Grendig

East of Gardi and between Solvi and Khai is a small island with a large pointed mountain on it. Atop this mountain is a Lightning Dragon named Grendig. Hundreds of years prior, Grendig fled the Dragonhold as a pup and found himself atop this mountain. It spent years hibernating and only venturing out for food, usually fish taken from the ocean. The existence of Grendig became somewhat of a myth until in 811AD when Grendig made himself known during the 2nd Khai-Magheimr war.
During the Siege of Khai lightning split the sky and Grendig descended.
His thunder killed Magheimr and Imperial soldiers alike. All fortress and walls of Khai destroyed as well as most of the invading army.
Grendigs existence is confirmed and he is named Grendig the Thunderous Terror.
Grendig is seen 3 more times in history. Following the Siege of Khai, the Emperor is pressured to kill the dragon before it can destoy any more of their cities. Gallio Imperius decides to send his entire Praetorian force to Tordentopp to kill Grendig. They never return.
Grendig appears again in 857AD flying over Anhur putting the city into a state of Chaos. Grendig never descends upon the city.
Grendig appears again in 1003AD when he lands atop the tomb of Fenric Greymane searching for something.
Though it has been some time since Grendig has been seen, he has not passed into myth. Only the bravest sailors risk passing Tordentopp.
