Atarka Dragonborn

**Atarka Dragonborn** is a half-orc, half-dragon, and one of the Seekers of Divinity. She is the twin sister of Karrthus Dragonborn, and daughter of Myrrhgabrethaka.

### Early Life

Karrthus and Atarka, are Half orcs born from a long line of orcs that believe they descended from dragons. While most of the Dragonborn Clan was annihilated during the infernal wars in the pale grasses by a demon named Belzonlock, A few survived. Kholagan, the twins Father, and Dromoka, their stepmother, were two of the few. They took shelter in a small village in the Magros Mountains, hoping to stay away from the fighting and trying to hide the twins as they were the first of the Dragonborn to have been "dragontouched". Karrthus was bestowed the power of Claw and Fang and the ability to manifest them at will bringing about great strength. Atarka on the other hand was born with a strange birthmark, one of a dragon ouroboros. She has also been able to contact a powerful dragon spirit, Ugin who comes to protect her from harm. Along with their powers, both have strange, yellow colored eyes, much like that of a dragon and a heavy red tint to their skin.

One day, at the age of 12, the small village was attacked by a band of demons hoping to eliminate the Dragonborn clan for good, as this clan was once a demon hunting clan. The demons were fighting under the banner of one named Belzonlock, the very same demon who annihilated the tribe during the infernal wars. During this raid, the village was destroyed and all inhabitants were killed...except for two. Their powers manifested stronger than before and they were able to take down the lesser demons attacking the town and managed to escape under the cover of night. That was the night that they swore vengeance against Belzonlock and all of demonkind.

The two moved on and found themselves taken in by a small sect of the church of Lucifer in Kurosekai where they worked together to further strengthen their powers and their bonds. It is believed that they are the last remaining members of the Dragonborn line. During their time at this church, they joined the ranks of the demon hunters and began their quest to destroy the demons once and for all.

### Events surrounding the Demonic Invasion of Marenwald

Atarka was sent to Kumota City by the Luciferian Church to investigate the strange rumors of demonic activity up north of Kurosekai. They quickly learned that there had been a demonic disturbance in the Northern Marshes, and rumors were starting to trickle in that there may be more going on in the northern parts of the Whispering Woods. Atarka and her brother Karrthus signed up for a boat that was to begin travelling up the Leaf River into the woods. It was on this boat that the two met Rocco and Forrest Brightmane. The siblings quickly made friends with the duo, partially through Karrthus becoming a drinking buddy for Rocco, and both assisting in stopping a platoon of demons sent by Vile Cruelty to assassinate Forrest.

While in Augsburg and Honigpunkt, Atarka was mostly professional, focused on gaining information for their further journey rather than engaging with the squabbles with Forrests family and the Honey Festival ongoing in Honigpunkt. She helped lead the party through the woods near the Spirit Weaver's laboratory, and on to Marenwald where they saw the demonic invasion in full swing. Atarka fought her way through the madness valiantly, up to and including the final battle against Gespla the Plague General. Her battle prowess in this fight gained her the attention of Vile Cruelty, who excitedly cheered on her fight. In the battle, Ugin was poisoned and incredibly weakened, eventually disintegrating back to his home dimension, leaving Atarka weakened and without the ability to channel his power. She tried in vain to contact him, but to no avail. She eventually decided she would need to try and go to the place she first made contact with Ugin to try and reform that bond.
