Malthrik Vulshrun

## Player Written Backstory

Malthrick was born in a small remote part of the world that was scorched over by Tiamat herself in the age of The Power Struggle called, Kaligrishum. Growing up he soon realized that he was growing taller and faster than most of the other dragonborn in his homeland. After a couple years of him and a few others began to question their elders why they were growing this way they were all sent for and met with their parents and the elders of the town. They learned that while they were hatching they were scorched over by Tiamats destructive breaths but survived and that the elders believe it had an effect on them. As time went on they noticed that the color of the scales were bolder in color and thicker than the average Dragonborn as well. They also were never able to produce a Dragons Breath whilst being trained to do so. After months of training and practicing the Dragons Breath but failing, Malthik became enraged that he was unable to accomplish the task, thinking to himself that if any should be able to do so it would be the few of them touched by Tiamat herself. In his rage, a burst of lightning shot out of his body creating a dome over an area around him. Those that saw were both concerned and confused while some were also scared for him. After testing this dome of energy over a span of months, they came to realize that all “Elder Born"were able to accomplish this task instead of the Dragons Breath like the average Dragonborn. After the Elder Born matured and learned all of their capabilities with defensiveness they were set as their towns main line of defense against any enemy they were to come to pass.

Years passed where the Elder Born lived peacefully among the other Dragonborn, when all they had to worry about was wildlife attack and the random travelers that were looking to steal from them. After about 40 years of living a normal sort of life, the word got out about the Elder Born and that is when populace from the other races began to hunt them down. Years went on as the other races joined together to hunt down the Elder Born, while the Dragonborn searched for more of their kind to join forces to help protect the Elder Born. After years and years of fighting the time finally came where the Elder Born were told to abandon their town and seek safety in hiding. Malthrik Went to evacuate and seek hiding along with 5 other Elder Born at the time. When they were making thier exit they were met with force. Fighting thier way through only 4 of them made it out alive although 1 got split from the group and was never to be seen again.
As years passed Malthrik and the other 2(Valkrusha(Green Male) & Furthusk(Purple Male)) took shelter in any spot they could that they thought they would not be found in. They took turns going out and gathering supplies and food during the night. This would go on for years until Furthusk came back one night with news of a Dragonborn encampment. The 3 of them argued between themselves for a few days trying to decide if they should show themselves or not. After a long heated debate Malthrik and Valkrusha decided it is best that they show themselves to the Dragonborn village. They decided to go the next day first thing in the morning and when they woke up to leave Furthusk was nowhere to be found. The other 2 were very disappointed in him but figured that he left before he was made to go to the newly found village.

As the 2 of them started heading towards the village they were met by guards as no one recognized them as there were very few Blue, and Green Dragonborn at this time here. Malthrik and Valkrusha tried to talk their way into being let into the town to speak to its leader without giving away that they were Elder Born but they were unsuccessful in doing so. The guards took them into custody and told them that someone would be with them to speak soon. The guards did mention that they are just uneasy with newcomers as they have been raided a few times in the last month. Malthrik and Valkrusha peacefully agreed to this as they did not want to cause any problems as they were the strangers and trespassers here. A couple hours went by before a couple Dragonborn from the militant force came in to talk to them. The 2 Elder born peacefully explained their situation and showed that they were hoping to be among friends. Once they said they were Elder Born the 2 from the militant forces immediately left the room with haste. The 2 of them sat there for about an hour before a gold Dragonborn entered the room. As he did so Malthrik and Valkrusha froze in shock as did the gold Dragonborn. “Drakorin” is that really you? The gold Dragonborn responded that yes it was him. Drakorin was the 1 Elder Born that got split from the ground during the evacuation of the Elder Born years prior. Before releasing them, Drakorin explained to them that the place they had found was the start of the Ya’farian Alliance, and only Dragonborn resided here. After time to catch up Drakorin took the 2 of them to meet the leaders of the Alliance and explained that they were also Elder Born. The 3 of them were known as the Elders of the Alliance and also became the head of defenses from the Alliance. They did also send a search team out to look for Furthusk but he was never found.

As the years went on building the Ya'Farian Alliance everything seemed fine and as years passed Malthirk and the others believed that the knowledge of the Elder Born had died off. Although while defending against an attack from an army of humans they learned this was not the case. The Dragonborn of the Alliance held off the humans for a span of 2 months until a group of assassins made their way into the alliance and into the hall where the leaders and the Elder Born were located. The assassins voiced their goals of taking the Elders alive or dead. Though only a few of the humans made their way in they were able to strike down Valkrusha and one of the other leaders before they were killed. After this encounter Mathrik and Drakorin were forced to leave the alliance and once again go back into hiding. They were told to seek out a Kitsune by the name of Kazumi, and that she may know of a place where the last 2 Elder Born could live in peace for the remainder of their lives. As months went on of traveling from town to city to village and back again they heard rumors of a traveling merchant that fit the description of the woman they were looking for. They made their way to the merchants tent near closing time to avoid contact with as many people as possible. Once they arrived they were able to convince the servants to bring their boss to them so they could speak with her. After a long conversation and the trade of a few older Dragonborn artifacts they were able to receive information on a place named Alora located on Animar and were also given passage by the Kitsune.
When they arrived at this new place they arrived in the back of another one of Kazumi merchant tents and were escorted by her to the portal bureau. There they were spoken with about the rules and regulations of residing in Alora. They spoke with the higher ups about how they were hoping to find some other Dragonborns in town they could speak with about thier past issues as they refused to tell any other race about what they were. After some convincing, the higher ups at the bureau brought in a Dragonborn that he thought could get them to speak. The man introduced himself as Lord Wulcrath. After speaking alone with Wulcrath, he decided to take the Elder Born under his household and had them stay at his residency as new "guards"for a few months until they learned the ways of Alora. After those few months Wulcrath got with Cabian on the Elder Born being 2nd hand to Lord Keehand as the Elder Born were very knowledgeable in military affairs. The Elder Born began their tasks with Keenhand roughly 2 years ago and continue to do so through current events while still residing with Wulcrath. Although Wulcrath has a higher leading role in Alora he does come to the Elder Born at times for advice and shows them a respect that he does not show to many others.
