Kish the Mad in Dromaria | World Anvil

Kish the Mad


Kishfishious was born to the dragon’s of Emperor's Peak at the tail end of the Age of Horror. In the aftermath of such a devastating period, Kish was taught to craft, to collect, and to preserve. He was raised alongside the mortals of the time, serving as their protector and ally. When Kishfishious came of age he was given the title of Valtgard and served alongside the mortals in the Arcane Sacrarium.   As a protector of ancient artifacts and traditions, Kish became a legend. Objects were spread across the globe, buried or lost to the darkness that has enshrouded things for so long. Kish and his companions were responsible for gathering these powerful objects, returning them to the vaults for safe keeping. For nearly five hundred years Kish led the Valtgard, passing down its secrets to the next generation.   When Kish neared his thousandth birthday he found an object that would forever change him. A weapon named “Heritor’s Foil” began to speak to him. The blade convinced the dragon that it should be kept apart from the others, a hoard of its own. Kish agreed, and began to bring it companions, stockpiling every sentient item that should be returned the Arcane Sacrarium.   Over the centuries that followed Kish changed, forgetting his duty and becoming a hermit. Within his lair is a hoard of unknown size, filled with sentient items that have become the dragon’s friends. In the rare moments Kish is outside near the Godswept Peaks, he is seen watching over the Feral Steppes, engrossed in a rivalry with the nearby dragon, Naz'Nuvarr, The Burnished Baron.
