Krux, Shadow Lord

Krux, the Shadow Lord, was born in the heart of a raging storm, his very existence a manifestation of the darkness that shrouds the land. As a hatchling, he possessed a thirst for power that could not be quenched, his scales reflecting the inky blackness of the night sky. Drawn to the arcane arts, Krux delved into the forbidden realms of shadow magic, mastering spells that could manipulate the very fabric of reality. His fellow dragon lords, though powerful in their own right, feared Krux's malicious intent and the sheer force of his magical prowess. Whispers of his cruelty and disregard for life spread throughout the kingdoms, and even the bravest of warriors dared not cross his path. Krux's domain expanded, his wings casting a darkness over the land, and his subjects, both mortal and immortal, trembled at the sight of his approaching shadow. For Krux, the world was his to command, and he would stop at nothing to cement his place as the supreme ruler of all he surveyed.
