In the mists of ancient history, before the settlements of Coia emerged, a formidable and enigmatic dragon known as Zarithar the Crimson Shadow took to the skies. Little is known about his true origin; whispers suggest that he may have even existed long before the lands were even named. Fabled for leaving destruction in his wake, the intentions of this scarlet dragon are as obscured as the clouds that cloaked his presence. Majestically, he resides in the Emerald Sanctuary Dragon Lair, a hidden realm that speaks of both beauty and peril.
Zarithar's world turned dark following the siege led by Meklan Armash and the Seastone Resistance, a conflict that nearly annihilated the revered Dragons of Iron Mountain. This harrowing experience left a profound mark on Zarithar, igniting within him a deep-seated grudge against these factions. Witnessing the fall of his kin instilled a fiery desire for retribution and a fierce resolve to see dragons once again bask in their former glory. A brooding shadow in a world unkind to dragons, Zarithar began to plot a grand scheme, intricately weaving his designs to reinstate the dragons’ rightful place.
As time rolled on, the name Zarithar became synonymous with a whispered prophecy: The Shattering. This event, foreseen by ancient seers, is heralded as the pivotal point where dragons will reclaim their dominion over the realm. The lines between friend and foe blur as Zarithar maneuvers through the shadows, gathering allies and laying the foundations of his ambitious return to power. He is not just a dragon of vengeance but the catalyst for an era where dragons soar freely through the skies once again.
While Zarithar the Crimson Shadow may be cloaked in deceit and the allure of chaos, those who dare to discover the truth beneath the myth will realize that he is a complex being, shrouded in a tragic past yet fueled by the hope of a dragon renaissance. With each passing day, the tension in the air thickens, and the landscape of destiny shifts—a prelude to the dramatic moment when Zarithar’s revenge is unleashed, igniting the flames of The Shattering. His legacy is not merely about vengeance but the awakening of an age where dragons rise once more, mightier than ever envisioned.
