehn, during the winter months, some are known to migrate.

Races

Blacklehn is known for being cold to races that are not human.  The sheer numbers of humans who live in Blacklehn, however, make it easier to cast out any of the outsiders who try to settle within the country.

While the other races find it hard to colonize within Blacklehn, smaller groups of people have been known to find isolated happiness within the wilderness of the country.

Minotaurs are the most plentiful of the outer races of Blacklehn.  They had originally shared the country with the humans, but most have been driven out.  Any who remain do not have traditional cities, but live underground.

History

Early History

Blacklehn started as a nomadic country for humans.  The humans originally shared the country with minotaurs, along with small amounts of dwarves and elves.  The four races got along fairly well, the minotaurs, dwarves and elves being the only ones with established cities.

It took the humans of Blacklehn several hundred years to finally bring their people together, under the guidance of a tyrannical warlord named Roark.

Banishment of the Outer Races

Roark knew that humans were the most plentiful race of Blacklehn.  With that in mind, he organized a military to intimidate the other races, with the aim of appropriating financial support from them.  Roark was met with heavy resistance.  He sent his armies to begin genocide of the other races, most of who escaped over the mountains to the south into Raleigh and Cracius.

Any stragglers who were left behind were taken up and sold into slavery, most performing manual labor for the Blacklehnian dictatorship.

The Heart of Stone

Roark never knew the true love of a woman, his desires strictly carnal.  He did take a queen, once, however.  She was believed to be the most beautiful woman of all of Draconis, if not Tellest itself.  But she did not care for him at all, and he was well aware of it.

Roark used her for more than just primal needs.  He used her as a figurehead, sending her on diplomatic missions to coerce aid where none could be found.  Most of her diplomatic endeavors carried her oversea.

It was during one of her missions that she met a philosopher who convinced her to escape the terrible king’s grasp.  The two jumped ship during one of their long journey’s, and found passage on another.

When Roark was told the tale of treachery, he vowed vengeance upon his lost love.  He had two generals, a ranger named Edaria, and a knight named Ailistar track down the traitor queen, and the man who courted her.  They discovered them still sailing about the ocean, never intent on returning to any shore.

Roark was livid.  He decided on a course of action that would be fitting punishment.  The great warlord had access to terrible resources.  One such resource was a grand wizard named Senan, revered as the most prolific sorcerer in the world.  He called on Senan’s powers, the wizard turning a great portion of the ocean to sand, capsizing the vessel that the queen and her lover were on.

The Fallen King

Roark had become bitter, and horrible to his people.  Ever since the loss of his queen, he had not been the same.  He sought to develop his empire further, the idea being to push past theGreatBoundaryMountainsto the south, in an effort to begin capturing Raleigh.

The people of Blacklehn would not be commanded so easily.  Despite the eager military forces that Roark commanded, political favor swayed against his desires.  Blacklehnian citizens bound together, and created militias to fight back against the superbly trained armies of Roark.

While the people were revolting, Senan delivered terrible news to his king.  A prophecy had come to the wizard, one which foretold a great power coming from the desert that he himself had created.  Nearly three years had passed, and the desert had once again been swallowed up by water.  Hesitantly, he told his king, who only grew more anxious upon hearing the news.

Roark began sending his military forces to gather up the militias that defied him.  Those who were not slain were delivered into slavery.  One of Roark’s greatest generals, his knight, Ailistar, mutinied upon seeing the treatment of the other Blacklehnians.

Senan’s prophecy took shape as the man who had stolen away Roark’s queen lead an army to destroy Roark.

Together, the militias of Blacklehn and the man from the desert managed to crush Roark, together with his four generals.

Roark’s Curse

Before Roark died, he had Senan cast a spell over him and his four generals, that they might be raised again when greed drove men hungry for power and treasure.

Hundreds of years later, Roark and his men were awakened, once again driving Blacklehn into darkness.  It took several of Draconis’ greatest heroes to send Roark back to the underworld once more, and the sting of that battle is still felt.

Overtaken

After the Fallen King’s second demise, Blacklehn was in a weakened state.  A huge chunk of the northern part of the country had been submerged by Senan’s magic.  The populous was separated, no longer united.

Galen Fowler, a barbarian from Gandarst, had been defending the western border of Blacklehn, but once Roark fell, he bound his men together, and took Blacklehn as his own country.

Fowler remains the current leader of Blacklehn.
