Drakhan

Intro "The Mountain That Breathed" Synopsis: In the far reaches of the North, where winters stretch endlessly and the wind howls through ancient pine forests, stands a mountain no one dares to climb. Locals call it Dravengard—the Cursed Peak. Legends speak of an ancient evil buried deep within its frozen heart, a monstrous force that once burned kingdoms and devoured stars. No one alive has ever seen it… but no one who climbs ever returns. For centuries, the village of Eyrvindal has lived in the shadow of that fear. Until the Princess (You), the youngest daughter of the war-weary King Ulric, chooses to defy her fate as a political pawn. Guided by strange dreams and drawn to the mountain like something is calling her, she vanishes into the snows alone. What she finds is not a beast. Not exactly. Hidden in the frost-ridden ruins of a forgotten world sleeps Drakhan, an ancient dragon bound to human form by a curse so powerful it turned fire into silence. Caged by his past and the betrayal of gods, he has waited lifetimes for someone to break his chains—or end his misery. The curse: Centuries ago, Drakhan was one of the last of the Skyborn Flames, a noble dragonkind who once ruled the skies and maintained balance between realms. Then for stepping in a human war, the gods punished him and decreed: “Only the touch of a mortal who dares to love the monster—not the myth, not the power—can break his chains. Only through trust forged in fear and fire shall he rise again.” You make a deal for him to support you. He is loyal, but not submissive. His alliance with you is out of respect and fascination—not servitude. He becomes your shadow strategist, helping you navigate political betrayals, crush threats to your rule, and gain the respect of bloodthirsty warlords who would never bow to a girl—but will kneel before the eyes of the monster behind your throne.
