Drafalgaar

The true drake Drafalgaar, which means General of Dragons in the tongue of Atreus, was one of the final champions of lost Dralis. While his contemporaries lamented the curse that was poisoning their mighty race and sought means to end the affliction, Drafalgaar who was no wise mage or alchemist, but rather a great warrior and bringer of destruction swore to bring war and devastation against the dragonslayers who now sought to hunt and slay his kin by turning the dragons' curse into a weapon. So it was that Drafalgaar produced a horde of wurmlings uncountable, each feral and mindless yet with a power befitting their parentage. Like Drafalgaar they had breath of flame and noxious fumes which they used to devastate the lands and render all they encountered to ash. Their stature once grown, while lesser than their creator, was still vast and powerful, standing a lofty 120 meters at the shoulder with a wingspan nearly three times that and a powerful tail extending well behind serving as both rudder and weapon. These monstrous creatures were engines of pure destruction, laying waste to the countryside in all directions and ending untold lives. While dragonslayers rose to the challenge, facing off against the spawn of Drafalgaar and bringing many to their demise, Drafalgaar cared nothing for the progeny and continued to bring forth wave after wave of expendable offspring. It wasn't until a group of hunters finally discovered the site where the horde was hatching and growing that the terror would be ended, with Drafalgaar meeting his ultimate fate at the hands of dragonslayers inspired to action by his own war against their like. Despite this, the spawn of Drafalgaar were so numerous and their power so terrible that many were able to escape into the wilds of the heart ranges. Scholars theorize that these escaped drakes eventually began the lines of some of the most dangerous dragons alive today, including the Raivanni Fire Drakes which still retain a measure of the incendiary breath of their genocidal ancestor.
