Education

Mystics, gurus and uncovered scrolls allowed Madarak to learn enough to begin pillaging and gathering rare and dangerous information kept secret by other, weaker factions.

Employment

Madarak demanded tribute in only rare materials and secrets, his guidance and gifts of magic allowing his people to prosper under his rule. He would take only what he needed to further his knowledge, but to hinder him was punishable by public execution by his bare hands.

Accomplishments & Achievements

The Bloody Handed Ruled through fear and authority by sheer mythical strength and brutality, often seen or depicted killing with his bare hands.
Mountain Slayer Launched an assault on a mountain side city, the myth says his armies marched and felled it, the truth being spies hid explosive runes and caused a devastating landslide.
Hoarder of Secrets Believed to have the greatest private library and vault of magical secrets during his age, earning the myth that he was a Red Dragon who hoarded secrets.
Patron of Sorcerers Due to his exposure to magic and natural bloodline, he sired 2 sorcerers and declared himself a patron of sorcery and sorcerers alike. Some may still claim to be direct descendants.
The Crimson Emperor of Brutality Coined by his enemies, or perhaps had a rumour spread of such, it is a title he has nonetheless been referred to by and may be considered to have earned.

His greed and pride were their ultimate downfall. While he wielded great power, he was still mortal. They marched their forces through a hurricane, a flash flood washing him and a considerable number of his soldiers to their death.
