[u]Lore: The Legend of the Twelve Guardians[/u]

During humanity's darkest hour, when the Imperial starfleet was destroyed, all defense towers rendered inoperable, and all human life on the planet driven close to extinction, there rose from the earth twelve mighty life forms, called Guardians. They all spawned with a single mission: to protect human life from its enemies. Together, they pushed back the billions of Voidspawn and either destroyed them or forced a retreat through the portal. Most of the twelve perished in the battle; thus far, only the fire dragon Caradras, the Kraken, and the Wyrm are confirmed alive. The Wyrm is believed to have been taken by insanity a few centuries past, and the Kraken restricts his activities to pirate-hunting and making mischief.

Only Caradras has shown any real interest in human affairs. It is Imperial tradition that new Heroes bearing the Mark be initiated with a pilgrimage to the western volcano, where Caradras makes his abode. The dwarves in the region have made a pretty penny off the arrangement. In recent years, the dragon has been cutting himself off from outside contact.

He was last seen attacking Midhaven. He could not be reached for comment at this time.
