Lore
I. Before the first war between drakes and men, those who conspired with Echidna urged her to seek Ukshmi once more. For they'd gazed in awe as she endured wounds that would have spelled the doom of any other wyrm, and they yearned to share in the miracle which had made it so. Who among their draconic enemies or the lesser races' legions would ever vanquish them when their hides healed as hers did? If Echidna could persuad Ukshmi to bestow her favor a second time, surely West Kruna would be theirs. |
II. Echidna made the long journey to Bhanipur, flying through the same skies which had borne her in her youth. She traveled that exotic land in search of the many-armed goddes or fiend who'd once enchanted her with music and asked a strange question. The dragon visited great temples, where worshippers carved statues and sang hymns in Uksmi's name. But they could offer no aid. They said only that their deity was fickle in such things, and appeared when and where she pleased |
III. The dragon turned to her own kind. She visited the wyrms who dwelled in Bhanipur, and asked what they knew of Uksmi. Echidna spoke of the grand designs harbored in the breasts of West Kruna's drakes, how they yearned to rule over the lesser races as their magnificent kind should. This was folly, had she but known it. The drakes of Bhanipur were not such creatures as Erebus or Nalagarst, Echidna or Nabarazes. They held to ancient philosophies, believed themselves gurus to the younger beings with whom they shared the world the gods had crafted. |
IV. The dragons abhorred Echidna for her wickedness, the blasphemies that flew from her scaly maw. What could be more terrible than a realm ruled by savage wyrms, where the minds and souls of human and felpuur, elf and gnome, were crushed beneath the worship of false gods? Thus they tried to guide her. The Bhanipuri drakes told Echidna of the great philosophers whose words and deeds they followed. They urged her to become the savior of West Kruna, and draw them from the path of malevolence. But she met their fine words with scorn. |
V. Violence was far from their natures, a thing they had cast aside long ago. Yet when no entreaties softened Echidna's heart, death shone in their eyes. To destroy one of their kind would bring them pain. For had the gods not made such long-lived beings to bear wise teachings through the ages? But they couldn't allow her evil to endure. Thus they ripped and tore, belched lightning and flame. Though for all their might, all their strength and sorcery, nothing was equal to Ukshmi's blessing. Echidna's scales mended before their sight. She cursed them and tore their leader's throat before she took to the skies and fled from Bhanipur. |
VI. Ancient chronicles praised the Bhanipuri drakes, who had fought and driven Echidna from that land. Their fallen leader was named a saint by those who shared his faith -- for he had laid down his life to save the people of far-off West Kruna. Echidna's malevolent kin were left to fight their battles and suffer their wounds. Many were brought low, slain by those they'd sought to rule. And though she survived Lyria's shafts and Terracles' club, Callissa's spear and Slydd's blade, even Echidna couldn't struggle against fate. Her kind were defeated, driven into the depths of the world. |
VII. Echidna was the first of the drakes to awaken from slumber, and the passing centuries hadn't softened her resolve. She still longed to reign over the lesser races. And she knew that with the sharing of Ukshmi's blessing, it would be so. Thus she made her final journey to Bhanipur, and scoured that land for the lady of many arms. The music of sitars, which had once so delighted her, thrilled her soul with the memories of youth. She landed by a glistening river, where the goddess or demon played her beautiful song. But fortune was the drake's ally no further.
"I know why you've come, dragon of the west," Ukshmi said. "But my gift has been given, and fate has been sent. Return to your land. Your war and your destiny await you." Then she was gone, and echo of her sitars danced in the air. |
"Here, <playername>," Bosso Twinklefingers says. "it's my latest toy. What do you think?"
"It's a bit... bigger... than the ones you usually sell," you say. "Children are greedy little things, and every one of them wantes to have the biggest toy so they can show off to their friends. Well, I made this thing big enough to ride! Except one of the little terrors rode it straight at the other brats. There was a bit of goring and trampling..." "Bosso, has anyone ever told you're a danger to every man, woman, and child in West Kruna?" "Not since this morning." |
