Driskoll

Lore no longer makes sense

D r i s k o l l ”The Red King”

B I O G R A P H Y The current master of chairs- the most important council member. He is also one of the oldest dragons in Jörmungind. Driskoll spends the majority of his time sulking in the crimson room deep within the palace. He is content there having spent his earlier years exploring the world. Recently the elder imperial has begun the search for an heir to his throne. The search will be long and hard but he believes that eventually He will find what he needs. His age is an ever growing problem. Being an imperial Driskoll is at risk of becoming an Emperor, a fearsome beast that will rend the flesh of whatever’s in its way. Dr. Gray knows this all to well and he has informed the king to never let another imperial into the palace. This has further increased the need for an heir as following the orders of someone no one has seen is not a universally accepted thing.

P A S T Driskoll was raised how you would expect any prince, the finest silver, maids, butlers, and everything he could ever want delivered on a golden platter. He grew cold and heartless over the years from looking down on everyone around him. In recent years the clan switched to be governed by an oligarchy. This was in part because Driskoll could no longer roam the castle while there were visitors. Rue especially.

R E L A T I O N S H I P S Driskoll acts the same towards everyone. No matter if you are and ant beneath his boot or his beloved wife. He is cold hearted and often described as emotionless by those ‘close’ to him. He only acts differently towards some of his kin. He has never spoken to another imperial or a dragon with an imperial parent since his younger years. He is very lonely and is becoming more passive, depressed, and distant.

Driskoll was one of the travelers who discovered the cavernous ridge that the clan now resides in. He was just a teen at the time, with red scales freckled with purple and gold and a face full of hope and arrogance. He was an apprentice of one of the other travelers, one who still remains nameless to this day (not Ceiro who told you that). Another traveler was with them, a bulking skydancer with the leathery wings of a half-bred. The tail is true, the one about them being too weak to leave the ridge after falling in during a particularly dark night. The caves they discovered during their time at the bottom inspired the idea of a settlement. Being as haughty as he was Driskoll quickly declared himself king and used his brawn to discourage the others from taking his place. He called himself the red king and fashioned himself an iron crown before he could even make sure the group had a source of water.
The original cavern was carved deeper and an easy way to the surface was established. With that done Driskoll hand picked a few from a local town to persuade to join. The first few were just some lady friends he had made but eventually he brought back some dragons who could do a bit of heavy lifting. With ridge beginning to become crowded expanding was necessary and expand they did. Within the next few years the entire ridge had dens carved in every available rock face and Driskoll was still sitting at the top of it all.
He was a strict ruler for quite some time and the other original adventurers were swept beneath a metaphorical rug. Dragons were becoming uneasy around their ever present ruler, the red king was almost overthrown before he decided to change things up.
By now Driskoll was getting up in years, his once fantastic scales where growing thin and losing their color and his thick mane was now wiry and uneven. He was cold towards others and often snapped at visitors. Many more knowledgeable folk saw his behavior and thought back to emperors- one of those in such a closed in environment could spell death for thousands. Driskoll came to his senses and along with the help of the rest of the clan he formed a council. Not long after he ceased to exist.
The truth is he sealed himself away in his quarters for the safety of the clan but to keep what little is left of his image they were told he just doesn’t like to be seen. Many have forged stories though- perhaps the red king kicked the bucket, or maybe he did go full emperor and every earthquake they experience is him stomping around beneath the old palace. Each rumor is snuffed out by those working with the council but there is one they can’t seem to squash.

With Driskoll sealed away he is required to have a dragon who can relay his words, an interpreter. Many believe this dragon is a fraud and no one can prove them wrong without finding where the old king resides. Is the one in charge of it all silent while a hatchling speaks in his voice?
