Betelgeuse

a bit of text so text later wont be orange lmao]

Having come to this clan in pursuit of knowledge alongside Olorea, he decided to don a new name, one that would be befitting of the element he hailed from, as well as the star-seeking future he now held. Easily absorbed in his studies, he, at times, forgets how terrifying he can be, and occasionally lashes out at interruptions. In, truth, it's generally more of a startled reflex, but it has caused many a fellow dragon to backpedal, occasionally into something or someone else, causing a rather large disruption. Some of the braver young ones, unfortunately, have made it a bit of a game to see if they can recreate the famous disaster in which a startled Betelgeuse knocked himself back into one of our lair's carved stone shelves, knocking it over and shattering not only that one, but the next four in a row after it.

Original Appearance:

A nasty boy Is surprisingly helpful to Thyone. Anyone else? That's a good question. It's not so much that he doesn't want to - he just doesn't know enough about fish and metalsmithing and architectural mathematics. He can stand there and hold beakers though Kind of lazy sometimes - only sometimes Doesn't generally like children due to aforementioned pestering Sounds and looks menacing, but he isn't really. Really, he isn't. Rather mellow Has a deep chuckle Enjoys eating fish, but will eat anything. Literally almost anything Is fond of Thyone, but does not feel as though he can be in a relationship with him without telling him the truth - something he's not ready to do just yet Comes from minor royalty - fled from previous clan and traveled for eons before returning to the spot it used to be and finding this clan Had a falling out with his father - decided that mastering his magic was more important than ruling and left his inheritance to his younger sister She dies in a strange accident Is actually super old Betelgeuse isn't his actual name - everyone knows this, but no one from our new clan knows what his true name is - this is simply the next in a long line of aliases Farthori is sworn to secrecy on this matter

Lore that needs to be written out and updated ;-;

There's a deep, shifting horror in a dark pit in the caverns. Every new moon, he goes down alongside Farthori to subdue its waking throes.

That monstrosity is a seven-headed emperor - composed of his father's body, as well as those of a few old friends.

---

After discovering the sheer raw potential of his power, Betel nearly begged from his father, the king, the freedom to leave and travel to far off lands in order to experience their differences, and master his own surging arcane strength. However, his pleading turned to frustration, and anger tore the two apart.

After Betelgeuse's rather belligerent departure, the old king was never the same again, and the task of ruling fell to his daughter. She reigned admirably, and under her rule, paths, air routes, all infrastructure and relating policy was reformed, leading to a massive boom in trade and prosperity.

---

Imperials guard the truth of emperors, terrified that others will find out and ostracize them. As such, when the king died, the few imperials that cryptically recommended he be buried away from the rest of his family were ignored. He was bereaved of his son in life - how could they separate the king from his wife and daughter in death?

• No one could stop the emperor's rampage - even Farthori, the king's old rival turned friend and confidant couldn't stop it - he was presumed to have died and been absorbed into the emperor as his corpse was never found
• After the course of ten days, a lone magician walked into the midst of the fight to shield the grief-stricken remains of what was once a mighty clan
• Legend says that there were tears in both his eyes and those of the beasts's
• And that as he whispered "I'm sorry," the force of his will pushed it back and it fell, deep into the earth, sealed underground in a proper tomb
• But the damage was done. The fortress, this gilded, glimmering, towering city fell, and the area was abandoned to the wilderness once more, until a pair of stragglers named Verity and Gable fell through the caverns and built their own home on the ruins of what remained
