Kataigida

καταιγίδα
Storm

A former Project Manager tasked with supplying power to the hurricane-torn lands bordering Lightning, Water and Fire territories.

While fixing up underground wiring for a telecommunications tower on the south-eastern banks of Churnscar, Kataigida found themselves drawn to a strange series of underground tunnels linking the sea caves below the Tsunami Flats to an abandoned, flooded mine shaft. Upon exploring these passageways on their work breaks, Kataigida uncovered a massive chamber, covered in strange, bioluminescent life forms that had never seen the light of day. At the center of this cavern lay a pulsating, eldritch blob of shifting colours and psychoactive spores; a creature - if it could even be called that - so alien, so indescribable, that Kataigida could only gaze upon it in awe as the mysterious entity oozed noxious, pestilent fluids into the surrounding pools and crevices upon which its many creeping tendrils snaked.

Tentatively, Kataigida reached out a single clawtip to touch the Entity, and then their life was turned on its head by visions so complex, so vastly cosmic and perverse, that any dragon who dared make contact with the Otherside would be incapable of returning to normalcy again. Had it not been for the lone serthis who had come seeking the deadly poisons growing from the cavern's walls - a desperate bid to survive the upcoming Cull - then the unconscious dragon laying at the foot of the Entity's domain may not have survived. When questioned as to why this serpentine being simply didn't let Kataigida perish, he turns his head and with a disdainful flick of his forked tongue, says nothing as he draws his hood over his crimson face.

Kataigida decided to keep the tunnels a secret, for fear that enroaching dragons would disturb the natural environment of this strange and psychedelic place - and the power of the Entity within. As Stormcatcher's elites pose ever pressing questions as to the delayed construction projects, Kataigida and their small clan grows ever stronger in their faith towards protecting the Shrine. Many dragons in the clan are tasked with either constructing multiple laboratories to study the surrounding specimens that spawned in this chamber, or maintaining the altars and shrines dedicated to reverance of the Entity's archaic teachings.

Those who get too close to the Entity, however, risk losing themselves to the depths of infinite knowledge, seized by Ego Death as their minds are folded every which way by forbidden secrets of a world unreachable to the mortal mind...
