Name : Kurogh Maeldunvok (Pronounced Kuu-Rog)
Gender : Male
Age : 458 (At time of death)
Species : Kurosian dragon
Breed : Shire
Relations : Feuriah’s mate, Sire of Voteil and Cynder, brother of Asiirha
Parents : Sire – Maeldun Dam – Elaida
Element : Fear
Desired Voice Actor : Joel Edgerton

Personality : Very abrasive and cocky of his strength, Kurogh didn’t get along with anyone. He’d much rather prove his strength and earn respect that way instead of using the art of conversation. However, it didn’t make him stupid. Kurogh was one of the most efficient, lethal Warlords in Kurosian History, his tactics and techniques were brilliant to a destructive scale. He was a master of his element, Fear, but the one thing Kurogh feared most was losing power, and death. It was hard to hold a meaningful conversation with Kurogh; if it didn’t entail praising himself or war, he made it clear he didn’t care. Selfish (to an extent), boastful, and incredibly demanding. He was a firm believer of the Purple Dragon Prophecy, and was Malefor’s most loyal follower. He felt above most typical Kurosian customs and beliefs, feeling he could lead the way to a better, more powerful, feared, and pure Kurosian race.

History : Despite the fact Kurogh was the last Kurosian king, little is known about his youth. His father was sire to many, many offspring, and did not see anything special about Kurogh enough to take part in his life. Kurogh’s mother was strict in teaching Kurogh war tactics and fighting techniques, enrolling him in specific schools far earlier than most would attend. While it was common that most males wouldn’t aid in raising young (especially after the first few clutches) Kurogh wanted to be the apple of his father’s eye, and grew incredibly jealous when he realized Asiirha was the trophy child, not him. His brother was born with black bones, such a trait is nearly holy to the Kurosian people and it left Kurogh in Asiirha’s shadow. Angry, Kurogh did everything he could to prove himself stronger, and better than his brother in every way; but always fell short to the point his own father rarely remembered his name. 

The fear dragon’s strength and cunning accelerated him through the ranks, becoming one of the youngest appointed Warlords in the Kurosian Court. When Feuriah first arrived in Kurosia, it was Kurogh that suggested war upon Warfang.

When King Burdohk died, Kurogh tried to become king right away. However, Queen Athrenna kept defeating him year after year. Only after her death did he automatically gain the crown. No female could match his skills, most of them dying at his jaws, until Feuriah battled him and became his Queen.

The very first cycle, Kurogh insisted that he and his Queen produce offspring. Most would wait quite a few  cycles before reproducing, but Kurogh wanted a legacy. Feuriah agreed, and their first child was born; Voteil. But, during her time of pregnancy, Malefor arrived through the Veil of Darkness claiming to be their savior, with Asiirha and his wife Roxandara. Kurogh, having been a firm believer of the purple dragon prophecy, at once bowed to Malefor and swore his allegiance, while Feuriah was cautious. This was only the beginning of the King and Queen’s hate for each other.

Kurogh obeyed Malefor’s every word. After Voteil’s birth, and his soothsaying abilities were revealed, Malefor immediately disliked the child and told Kurogh that the child was a curse. Kurogh believed him, listening to Malefor as the purple dragon assured him they would need warrior children to lead the final wars against Skylands. Kurogh then demanded that Feuriah resent their son, but of course, the Queen lashed back venomously. To keep her rebellious thoughts and plans hidden, Feuriah agreed to participate in the next breeding cycle to placate him. 

However, during Feuriah’s second pregnancy, Kurogh became reclusive. He spent most of his time with Malefor and his closest most loyal followers. He grew more and more angry with his brother, Asiirha, and shortly after Feuriah gave birth to Cynder’s clutch, became incredibly paranoid about his position as king and furture overlord once Malefor encased the universe in eternal darkness. (( Related Post )) The night Feuriah snuck away to meet with Eon and the Skylanders, Kurogh was nowhere to be seen.

Kurogh’s body was later found by Feuriah during the last hours of Kurosia’s life. He was among their smashed eggs, his throat viciously torn out and his body mangled. 

When Feuriah returned as the Lost Queen over 100 years later, she immediately blocked access to the Royal Hatchery and hid it away. Underlings have stories about walking by the hidden door, hearing faint roars of anguish and hatred from the wall. 

Facts :

  • Kurogh originally found Feuriah very attractive and a worthy mate. While their personalities clashed and he grew distasteful of her, he’d still get jealous when others grew interested
  • Absolutely hated the word ‘moist’
  • Kurogh was one of the warlords that helped organize the raid on Warfang, and originally was very distrustful of Feuriah. Her loyalty and ruthlessness after the war gained her interest from him.
  • Loved snakes, and often had many enslaved snake people work for him. Rattle Shake claims that his grandfather was one of the snakemen enslaved by Kurogh, thus Shake’s dislike of Kuros.
  • Had very cute, squeaky sneezes that he would often ignore or pretend didn’t happen
  • Kurogh fought Eon face to face countless times, but the portal master always beat him. One such battle is rumored to have been so intense, that one of Eon’s spells clashed with Kurogh’s attacks and unknowingly created the alternate universe of “Mirror of Mystery”. Because of his many battles with Kurogh, Eon was almost reluctant to make Cynder a Skylander; but did so anyway for her heroic deeds, and his own personal guilt.

Lost Queen : I’m not honestly too sure wether or not my human form helped at all or not, but I had my human form by the time I had Havok. Kaos didn’t get his dragon form till after Hysteria. But alas, strange things do happen in Skylands so I’ve just gone along with it.

As for another? No, I’m quite finished having children. At this point, I’ve given birth to so many yet so few remain, it wares on the mind. I was not prepared to have Havok, I was so scared that because he was a hybrid, he wouldn’t survive. After losing so many, having to banish the last child I knew survived…I wouldn’t be able to bare losing another. Even though giving birth to Havok’s oversized egg nearly killed me and or him… I needed him as much as I needed Kaos. Havok gave me more to live for than just vengeance. He was an oddity, so much diferent than dragon whelps, but he was the first child I got to raise past the age of 5. 

I originally didn’t want any more after Havok, but Kaos was actually the one who wanted one more. Given that humans live so much shorter than dragons… I gave in, and so far I’m quite happy with my daughter. Both of my hybrid children have so much promise, but no more. Kurosian dragons are typically only active for 3 cycles (about 15 years) before they take a 5 cycle break. I think I’m good for a century.

From the desk of Asiirha Cnámhdubh:

Dear Feuriah,

Your king insisted I send all progress reports on your son’s intellectual growth to your study. I’m sure he’s already given you quite the attempted tongue lashing for my ‘attack on his behavior.’ I don’t think I need to tell you your mate is an idiot, but I thought I should tell you the short version of what I let Kurogh hear.

Voteil is a gift. He is a precious boy and should always be treated as such. The fact that Kurogh shows such blatant distaste and disgust that his first born is a Seuth is insulting to the honor of having a Seuth for a son; Kurogh should be ashamed, and I think that under his arrogant response to my tongue lashing, he was.

Voteil is healthy as ever, as you see when you do not leave him in my care. Again, I thank you for the privilege of allowing me to instruct the boy in politics, sciences and history when you have all of Kurosia’s finest scholars to choose from; I am humbled and surely, blessed by some god or another.

And despite Kurogh’s insistence that he is a ‘scrawny, no-good weakling,’ Voteil shows promise in physical combat training. He is far removed from the sickly, fearful whelp his sire assumes he is. The only perceived weakness Voteil might have is…well, how very potent and convincing his dreams are.

You and I both discussed this at length, but his dreams and night terrors are as frequent as ever. At first he didn’t want to tell me about his dreams; I think the lad wanted to impress me. But his demeanor and his obvious relation to yourself plus his razor sharp wit from our first meeting impressed me beyond words. He truly has no need for trying to prove himself to me; perhaps you should convey this to him, somehow. But back to the dreams.

They aren’t…troubling, persey. Not in the way one might think. He has of course, spelled out certain doom for some that have come to pass. Though their fates were well deserved, I’m sure you know of whom I speak. Traitorous bastards. Most of the time, however, his explanations and his immediate outcries when he wakes from his night terrors and dreams are sadly incoherent, even to me. He has spoken in certain tongues I do not understand, and when asked, he says he doesn’t know those languages. There is more to the nature of Seuth than either of us or the combined knowledge of all our libraries can tell, though I will work with the lad to try and form new studies that might help future generations understand.

…’Riah, I must confess this. You have asked in the past why Roxandara and I have yet to have a clutch…and I told you a lie. Roxandara doesn’t want children; we aren’t waiting; and on top of all of that, one of us (or both) is sterile. Our mating is not a happy one, as you have seen; we blame each other for our inability to produce young. I fear that I shall never have a clutch, not unless myself or Roxandara had outside help. And that will never come to pass; Roxandara is disgusted by all males of any species (besides Malefor), and she is fiercely protective of ‘her territory.’ Which is to say, she is fiercely protective and territorial of me. I so much as glance at another female and she’ll try to slap me senseless.

I bring this up because you must know…if I were ever to have a son, I would be the luckiest dragon in all of creation if he was half as good and precious as your Voteil is. You are so very lucky to have him. And he is incredibly fortunate to have you.

Sincerely,
Your Friend, Asiirha

Gill Grunt and Fryno’s herm son, Hornscale hates the Kurosian specialties that are mostly made of the gillmen *His kind, but is a hybrid of since he’s also part rhinoceros like his father Fryno*, Mabu, griffin, and yeti dishes, and of course, they’re really sick, but to the Kurosian dragons like the Lost Queen, they’re not. Looks like Hornscale’s mom Gill Grunt, Slam Bam, Sonic Boom, Flynn, Cali, and Hugo won’t like those Kurosian dishes at all either.

OOC : LMFAO THIS IS BEAUTIFUL X,D eeeeeee I can’t get over how adorable Feur looks in your style hon! Oh Feur, you evil butt xD

You’ve said your element was one of the rarest ones, but which were the most common? And were there any that struck you as odd or interesting?

Lost Queen : The most common? Fire, magic, water, earth, the usual elements mostly. The most odd though, there was this one Kuros that could only make fire go out. Not cause fire, not breathe it, just boom no more fire. 

Why was Kurogh dissapointed in Voteil? Was it because he wasn’t like him?

Lost Queen : Voteil was a soothsayer, a very rare talent among our people where if he mastered his abilities, could see into the future, past, read minds, see into dreams, etc. Vovo was also a very sensitive child, friendly even though he made many uncomfortable with his random views into their minds, their futures, or their AU selves.

It is a huge honor, however Kurogh wanted warrior children. 

Feuriah, when you became queen, was there any particular Kuros you wanted as your king? That you hoped would beat Kurogh during the tournament to replace Athrenna and Burdohk?

Lost Queen : Not really, I was willing to be paired with any male deemed worthy to rule our people. I didn’t care much for Kurogh, but I truly started to despise him after he stated his disappointment in our son. Only then did I hope another male would come along and beat him, many tried but unfortunately he stayed King.
