Brimstone

by YennaK

Brimstone, the Fire Incarnate (also known as Brimstone, the Flame Incarnate) was a Red Dragon trapped in a chamber Mt. Valsuvius on Embershore Isle. After their escape they ruled over Gade Isle for a several months in 1509 before vanishing.

## History

Much of Brimstone's History is from 2nd Hand sources and not from the Dragon themselves.

Cinder the Dragon told her backstory, that as a young dragon she was lured into a chamber (by persons unknown) that became trapped. The chamber was magically sealed to prevent the dragon digging or burning their way out. Brimstone was also discovered in one of these chambers, so a similar backstory could be inferred. Cinder claims this occurred before the Breaking of Arcadia.

Barthas the Wizard research claims that Mt. Valsuvius on Embershore Isle was formed during the Breaking of Arcadia, so Barthas believes that is how Brimstone became trapped. Additionally Cinder also claims that the Shallow Sea around Mt. Valsuvius did not exist prior to the Breaking of Arcadia.

While trapped under Mt. Valsuvius, Brimstone intimidated the local Kobolds & Humans into giving him scarifies, threatening to erupt the volcano if their demands were not met.

In the year 1509, Barthas the Wizard teleported Embershore Isle to be near Gade Isle as part of a plan to swap bodies with Brimstone using a ring of wishes. On 12 July 1509, Maribel's Marauders warned Brimstone of this plan, so they killed Barthas, took the ring for themselves and wished themselves out of their prison.

Upon becoming free, Brimstone flew over to Gade Isle and roosted in the former wyvern's lair at the top of Icecap mountain, and ruled the island though fear.

On 28 October 1509, a Maribel's Marauders trapped Brimstone inside the Orb of Imprisonment. The disappearance of Brimstone has gone unexplained to the general public. (Misscliks: Seaborn: Chapter 4 Episode 13)

A few months later Embershore Isle teleported back to its original position with Brimstone trapped again under the volcano. This was likely caused by Brimstone using their last wish on the wish ring to "return home" to escape the Orb of Imprisonment. (Shenanigans: Episode 202)
