Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Dacius picked up a stone slab with a question mark on his face and looked at it.

It was already the tenth day after the incident ended, and Duluqi's team was divided into two waves. Dacius took some wounded to recuperate in Konkuta, and was looking for something that could be used, commonly known as: archaeology.

Maranur took a part of the Druchi, Obion natives and a huge army of lizardmen to encircle and suppress the remaining orcs and Chaos around Conquata.

After taking a look, Darkus handed the slate to Ren next to him. Because he was not sure what he saw, he asked Ren to help him palm his eyes.

The lizard man on the slate spoke very little, and the entire slate was covered with a painting, which seemed to be a wild dragon?

This is a long story, let's make a long story short and talk about it another day...

As we all know, there are dragons in the world where Dacius lives. As the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, there will be dragons..., if the pond is not deep, there will be turtles.

Dragons are one of the oldest and noblest creatures in the world. Their appearance even predates the rise of Chaos. Their history can be traced back to the arrival of the aliens of the Old Ones, and they have been in the world long before the hot-blooded creatures ruled the world. Soaring in the heat rising from ancient volcanoes, wandering in the skies of cold worlds.

Some legends of the elves show that the dragon was once the servant of the mysterious Old One, others that the Old One was the dragon's enemy and caused the dragon's downfall.But these legends are not, some are left and right, but they are not right.

The unknown ancient dragon named "Roaring Storm" once said.

"I was there to assist the Old Ones when they first forged their gates from the matter of the stars. Through the ages I have seen the civilizations of your lesser races rise and fall. In my days, I Destroyed knights and cities, burned fields, and routed armies. I could tell you many things about this world, many things you have forgotten, and many more you never knew, but I think not. You and All of you serve no other purpose than to provide me with entertainment and occasional jewels to please the eye in my lair, and I see little else worthwhile in you."

Legend has it that two, maybe three dragons were called the "Father of Dragons."

The first is "Black" Calgaranos, who is said to be the ancestor of the entire dragon family.This black is not just black, but... colorful black.Its descendants are said to possess every color under the sun, so the hue of a dragon's scales is not just a pigment but a sign of the dragon's nature.

Calgalanos is said to be the largest dragon in the world, with a body bigger than a battleship and a head bigger than a house.It is said that it is now sleeping underground, with the mountains as its backbone, waiting for the day when all the dragons will wake up from their deep sleep and soar above the clouds again.

The second is Umms Caladrac, but it is also said that dwarf legends tell of it being an enemy of the dwarves in ancient times, and that the ancestor of the dwarves, Grimnir, the god of war, fought and killed it in the imperial calendar -4650. Is it, perhaps, Umms Kaldrak in the Khazarid of the dwarves Calgalanos?Who knows?This is something to ask the experiencer.

The third was Dragunir, who in Elvish lore was equally welcome at the court of Asuryan, for his power and nobility were awed by both Elves and gods.

But not all elven gods are so enamored with it. Kane's sister Anes Lema, the goddess of wild hunting.She believed that Dragunir was nothing more than an upstart beast who should be harassed and hunted like other beasts.She then took up her spear and hunted Dragunir in the sky.

The ensuing contest shocked the whole world, and even Asuryan woke up from his meditation.The Creator ordered the fighting to stop, but it was too late to save Dragunir, whose wounds would not heal.

With just one word, Asuryan banished Anes Lema to the world of Hades forever. He worked hard to create a new land from the corpses of his dead friends, where elves and dragons could live in peace without the gods. of jealousy.He created the mountains of Ulthuan from the bones of Dragunir, and the vast plains from the flesh of Dragunir.

The shining scales of Dragunir were given to Isha by Asuryan for safekeeping. In turn, he passed these scales to his mortal children. The elves used the scales to create many mythical works, among which Above all was a mighty battle standard, woven of Ythilama silver and hung with gems of every shape and color.

Adorned with the symbols of mighty Ulthuan, this magnificent World Dragon War Banner is a reminder not only of the bond between elves and dragons, but of the two races' ties to their ancestral homeland.It is said that the Horn of the Dragon was forged from the fire exhaled by Dragunil. It is said that the sword of Kane made by Val himself was also forged from the fire exhaled by Dragunir, and he rarely asked about the elves and their lives. The Forest Dragon believed that Loic's skills were taught by Dragunil.

This may just be legend, though, and since dragons existed in the world long before the Old Ones, it seems unlikely that any of the three were the true original founders of the race.

In the Old World, dragons are mythical creatures, and there are legends and folktales about dragons everywhere.According to legend, scorching flames can be ejected from the dragon's mouth, and the dragon's claws are so sharp that they can cut stones.In folklore, dragons are cruel and whimsical tyrants, described as malevolent, fire-breathing monsters with a penchant for slaughtering people and destroying cities.

For example, there was a red dragon in the Empire Rickland in the old world. Calledell, who has the title of "Scythe of Fire", was still hunting in the fields in the existing memory of dwarves and elves before the rise of human beings. Record.The legends about it are almost endless, most of them terrifying, and the dwarves have a whole tome of hatred against it, the most outrageous entry detailing how it acquired star iron to anoint its own claws.

Star iron is also "meteor iron" in Kazali German. It is a rare metal that can only be processed by dwarf blacksmiths.They will forge it into weapons or strong armor.And the mining of these ores can only use the same strong meteorite pickaxes, because even the strongest steel pickaxes or drills are helpless when encountering meteorites.

Carrdale, which occasionally descends over the fields at harvest time, is attracted by an unheard-of smell.This move undoubtedly horrified the poor peasants, who landed in the fields and demanded immediate gratification of their curiosity.It smelled of the famous Stimigan apples, and after receiving several barrels, it showed visible delight. After enjoying the tribute, it promised the farmers that only two large barrels of Stimigan were presented each harvest. Meagan apples, it won't burn the fields.

In the days that followed, Carledale had not been seen for a century, but even so, to this day there are still two large barrels of fresh apples kept in a nearby clearing and rotated throughout the harvest season to ensure freshness. , lest it find that the tribute is missing when it returns, and each barrel of apples has a "dragon approved" mark.

However, in Ulthuan, the legend of dragons takes up most of the story, just like the "father of dragons" in elven mythology is Dragunir, which is completely different from the terrible folk tales elsewhere.

Dragons are a noble, intelligent species, their minds as clever and cunning as the elves.Generation after generation of elves have grown up with them. Without them, perhaps the elves would have ceased to exist thousands of years ago.Over the centuries, they have developed a bond with the Dragon Prince that has become embedded in their spirits.They are closely related to the Elves, their oldest and greatest allies.

When the first elves came to the Dragonspine Mountains, the dragon tamer Caledor occupied the land and named it after himself.Caledor the Dragon Tamer conquered the dragons and controlled them with magic until the dragons succumbed to his will. When he rode the dragon and flew over Ulthuan, all the elves recognized his rule. .This began the first golden age of the elves, which ended with the arrival of the Chaos Demon and the rise of the first Phoenix King Aenarion.

Afterwards, the dragon tamer recognized Aenarion as the original Phoenix King, and presented Aenarion with Indrognir, the greatest and oldest dragon of that era.Afterwards we all know, but in the war many elves and dragons were killed, because they were always the first to engage the enemy and the last to withdraw from the battlefield, and the dragons kept getting weaker and weaker. few.

With the Maelstrom built, the elves ultimately triumphed, but at a heavy price.As magical powers were withdrawn from the world, as the age of high magic turned to low magic, many strange things came to an end.The nest cooled, and the remaining giant dragons grew sleepy and weary.They fell asleep more and more, and the elves of Caledor found it more and more difficult to wake them.

Few ever dared to offend the kingdom of Caledor, for their Dragon Princes could ravage enemy armies and lands in hours, and their gigantic wings could cover the skies with numbers.

However, times have changed.There are far fewer dragons than there were in the old days, when they ruled the world, and the skies were full of soaring dragons, vying for supremacy in the primordial skies.Now there is silence in the huge cave deep in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range. Although there are still giant dragons here, they are all sleeping, and the air is filled with the sound of their rough breathing.

There is also a theory that when the Old Ones used occult science to change the orbits of the planets in pursuit of grand plans, the dragons went into hibernation. Being cold creatures, they hated the warmth that the Old Ones loved.Many dragons still sleep, waiting for colder times, dreaming of the day when the creations of the Old Ones will become a memory and they will once again rule the skies.

However, this obviously does not add up. From the arrival of the Ancient Saint to the Great Invasion and even the War of Revenge, dragons have been active in this world until the reign of the sixth Phoenix King "The Slaughterer" Tesiris. , the giant dragon fell into a deep sleep for unknown reasons.Other sources indicate that most of the dragons fell asleep by the end of the reign of Balshana, the second Phoenix King.

There are also some sources that suggest that the dragons voluntarily chose to sleep because they lost interest in the elves.

Dacius suspected that this might have something to do with the death of Caledor II's brother, Imradric, in the Old World.

Imradric is the most outstanding dragon tamer after the dragon taming ancestor. He has learned all the skills of the dragon taming ancestor.

"They have no master, no obligation, no legal code. They do what they want, and that's all about them. Blame, pity, enslavement, none of that means much to a dragon. Risk, grandeur, luxury .If you've ever lived in the world for millennia, that's all you care about." Imradric spoke to Dragonmage Leandra about the nature of dragons.

"I like her, I have always liked her, she has a heart similar to ours." Imradric's dragon Drauken once commented on Liandra to him.

Flanesh is a female dragon with shiny, fiery red scales.It is a distant relative of Dracon, and as a partner of Leandra, it has a deep relationship with Leandra, and likes Leandra very much. She calls Leandra the "Daughter of Fire".

Who is Leandra?She is tall, pale-skinned, athletic and beautiful, with blue eyes and copper-colored hair. She habitually wears crimson clothes and armor. She was born in the Old World colony of Corbanas, which is now Altdorf. .She was Imradric's lover, and eventually witnessed Imradric fall to the dwarf's axe.

With the death of Imladerick and the end of the War of Vengeance, everything changed. Although the Dragon Song is still passed on, the core that the dragon trainer really grasped is broken, and in the War of Vengeance, there is no Many dragons also suffered losses, and Flanesh and Drauken died at that time due to various reasons.

From Dacius's point of view, the relationship between the dragon and the elf is more like... I think highly of you, I think you are good, we are friends, so you can fight side by side on my back, after that Well……

"Perhaps the dragon's deep sleep is because the magic wind blowing is much softer than in the past? Or are all the factors added together? That's not right, Ulthuan has never lacked the wind of magic."

Dacius looked at the second slate and pondered. On the slate, it said that dragons are the deepest magical creations, and their shapes and breaths are varied because each dragon maintains its vitality through different winds of magic.

You must know that the dragons before the arrival of the ancient saints will not breathe flames, until the arrival of the ancient saints and the change of the orbit of the planet.The relationship between the ancient sage and the dragon is more of a state of equal communication, until something unknown happened next, something that was not recorded in history, only the old sage and the ancient dragon knew.The relationship between the dragon and the Old One has become estranged, or more correctly, the dragon has begun to avoid the Old One.

Dacius' judgment should have something to do with the slate he saw?Perhaps as an ancient sage who is good at biological transformation, he made a transformation plan for the giant dragon. Who is not confused?If it was him, he would run too.

As times change, as time goes by.The dragon princes of Caledor now spend months or even years singing ancient dragon songs, imploring the dragons to awaken from their slumber and come to their aid.

The Dragonsong is an ancient and closely guarded trust between elves and dragons.Anyone who knows their secrets will be bound by a sad magic, and if the covenant is betrayed, they will be doomed.

When the dragons are awakened, they are terrifying, and their deeds and actions are legendary.Light hits their gleaming scales, and then they spread their huge wings to shade the sun and illuminate the world with their fiery breath.But those dragons that can be awakened are sometimes dull and grumpy.They quickly become weak and tired and must go back to sleep to regain their strength.

Therefore, Dragon Princes are reluctant to use their mounts except when they are most needed. "Long is not here" has also become a term in Azul's mouth. Except for the greatest dragon prince of the Kingdom of Caledon who still rides a giant dragon to participate in battles, the other dragon princes have not rode the sky to participate in battles for many years, or all their lives. Part of the time is spent riding a donkey.

Drucci both coveted and hated the dragons who fought alongside Azul, and while few dreadlords would not command such a behemoth, most would kill every single one of them just to Keep Azul from getting the dragon.Caine Assassins have sneaked into the Dragon's Back Mountains to attack sleeping dragons or steal unhatched dragon eggs more than once, but such attacks are rare, and successful cases are even rarer.

The dragon prince Imrik, who was a contemporary of Darkus, had the direct bloodline of Caledor. When Imrik fought with Drukhi to defend the sleeping dragon in the Dragonspine Mountains, he was killed by Drukhi's serrated sword. When his body was impaled and he fell to the ground dying, Minasnir, who had been sleeping for centuries, woke up. After defeating the attacking Druch, Minasnir took Imrik back to the city to heal. Afterwards, Minas Nir chose Imric and began to fight side by side, directly destroying the world. It is a typical example of good people getting rewarded...

Among the dragons of Ulthuan, the youngest dragons are often called "sun dragons," a name derived from their violent tempers and the color of their scales.

Dragons whose will and mind are superior to those of the Sun Dragon are called "Silver Moon Dragons", and they can skillfully use sharp claws and terrible flames to kill the enemy.

The oldest and most powerful dragons are called "star dragons" because their lifespan is as long as the stars in the sky.Any one of the Star Dragons is enough to wipe out an entire army, tear a manticore to pieces, or rip a wyvern's head off, so even facing a Chaos lord is enough to win.

Old world and other races also have other taxonomies, such as baby dragons just hatched, young dragons, also known as "drakes", then dragons, giant dragons, up to the biggest emperor dragon.

Divided by type, there are also many kinds of dragons. Although the dragons of Ulthuan are colorful, including gold, emerald, ivory, amethyst, wine red or green, they are all fire dragons in the traditional sense.

Black dragon... forget about the black dragon.

As mentioned before, the black dragon was originally a fallen dragon species created by Malekith using black magic on the basis of the Ulthuan dragon. Currently, most of the black dragons live in the cold land of Naggaroth , Of course, there are also a small number of people who are not in Naggaroth. For example, the famous "Blood Fang" Uris Lach found an opportunity to run to the Old World when the world fell apart, and has since disappeared.

Of course not all black dragons with black scales are the result of Druchi's experiments, some are of natural origin, just like black dragons of other colors.The black dragons created are known as one of the most vicious species, reveling in wanton murder and massacre for their own benefit.

"It hates us, it hates us, but it needs us." A Druchi sorceress once said of the black dragon.

The Dragon Song is the secret of the dragon princes of Caledor, not Drucci, turning to brute force, narcotics, black magic and pain to control their black dragons, the result is a conflict between Drucci's dragon knight and his mount The relationship is one of domination and forced slavery, with both partners staring at each other, looking for the slightest weakness that can be used to turn the tables.

To put it more bluntly, many of Durucci's dragon knights died under his own black dragon, and the dragon knight of the Hell's Calamity family who once killed three Caledor dragon knights died under his own black dragon. Under the black dragon.

Black dragons are relatively similar in appearance to their pure-blood cousins, however, they have lost their ability to breathe fire and instead gain the ability to breathe poisonous gas and acid, one of their most powerful weapons, is the The overwhelming horror of seeing such a bloodthirsty and destructive monster.They are more powerful than their pure-blood cousins ​​due to the excess surge of dark magic within them, but this is also relatively speaking, between the sun dragon and the silver moon dragon.

There are many famous black dragons, such as Malekith's original Sulekh and the second Seraphim who merged with him in the next era, Rakkas' Batraus, Loxia's vortex, Newkel of Shaklot and so on.

Due to the combination of various characteristics, although the reborn Dacius likes giant dragons, he doesn't like black dragons.With his ability and status, of course he can ride the whole black dragon, and then?You must know that Du Luqi's beast taming has always been famous for being unreliable. When his own strength is weak, the black dragon will not buff him, but will make him die without knowing why.Heilong was distorted the moment he was born, it is impossible to say that I am your mother, Heilong regards you as his mother.

In Dacius’s view, the one that fits the moment is always the best, such as the big guy, who is obedient, smart and loyal, who knows how to help him at critical moments, instead of giving him a bite and killing him...

"But maybe we can change our thinking?" Dacius looked at the third slate and wondered.

The third tablet introduces an ancient holy creation, just like a blessing incubator, but this one is specifically for dragons...

In addition to fire dragons and black dragons, there are many types, such as the rouge dragon, which is an evil, intelligent and deadly creature. When the dragon lair where it lays eggs is saturated with the wind of Sasu, the hearts and souls in the eggs will gather and enlarge, New dragons will be born.

Named for its peculiar, lustrous scales, soft yet hard as steel, the carmine dragon is a deep ruby ​​color when young and fades to a deep purple, almost black, as it ages.In dwarf lore, their presence has always been seen as a harbinger of disaster.It is said that their lairs lie in dark swamps, ancient battlegrounds, and the ruins of fallen cities, anywhere there is mass death, so that the winds of Sash will nourish them.

The anger of the rouge dragons is extremely terrifying. They can spit out the original and powerful Shaxu wind shock wave, which can wither metal and turn flesh and blood into dust. It seems that thousands of years have passed in just a few seconds, just like Akko. The same age curse that Han cast on Eltharion.They are rarely succumbed to, let alone ridden, powerful mages in their own right, capable of wielding the Winds of Shash on instinct unless as part of some dark purpose or design of their own, though if they do, Usually restricted to those versed in the winds of Shash and arcane knowledge.

The famous Amethyst mage of the Empire, Elspeth von Duncan, rode a rouge dragon.

Red dragons are irascible dragons whose fire and rage have long been legendary and synonymous with dragons of the Old World.Although a rare creature, a brood of fire dragons found their way to the dwarven stronghold of Rapids, and was sealed in a hall that later became known as "Dragon Hall", and Kale, who was active in the empire's Reikland Dyer, it is said that Marcus Warfart shot and killed the mighty Maraslax, which was a red dragon of regal class, and Shimegu, who was killed by Gilles, etc. ...

In addition, there are many types of dragons. For example, there is a peculiar forest dragon in the forest of Athel Loren. Like Aslai, in order to survive and reproduce, they have gradually become part of the will of the forest.Although they are still voracious predators, they only hunt when the forest needs it, and lie dormant somewhere else at other times.When creatures far stronger than the spirits of Athel Loren invade, the forest will occasionally awaken a forest dragon or two to stave off these dangers.

The magma dragon has been introduced before. In addition to the one in the Black Ridge Mountains of Naggaroth, there is also a magma dragon named Hagdar in the dark land of the old world. It has the infamous title of "the natural disaster of the dark land".

The frost dragon is a relatively quiet and sleeping ancient dragon. They can use the wind of Agil, and their frost breath is extremely powerful.The ice cave of Ymildrak is located in the Mourning Mountains in the old world. Its frost breath is so powerful that it once froze an entire ogre tribe into ice lumps.But there are also frost dragons killed by ogres. Jogrel was beheaded by Gresu Big Gold Tooth, exuding a rotten stench, and the dragon skin torn from the flanks was made into a battle flag.

The Frost Demon Dragon and the Frost Dragon are not the same species. They have two distinct heads. Some people think that they are actually Frost Dragons before mutation.Chaosized, they lurk in their lairs beneath the surface of the treacherous wastelands of the troll kingdom. When these gigantic winged monsters appeared, no one knew their original nature or origin, but now they are undoubtedly corrupted by Chaos. evil monster.

The storm dragon, the "dragon" magic shadow... No, this is an extremely rare dragon, usually not appearing on the ground, but above the storm and clouds.The blue scales will generate explosive charges, and the mouth can spit out lightning balls. The most famous one is Ibas, who has the title of "Sapphire Eye".

At dawn, a dying dragon flies to die in the Old World's Plain of Bones, which becomes a vast graveyard filled with huge dragon bones.With the beginning of the Great Invasion, the Plain of Bones became flooded with a lot of dark magic, which eventually polluted the dragon bones, some of which were reactivated into undead monsters, and the dragons never went there after that.

With the rise of vampires and various powerful necromancers, the Plains of Bones gradually became a land of pilgrimage for them, where they would select one of the many dragon bones.Once a suitable corpse is found, they use the excess dark magic that taints the land to resurrect the dragon's remains as their eternal battle mounts, but all while doing so while being wary of the nightmare dragons that dwell there.

Nightmare dragons are not believed to be truly living creatures at all, but entities composed of pure Shash wind. Omdra the Fear is one of the greatest nightmare dragons of all time.It is immeasurably ancient, and its size dwarfs even other dragons, and it is regarded as a god by the inhabitants of the dark places of the old world.Its size and strength are so great that it would take tens of thousands of Chaos Dwarves, Ogres, and the evil creatures of the Chaos Wastes to bring it down, and even then it simply returns to its lair to heal again.

In the end, there are the distorted Chaos Dragons, and the two-headed Frost Demon Dragon is just one of them. Of course, there is another saying that they are the descendants of Garrauch.In addition, there is a Dimensional Fire Dragon, which is an extremely rare dragon that consumes Dimensional Stones.

Garrauch is remembered as the "Great Dragon", and the golden body is also called the "Golden Dragon". It is the brother of Indrognir and the strongest dragon at that time except Indrognir.It had been fighting against Chaos during the Great Invasion, but before the establishment of the Maelstrom, that is, when Aenarion fought against the Four Great Demons, it ushered in its tragic fate. Lierfin encounters Carlos Fateweaver.

Carlos Fateweaver skillfully used magic to quickly break through Garrauch's defenses and kill the Dragon Prince Lilfin.

A distraught Garrauch attacks Carlos Fateweaver, determined to exact revenge at the cost of his own life.Unexpectedly, Carlos Fateweaver's huge body did not make any resistance, and the giant dragon's huge mouth slammed into Carlos Fateweaver's bird-like head, tearing it apart.The shattered body of Carlos Fateweaver instantly turned into colorful mist, enveloped the mad dragon, and then disappeared.

Garrauch soared into the air with the brilliance of victory, and the elf warriors below gave out cheers of victory.But its body suddenly twitched violently, and the elf warrior's cheers stopped abruptly.It froze in mid-air, its eyes glowing with evil iridescence.Its scales flowed like water, forming evil, squinting faces, giggling wildly in praise of the Lord of Change.

Vile tentacles and vile spikes protruded from Garrauch's flesh, and eventually its once-noble head split in two, right down to the base of its neck.To the horror of the elf warrior, both of its heads were turned towards what had been the ranks.One head spewed black flames, burning dozens of elves alive, while the other spewed a puff of acidic gas, bringing horrific mutation and madness to everything it touched,
At first, the two heads were governed by the same will, but soon, they began to tear at each other with hatred, which clearly showed that Garrauch's soul was not completely destroyed, but soon Chaos once again took control of its mighty The body, with the establishment of the maelstrom, it also disappeared, but there are still traces of it appearing from time to time.

In addition, the more famous Chaos Dragon is Bodros, and Teclis after the Battle of Fennuwa Plain could not completely defeat it, so he could only seal it up...

"It's really a savage dragon." Dacius looked at the rubbing album that Ren handed over and muttered. (end of this chapter)
