Kaelos
Race: Wukong Drake: Nelthos Weapon: Resalia and Irzelia, the Rapiers of Kaelos (Legionary Treasure) Kaelos, Death Winner, is the founding Legrarch of the Karnost Legion, one of the five legendary Otesis Legions. Among the Successors, the Drakynium’s greatest enemies, their main focus is the Unholy Alliance. History Origin All Horblaria, the region ruled by Golenat, knew the legendary couple Kaelos and Karnost, his wife. In a land so consumed by cruelty, malice, corruption and depravity, a couple of bandits like them were seen as heroes by the very few good people who lived there. They dueled as one, they seemed like two halves of a single being who fought for something decent in a world of indecency. Karnost was the most well-regarded of the pair, being very charitable, caring and concerned with the people she helped, always giving them large portions of her treasures. Kaelos helped, but never made a point of showing affection; for him, pleasing those he helped didn’t matter. However, what affection he didn’t show to others, he had in abundance for his wife, who seemed to be the only person in the world who could make him less serious. The time came when Karnost became pregnant. This did not interfere with her performance in the couple’s attacks, but as the weight of carrying another being began to weaken her, the couple, who were famous and known for being incredible duelists and fast ambushers, began to only be able to flee, and with difficulty. In the final stages of the pregnancy and the most critical, Karnost could no longer continue fleeing, being captured by the enemy and taken away, while Kaelos fought to reach her. A child born of pure and true love in the lands of Golenat was something very rare, their son would be taken to the ruler of that land.On the day of the birth, Kaelos managed to find out where his wife was being held. He turned into a monster that night, killing everything he found on his way to the room in the mansion where his wife was. He found her dead, with her womb open, and some doctors, one of them holding his son. Kaelos eliminated them in the blink of an eye, and then held his son Kailan in his arms while regretfully checking if there was any way to still save Karnost. That was when one of the two tanels, leaders second only to Golenat, Sadomos, arrived in the room and intended to take the child. Kaelos promptly fled while setting the mansion on fire. Alone with his newborn son, he sought refuge in the homes of those he and his wife had helped in the past. Those who did not sell them out of greed did so out of fear or paranoia. He ended up on the streets, doing everything he could to survive, and above all, to keep his son Kailan alive. Luckily, Kaelos was not the type to be defeated by mere hardships. He not only survived, but managed to recruit followers until he formed his own warband, and all this while raising his beloved son. When invited by Otes to found one of the five legendary Otesis Legions, Kaelos suggested that only men be part of the legions, as the time, resources and value placed on each legionnaire was too great for him to be lost due to something like pregnancy. In the words of Kaelos: “An Otesis knight will only stop fighting when he is dead or when he is no longer capable of killing.” His request was eventually accepted and applied to all legions.
Alos
Race: Kyuubi Drake: Alygon Weapon: Locrio, the Trident of Alos (Legionary Treasure) Alos of the 6 Tails, Chain Breaker, Protector of Ninlary, is the founding Legrarch of the Arnem Legion, one of the five legendary Otesis Legions. Among the Successors, the Drakynium’s greatest enemies, their main focus is the Dranate and the Unholy Alliance. History Origin From an early age, Alos was raised by his uncle, Evolis, who was responsible for revealing the location of Mared, a refuge for the Helaw people in the lands ruled by Maliris. Evolis himself being a Helaw, he betrayed his people in exchange for becoming an Elevated One of the profane god Eiban. Those who resisted were massacred, with the exception of their leader Arnem. Those who survived were enslaved by the mind control of the mysti of the Order, of which Evolis was now master. After ruining Mared and contributing to the misery of his people, Evolis took only one small baby, his nephew Alos. Thus, under the tutelage of his uncle, Alos grew up surrounded by evil and tyranny. Yet, he managed to remain good, something that his uncle seemed not to mind. Upon reaching adulthood, after a life of study and training in the arts of combat and sorcery, Alos was ready for a ritual assisted by his uncle. The details or function were not revealed to him, as Alos’ participation would be simple: he would kill a slave. This was Arnem, the heleia who defended her people when they were betrayed by Evolis. She was a kyuubi, but she only had 6 of her 9 tails; 3 of which had been torn off and placed together on the altar around her. Evolis and the Lord of Chains Ikrian were present at the ritual. Alos was given a dagger with which he would kill the bound and gagged slave. Even though he had spent his entire life in an environment that supported villainy, Alos had never even killed anyone. Even so, he was led by his uncle. Arnem, the slave who would be sacrificed, struggled as she tried to say something with her mouth gagged; she did not seem afraid of what was going to happen, but rather unable to say what she wanted before she died. Hesitantly and without looking, Alos stabbed her, feeling no pleasure or even a desire to receive approval. It was at that moment that a portal opened in the hall, a gigantic cyan portal. Evolis and Ikrian threw their Chains of Order into the portal, which forcibly held and pulled something. A huge, energetic hand came out of the portal, which grabbed Alos and began to squeeze him. This was the hand of Helavis, the spirit worshipped by the Helavian people and their protector. Seeing that he would be squeezed to death, Alos cried out for his uncle, only to hear back that he could already die, as he had already fulfilled his purpose. The truth is that Golenat, the one whom Evolis serves, has a taste for subjugating good entities and forcing them to serve him in some way, and Helavis would be a great addition. However, reaching the Spiritual Plane, where he resides, would not be enough; they would have to go directly to the spirit itself. Helavis has a connection with all of his followers, the helaws, so a tragedy involving them even slightly would attract his attention, and nothing is more tragic for a benevolent spirit than a malevolent act. A matricide was the tragedy chosen by Evolis to reach Helavis, and it would still have to be an involuntary matricide. 3 is the number of Helavis, so they ripped 3 tails from Arnem, the sacrificed helaw, to increase the chances of connecting with the spirit. But the death of one of his followers was far from being enough to reach him; she would need to die at the hands of another helaw; however, Evolis had already lost the grace of the spirit when he betrayed his people. For this reason, he kept a genuine helaw nearby. The death could not be forced by mind control; it would have to occur naturally at the hands of a good and benevolent helaw, which Evolis was no longer. At his uncle’s insistence, Alos committed the matricide. Arnem, the sacrificed one, was his mother and Evolis’ sister, who had been deprived of her son’s presence since she was enslaved. A real Helaw killing his own mother was the necessary tragedy that involved Helavis enough for them to reach him. The spirit grabbed Alos in order to kill him because of his crime against his mother, since Evolis no longer cared about his nephew, since he had already committed the murder that attracted Helavis, all he wanted at that moment was to subdue the spirit. Still not understanding his uncle’s betrayal, Alos cried for the life he had just taken, even without knowing his connection to her. The tears fell on Helavis’ clenched fist, and from those drops of disgust, he knew who that boy was. Helavis has an intimate and deep connection with all Helaws, which allowed him to know, at least, the facts of their lives that they did not care to reveal. In a lapse of information, the spirit revealed everything in Alos’ mind. Who his mother was, and that he had just killed her, as well as the evil nature of his uncle. Helavis then opened her hand, releasing her devoted boy. Alos, now desperate for what he had done, but furious with those who had made him do it, tore off three of his tails and offered them as tribute to Helavis. 3 was his number, and despite being limited by the chains, he managed to use the offering to break the shackles that held him. With his freedom, the portal began to close, and Helavis took advantage of his last seconds in contact with the Mortal Plane to release a burst of furious destruction from which only the true
Harvam
Race: Human Drake: Dorzos Weapon: Peglia and Tyros, the Sword and Shield of Harvam (Legionary Treasure) Harvam of a Thousand Wounds, The Guardian of Gates, is the founding Legrarch of the Dolav Legion, one of the five legendary Otesis Legions. Among the Successors, the Drakynium’s greatest enemies, their main focus is the Kenastrins. History Origin Harvam’s efforts to follow in his father Dolav’s footsteps seemed to be rewarded, as when he grew up it was almost impossible to tell one from the other, whether in appearance, personality or vocation.Harvam was extremely proud to be the son of the leader of the Kamalar, the king’s golden royal guard. Just as his father was proud of his son for his honor, sense of duty and for having followed in his father’s footsteps, joining him among the Kamalar.It was a surprise to everyone when King Jamast disbanded the guard shortly after news arrived of the dragon Gralgor’s death. When releasing his guards, the king told them to fight for what they thought was right, they swore to fight for the ruler, but that would no longer be something right to fight for. A few days later the king was killed, and it was an even greater surprise to learn that it was his son, Kenast, who killed him, and who had taken responsibility for his own father’s death to the entire kingdom in broad daylight. For, he said that his reign would not be based on lies. Donning his golden armor, Dolav took his shield and sword, which shone like valuable golden treasures, and challenged the now self-proclaimed Sole Pharaoh Kenast to a duel on the main street of the capital during the busiest and most crowded time. Completely devoid of dishonor and cowardice, Kenast accepted the challenge, because Dolav had served and protected his father for years with dedication and loyalty, this call to combat was a right that Kenast believed he had. The pharaoh dueled and killed Dolav in a fight as clear as the sky above them on that clear and hot day. Harvam saw it all, saw his father die at the hands of Kenast. He took the deceased’s sword and shield and roared as he challenged the Pharaoh, who refused, because, unlike Dolav, Harvam did not have the same determination as his father. Kenast refused because he knew in Harvam’s voice that he himself did not want that duel to happen. However, if he still wished to die, Kenast would grant him the honor of a quick death. The courage left Havam’s body at that moment, Kenast defeated him, and he didn’t even need a fight to do it. If his father couldn’t do it, how could he? Seeing that there would be no fight, Kenast turned around, but spoke to Harvam, who was holding his father’s body in his arms, before leaving. “Your father was an honorable man. Never tarnish that. Be proud now and until the end of your days of the man who held you and who you hold now. Take him. Give him a proper burial.” – Kenast, The One Pharaoh. Harvam mourned at Dolav’s grave, and also apologized for not having had the courage to face the man who killed his father. But he promised that no matter how many battles it took for him to find the strength and courage to challenge Kenast, he would fight with everything he had in each one. No matter how strong the enemy, no matter how threatening and desperate the moment, Harvam vowed not to weaken anymore, he vowed not to stop fighting, never giving up a fight until the life left his body or that of his opponent. He spent the next few years fighting in the numerous revolts against Kenast that began due to the death of King Jamast and Dolav, until only his large warband remained among all those who tried to overthrow the pharaoh. He remembered the orders of the old king: to fight for what they believed was right. Even if this order was given to the Kamalar, of which his father was the leader, and he followed in his father’s footsteps, then he would also follow the orders given to him. A sense of duty along with the fame that Harvam heard about the man who killed the dragon, fame that made him very happy, made him swear loyalty and fight for Otes, the one he believed was capable of destroying Kenast.
Dayon
Race: Merfolk Drake: Sesaryon Weapon: Strapor, The Hammer of Dayon (Legionary Treasure) Dayon, The Giant Slayer, The Orbrean’s Last Chief, is the founding Legrarch of the Astov Legion, one of the five legendary Otesis Legions. Among the Successors, the Drakynium’s greatest enemies, their main focus is the Volgans. History Origin Dayon was a member of the great and venerable Orbrean tribe, one of the many tribes of the northern lands. He was not only a member, but also the younger brother of the tribe’s chief, Astov. When the Successor Voligar was on his campaign to conquer the entire Joturn region, the Orbrean were one of the many tribes they sought to subjugate and bring under their rule. However, the Orbreans proved to have an unyielding perseverance, which was irritating to Voligar. In anger, he decided not to assimilate the tribe, but to annihilate it completely. In a colossal attack, composed mainly of the giants of Voligar’s own tribe, the Jortar tribe, in a single night of cold, shadow and fire, the Orbrean tribe was annihilated by the tyranny they had so long resisted. Dayon managed to escape at the request of his older brother along with several other survivors, yet the number of people was now too small to call them a tribe, the Orbreans truly no longer existed. Astov, the eldest brother and chief, was killed in the attack, and he and his hammer Brelior were taken by Voligar as prizes. The tyrant tied Astov’s hands to the hammer and hung his corpse in his throne room, yet another in a long line of hanging corpses. Due to the extremely low temperature of the region, the corpses never became a problem or a nuisance, nothing more than a beautiful decoration. Dayon did his best to keep his people alive, while now fighting in the region dominated by Voligar, called Jortar. Although he did not represent a great threat at first, his name became legendary as one of the great opponents of Voligar. His fame came from his incredible proficiency in killing giants, especially the Jortars of Voligar’s tribe. Dayon fights to free his land from the tyranny of the giant who decimated his tribe, and dreams of one day killing that giant with Brelior, his brother’s hammer, as a way of paying him a final honorable tribute.
Ramos
Race: Loberian Drake: Extragor Weapon: The Spear Waberia (Legionary Treasure) Ramos, also known as Ramos Firebane, is the founding Legrarch of the Brasali Legion, one of the five legendary Otesis Legions. Among the Successors, the Drakynium’s greatest enemies, their main focus is the Sindarklai and the Dranate. History Origin Ramos was a slave of the dranis, the descendants of Maliris, more precisely of the Coilav family. By decree of the dragon Gralgor, the Dranate, as neighbors of the newly established Sindarklai, were to maintain relations of mutual benefit. Something they found compatible with both cultures was the slave trade. The Dwarves of Calamity bought Ramos because he was a loberian, a race known for its extreme physical capacity, so that he could be a training instructor for the Sindarklai, and this separated him from his son who remained with the Drani. The instructor would always be a loberian, so Ramos had to obtain the position by killing the previous one, and after that, new loberians were brought in year after year to prove that Ramos deserved to keep the position. Both Ramos and his enemies, the candidates to replace him, wore full armor, from the top of their heads to the feet. One year, another batch of loberian candidates arrived. Another year, Ramos proved his strength by defeating them. Nearing the end of the candidates, the Dranis brought one who had gone completely mad. With his entire body covered in armor, that Loberian screamed madly, fighting with extreme violence and ferocity, like a true enraged beast. It was difficult, but Ramos managed to defeat him. Despite the fatal blow, his opponent still had a few seconds to live. And it was in those seconds that his mind calmed down, and he managed to call him.“Father.”Ramos went to the weak and almost dead body. He removed the helmet, revealing his son. He had gone mad due to the power of the Chaos of the Coilav, which made it a fight that generated more entertainment and profit for the Dranis. After his life was condemned, he managed to talk to his father after years. And then, by and at the hands of his father, Brasali died.Ramos, at that moment, went crazy. Maddened by what he had done, he grabbed his spear and jumped out of the arena straight to attack everyone who watched and had fun. It was a small and normal event, without much protection or security. Far from what was needed to stop Ramos in that state. The Dwarves of Calamity, experts in the power of fire, were completely overwhelmed by Ramos’s fury, especially when he awakened his only and famous ability: the ability to absorb fire completely. Within minutes, the loberian was the only one alive in the area, covered in blood and moonlight. He gave one last howl as he hugged the corpse of his son. After that, he recovered, and held an honorable and intimate funeral for his son. He said goodbye sadly and regretfully as he left to fight against those who made him kill his own blood, as well as against anyone who was similar to them. Ramos founded one of the largest and most famous warbands in the world, dedicated to fighting the tyranny that had taken over the continent.
