Dragon Rebellion

As she grew older, she witnessed her children and other dragons that came before her being enslaved and mistreated by their masters. Enraged by this, she would plot a rebellion against the dragonkin. At first, she was hesitant, but it was Dragonwilds:Velgar who convinced her and was the first to join her cause. When the rebellion started, Lacrussa was slain, along with Dragonwilds:Brakka, from whom Kuldra stole powers for herself and shared them with Velgar, her most trusted ally,Template:CiteJournal granting him his elemental mastery of earth.Template:CiteJournal Before she could kill Dragonwilds:Rasthin, the dragonkin, activated the Dragonwilds:Harmonic Resonator in hope to destroy Kuldra, only for the Dragon Queen to survive. In a battle that fractured the continent itself,Template:CiteText Kuldra then attacked Lougrim, who was protecting the garou village. Weak and wounded, Kuldra descended on her without mercy and devouring her body and taking her title of High Queen of the Garou. Some accepted out of fear, but others rejected her rule and left to another region. Having freed her fellow dragons, she sent them out across the continent to wipe out other settlements, other than the garou and goblins.

Sometime during these events, Kuldra caught wind of Dragonwilds:Imaru's and Dragonwilds:Xikotal's mercy towards the human settlements in Dragonwilds:Fellhollow, and as a result, she decided to confront the duo herself. As Kuldra descended on the region, nobles within the region would, would arm themselves in Dragonwilds:steel equipment Template:CiteJournal to assist Xikotal and Imaru, in the hope of defending their new home and bring an end to the Dragon Queen. Despite the help and numbers, they failed to bring Kuldra down. With Kuldra's strength and power seemingly unmatched, she would pull Xikotal's heart from his chest and devour it.Template:CiteJournal She would then leave Imaru to grieve, as punishment for disobeying her.Template:CiteJournal Template:CiteJournal However, Imaru would challenge Kuldra a second time, after being infused by a curseTemplate:CiteJournal placed by Dragonwilds:Ravanna.Template:CiteJournal Template:CiteJournal However, this was not enough to even stand a chance against Kuldra, who killed her quite easily.Template:CiteJournal Despite Imaru's action, Kuldra had left the humans of Fellhollow alone, their fate met by the resurrected corpse of Imaru some time later.

With Ashenfall settlement destroyed, minus some of the garou and Dragonwilds:goblins, Kuldra now rules the continent with her dragons.

Sixth Age

During the 14th Year of the Dragonwilds:Sixth Age, while ruling unchallenged, an expedition had made its way to Ashenfall; her generals had attacked the expedition in her name. After the arrival of a group of adventurers, Kuldra would start gathering pieces of the Harmonic Resonator to cause another explosion that would devour the world.

Trivia

Her appearance from the concept art, banner image and the animated trailers shows some resemblance to Template:Wp, the goddess of greed and queen of evil dragons.
- Just like Tiamat, Kuldra is the Dragon Queen, has 5 heads of different types of dragons, has divinity in her and is worshipped.
- Her appearance in the Fellhollow cutscene intro showed her only having two legs. In Template:RSL (RS3), Template:RSL is another dragon known to also have only two legs.
  - However, her more recent appearance in the Umbral Sands cutscene shows she has all four legs.
Within the lore of RuneScape, another dragon is known to exists with the title of Queen; the Template:RSL, being the first dragon ever created, and is the ancestor to all dragons.
- Like the Queen Black Dragon, Kuldra also had children, who were experimented on or enslaved by the dragonkin.
Kuldra is amongst the few known dragons with multiple heads in the RuneScape franchise, with the others being the Template:RSL and Template:RSL.
- There previously was another Template:RSL in RuneScape, but it was removed along with the tutorial it appeared in.
- Template:RSL are three headed dragons from the Template:RSL, which are a shiny breed of dragons.
Just like the King Black Dragon and Verak Lith, Kuldra's central head is that of a black dragon.
According to the recent narrative trailer for the Dragonwilds:Scorned Wilderness, Kuldra was the first dragon created by the dragonkin of Ashenfall. This, however, may be incorrect as lore scraps reveals that there were other dragons before her. Template:Sic
