Ressth-eck, Storm-Bringer

The Haslanti man ran to the side of the airship. He could hear them, in the pitch of night, the sound of wind rushing through the air. He rang the emergency bell franticly, as men started to climb wearily from their bunks. Then they came, with wings and claws and teeth, and they killed and they took. They are the air pirates of The Black Crag.

Ressth-eck entombed himself at the Start if the Great Contagion, seeking to preserve part of the Dragon King Knowledge and Lore. He meant to wake up 200 years later. In fact he woke up 1 year ago, and he's not impressed. When he ascended from his manse home deep in the Black Crag Mountains he despised briefly at what he found, barbarian human life and a bunch of uncivilised Pteroks.

Ressth-eck was not impressed and retreated to his manse to think things over. He emerged a few days later and began to examine the Pteroks and choose the several who looked closes to The Awakening. The months of training paid off and he has managed to bring three dragon kings to civilisation. Recently he has been expanding his view of the world a bit, and recently met his first humans since the first age on a Haslanti Airship. He has deduced that the dragon Kings are not the only ones who have regressed as a race. The humans ship was of shabby build and non-could understand him. The Dragon Kings slew all on board and offered their hearts up to the Unconquered Sun.

His fellows and himself have begun raiding airships that pass through their territory collecting resources and produce on board to train more young and find someone who can explain what's happened to the world.

Ressth-eck is himself a master of lore from the first age and is most interested in learning about today's world. Before he was placed into hibernation he was a martial artist that followed The Path of the Thundering Dragon style martial art. It specialised in using the devastating power of the Shock Gauntlets. It has not occurred to Resstheck that the last master of this style probably died hundreds of years ago, and the quest to rediscover its power is surely only just around the corner for the increasingly ambitious Dragon King.

Attention has not escaped his notice and has been named the Storm-Bringer by local airship men, and surely it is only a matter of time before someone with a lot less delicate frame than a mere mortal is sent to stop his raids and remove him altogether. A few local mountain tribes have started offering homage, these sparse barbarians fear him greatly for Ressth-eck can be quite an impressive beast to behold. His worship is becoming more pronounced as Ressth-eck stretches further from his manse and expands his domain.
