burdohk – Weirdlanders

She wasn’t impressed easily, and she had seen many kings and queens raise then fall. But she did compliment them….once!

Were Queen Athrenna and King Burdohk killed at the same time? if not and King Burdohk died first then does that mean Kurogh killed Athrenna in the rights tournament to gain the title of King? Or did he fight and kill Burdohk for that?

Lost Queen : No, Athrenna lead the city by herself for many years after Burdohk fell in battle. Right after Burdohk was killed however, Kurogh immediately challenged Athrenna to be King. But, she beat him every time. She saw something in him that I guess I didn’t see until it was too late. She fought with every fiber of her being to keep him from becoming King, often declaring him unworthy of ever becoming so.

Unfortunately, she finally did die in battle, and out of the tournaments to decide the new leaders Kurogh got his wish. However, no female seemed to be able to defeat him, until I challenged him.

Lost Queen : From what I remember, King Burdohk actually wasn’t as grumpy as he looked. He just… naturally always had that expression. He wasn’t friendly don’t get me wrong, but he just looked like that. From what I heard from Athrenna, Kruta acted a LOT like his father.

Lost Queen : Was that Burdohk was HUGE. He towered over others, and he was all muscle and strength. Brokt Kuros tended to be big dragons on their own, but spirits Burdohk was massive. Half the time, he didn’t have to resort to using his earth powers in battle, he’d use his brawn to overcome others.

What did Queen Athrenna and King Burdock’s children grow up to be?

Lost Queen : Most of them became war generals, but a few became teachers for colleges. The youngest son, Kruta, was in college for becoming a war general himself when he and I were I guess ‘seeing each other’. He died in his first real battle though :T

Lost Queen : It’s extremely rare for a King and Queen’s offspring become their successors, due to Kurosian hierarchy. Kurogh wasn’t related to the past king or queen, but he was the child of one of the warlords in Burdohk’s court. Royal offspring usually gained high places in the guard. In my years in Queen’s Military Training college, almost all of my teachers were the offspring of either Burgohk/Athrenna or the king and queen before them.

King Burdohk (pronounced Bur-Doke) was a very gruff, abrasive Brokt Kuros, his element had been earth. I only met him a handful of times, but I can still hear his loud voice to this day. He had one of those voices that carried through a room, he was just…loud, even when he wasn’t yelling. He often ranted about pride of our people, and how we should keep up our place as true bringers of darkness. He was quick to make war with others, but was also a fearsome, unstoppable force in battle. Sadly… he was slain in battle agains’t the nomadic Jackalope clains. He was a tank in battle, but a Jackalope assassin was able to sneak onto him and slip a knife into Burdohk’s throat.

Then there’s Queen Athrenna… oh the words I have for her. She was stunningly beautiful with a strong presence. She had a way of silencing a room just by standing still and quiet. When she did speak, she had a sweet, comforting voice; but stern, calculated. She always had an air about her that she was always one step ahead of you; and she was. Athrenna was fast and graceful, the way she moved was like her element; water. Athrenna was the very first Kurosian I saw when I escaped to Kurosia from Warfang. She had always been kind to me, but never put me above others. She wanted me to work for her respect, and did I ever. It is because of her I wanted to be Queen, and it is because of her I became one.

She too died in battle; one that I fought at her side in. I… don’t like talking about it. I feel that I failed her when she was killed. I ignored my orders to keep fighting even if the Queen was slain in battle; I ran to her side.

She was the first Kurosian I ever saw… and I was her last.
