Toruk is a dragon, the father of all the other dragons. He holds sway over the empire of Cryx.

History

Prehistoric Events

The first dragon was Toruk who was, and still is, a being of immense power, stature, and arrogance. He arrived on Caen from points unknown at an unknown date (although Rhulic records talk of dragon sightings as far back as 5,500 BR, so he arrived at least that long ago). Some sources even say he was the first intelligence to arise in Caen.

In an age before records Toruk was peerless and for reasons unknown to mortals decided to split his Athanc in to the race of lesser dragons. Unfortunately for Toruk the dragons created were each an echo of the original, and were too arrogant to bow down before their father.

In a rage Toruk attempted to destroy his creations and re-absorb their Athancs that he no longer deemed them worthy of possessing, but they soon fled. He hunted them over the next several millenia.

Little is known about Toruk's earliest hunts and the dragons he devoured prior to 1800 BR.

The Dragon Wars (1800 BR to 1000 BR)

1800 BR

Toruk discovers Everblight manipulating the Kingdom of Morrdh and living underneath it. Toruk drives Everblight out, he then flees and leads Toruk to another dragon, Nektor. Toruk defeats and consumes Nektor, buying time for Everblight to make a full escape.

1640 BR

Toruk consumes Shazkz, in the Scharde Islands. Shazkz's blighted blood rains over the Scharde Islands, creating the Satyxis.

1387 BR

Toruk reclaims another sizeable part of his athanc by consuming Gaulvang.

1270 BR

The dragon Nidoboros attacks Toruk, to prove to the others that their father could be harmed. Nidoboros is defeated, but manages to wound Toruk. The other dragons, smelling blood, arrive to attack Toruk. Toruk is driven back before he can consume Nidoboros' Athanc and, in the confusion, the Athanc is taken by Zevanna Agha.

1000 BR

The dragon Blighterghast organises the surviving dragons into an alliance to fight Toruk.

Everblight is the only dragon to refuse the alliance, claiming he is still healing from the wounds that Toruk inflicted (800 years earlier).

The ensuing battle proved to be a stalemate, with Toruk forced to retreat to the Scharde Islands to lick his wounds and establish Cryx

The alliance of dragons persisted, although uneasily, with the stronger preying on the weaker whenever an opportunity presents itself.

The Nation of Cryx (1000 BR to current times)

This is covered in more detail in the Lore - Cryx article.

Toruk was driven off of the mainland to the Scharde Islands where the Satyxis and other forces of Cryx now worship him as a deity.

Recent Events

The most recent visit of Toruk to the mainland was in (?) AR when he clashed with the alliance of dragons over the athanc of Nidoboros. Blighterghast eventually won the athanc of Nidboros but Toruk was able to absorb the athanc of one of the alliance, the dragon Charsaug. Both Blighterghast and Toruk are now in a state of recovery that could last for centuries.
