Slaying of the Dragon Turtle, Balkosvikar

Military action

A dragon turtle seeks to disrupt Arakeenian trade in the Sea of Shards

Throughout the year 82, several Arakeenian ships were lost in the northern Sea of Shards. Thinking that it was forces from Northreach seeking to expand their own raiding, Sovereign Aravok chose to lead a small fleet himself with several of his powerful vassals to solve the problem.
  While they were at sea it was discovered that the ships were being destroyed by the Dragon Turtle Balkosvikor, and ancient example of that draconic species. The Sovereign led his vassals against the Dragon Turtle and when it tried to escape the warriors used magic to follow the creature into its lair.
  Deep within the undersea cavern, the forces of Arakeen faced off against the ancient Dragon Turtle. After a long and bloody battle Sovereign Aravok slew the creature with a mighty blow from his enchanted blade. The group returned to Draknos with the creature’s shell where it was turned into enchanted shields that became the symbol of the Sovereign’s elite guard.
