Wielgtorisk Drachenfel

"Quick, run - Cower ye all! No sun, Your city will fall!
Cursed one, Locked behind doors - Descend, ye bold ones, to deepest floors

And those cowards, They speak
Of blue wings in the sky - Of eyes as stars so bleak!
They fear, The day the Sky do fall
The death of the heavenly sphere!"

Personal history

Wielgtorisk Drachenfel was born in the prominent Drachenfel nobility of Dol Dura, the dragon city. He however always lived knowing the Drachenfel elders refused to go along with other dragons of the Godsland, who always carried a vengeful load in their hearts for the Dragon War. Wielgtorisk himself always saw this as weakness... he saw it as dishonoring their kind.

As their city fell to disaster, the dragon community was torn. One side wished to remain in place, to brave the storms and destructions. The other group vouched for an Exodus. It was Wielgtorisk Drachenfel, one of the eldest of the House, who lead the group that wished to remain. Mostly consisting of chromatic elemental dragons, they felt too proud to leave their ancestral home behind. Others followed Ibahalii, the eldest metallic dragon of house Drachenfel and ancestor of Svantixen. Most of the Keepers stood by his side as well, but the military force supported Wielgtorisk. In the end, when the city was ablaze and Exodus seemed inevitable, Wielgtorisk ordered the military to keep all citizens in the city. When Ibahalii sought to combat Wielgtorisk and seize control of the military again, he saw the blue dragon as he truly was. He had fallen down a path darker than he could ever have imagined - a path of deep evil. Wielgtorisk had become a powerful dracolich.
Still, Ibahalii sought to rescue his people. While the Keepers stayed with the citizens, Ibahalii challenged the dracolich. The proud dragon accepted, and stated that their duel must be done within the most sacred of places in Dol Dura - the deep floors of Stair Tower. Ibahalii fought with all his might. Silver clashed against blue as above ground, the people cried out for help. Fuelled by the weight on his shoulders and his superior age to Wielgtorisk, Ibahalii eventually managed to fight the dracolich into the Room of the Ancients. This hall was their most ancient tomb, and it had a very powerful spell on its doors known as the Doors of Sky. It can only be opened and sealed with the blood of a pure-hearted dragon. A dragon devoted to Dol Dura. And so, during battle, Ibahalii let the last of his life-blood seep into the magical caving on the ground. The doors opened. Wielgtorisk - for a split second hit with surprise - did not see a sudden burst of power coming. Ibahalii used all of his power to push the dracolich into the tomb, and then sealed the magical doors behind him.

Mental Trauma

Wielgtorisk has been locked behind the Doors of Sky since 332 AB, and has thus suffered mental trauma of isolation leading him into madness.
One moment, he can be as madly furious as the storm itself. He then speaks about vengeance upon mankind, the hunger for power and how man cares naught for dragonkind. The other, he grows relatively calm. In these moments, he often talks to seemingly invisible entities, which he refers to as Suturi and Arutu, and how he wishes to see them again.
