History

Creation

Kuldra was amongst the first dragons created by the dragonkin Dragonwilds:Lacrussa and Dragonwilds:Avisk. When Lacrussa was working on making a better race of dragons, Avisk would force himself into her experiments and suggesting to fuse certain dragons for a better results.Template:CiteJournal He would mess with some of the brood, adding Dragonwilds:rune essence into the them.Template:CiteJournal Despite Lacrussa's warning in trying to maintain a single headed dragons, Avisk ignored her, which led to several of these brood to die, all but one.Template:CiteJournalTemplate:CiteJournal Kuldra was born showing no signs of madness for having multiple minds. Instead she found that it would work as one, unified in a way.Template:CiteJournal Lacrussa learns that the dragon was able to spread the rage across herself, weakening the effect, causing her to express other emotion and behaviours, such as curiosity, reason and even wit.Template:CiteJournal This would make Lacrussa want to study her further, keeping her chained. During the study, they would get her off springs and conduct several experiments on them, exterminating the failures.Template:CiteVideo Kuldra would witness this, and slowly plot her vengeance.

Dragon Rebellion

After the Dragonwilds:Human-Garou War, the goddess Dragonwilds:Lougrim donated her blood to the dragonkin for their assistance against the human and bandosiansTemplate:CiteJournalTemplate:CiteJournal. Lacrussa would use this on Kuldra. After gaining Lougrim's blood, she would plot a rebellion against the dragonkin after seeing the continued abuse, despite their assistance in the war. 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 arm themselves in Dragonwilds:steel equipmentTemplate: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:CiteJournalTemplate:CiteJournal However, Imaru would challenge Kuldra a second time, after being infused by a curseTemplate:CiteJournal placed by Dragonwilds:Ravanna.Template:CiteJournalTemplate: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. Before she could put her plan into motion and put an end to the world, the adventurer(s) made their way into her sanctum and, through a grueling barrage of her hatchlings trying to protect her from the intruders, was unable to survive after they destroyed her heart.
