Kreath'Ka

Kreath'Ka is a treacherous brutal black dragon who exhibits a particularly resilient acumen and formidable intellectual acuity. This horror of Gielinor resides in the Arrandar Mountains, a frightening expanse of jagged mountains that spire above the Kandar landscape to its West. Once a 'ling of this golden land's greatest warden, he is now a behemoth with legends reckoning his unfortunately devastating return.

Appearance
Kreath'Ka is a dark charcoal black in color, devoid of wounds or battlescars. The dragon's visage is brought to vibrant light with a pair of gleaming fiery-orange eyes, bright as if visitant and glaring what hatred is present. Intense spikes roll in two symmetrical rows down his back, crested by a large thin-scaled membrane rising like a fin between the spines. They close into a single row along the serpentine length of his tail, and at its end, no spade nor spikes are found, but instead more thin-scaled membrane for matters of flight.

The Prophecy
A prophecy, several hundred years old, dictates that a "blight" would rise during the night of a certain man's rule and bring forth ruin onto the lands. It was said that this would occur following a wrongful ruler taking helm of the throne, though it was assumed fear-mongering jargon. This was once told at its beginning by the great King Oliver Cleeves, a man who ruled prior to the Vekon regime and prided himself in being a companion of Kreath'Ka 's blood father, Darastrix Viir Tiichi.

The prophecy is as told..."'Ruler, ruler of the night, unto you comes great blinding blight. Of vast sorrow this will bring forth, but surely there is succor from the noble North. With blue legend, sword and shield, they will sow forth the beast's first yield. And on this day comes the first golden light, the final ending of this time's forever night.'" Considering that of the current time (3 Novtumber, Year 4, Sixth Age) a false ruler is sat upon the throne of Ardougne, it was expected that this prophecy would be told true. Alas, nothing has revealed itself on the mountains and the people are left at peace. But as for whole the prophecy speaks of, it is unknown. The story is only found in various texts in the citadel library of Ardougne on the first floor beside the Sunlit Hall and is now thought an old wives tale.
