First evildoer!

Character name: Beresad the Black

Appearance: rather small for a Dark Dragon, black scaled, green eyes. Not many spikes or spines, very smooth.

Realms ruled: the First City of the Dragons

Faction: Himself. Beresad and his dragons dislike the Free Peoples, the Orcs, and the Dragon Lords, as he believes that Dragons should answer to none but other Dragons.

Story: Some have thought that his small size would make Beresad weaker. They were right in one respect; Beresad is less strong physically than his larger bretheren (though his strength is still formidable). However, Beresad more than makes up for that with his knowledge of the arcane arts. Long ago, in the era before the legendary war of wrath, Beresad’s mother was unusual amongst the dragons. She did not want to fight. She ran away, hoping that she may flee the reach of Morgoth. At the southernmost tip of Harad, she built herself a city in the fashion of Elves and Men, one with homes and storages and a library and anything else one would need in a city. There she laid an egg, and set to rest another egg which she had stolen. However, once the war of wrath began, Morgoth’s call was too strong, and she was forced to abandon the only dragon-built city and her child. She died in the war. The two eggs took much longer to hatch without the presence of a mother. Beresad awoke first, and immediately began breathing his fire on the other egg to increase the process. Soon, Ashbite the red dragon hatched out of that egg. Ashbite and Beresad were opposites in almost every way. Ashbite was spiky and spiny, Beresad was smooth and streamlined. Ashbite was large for his kind, Beresad was small. Ashbite was muscly, fast, and physically powerful, while Beresad was slower and weaker, but possessed a power and intelligence that Ashbite couldn’t dream of. Despite these opposites, the black dragon and the red dragon became best friends. They romped through the city which had crumbled into ruins over time, Beresad training in magical arts and Ashbite training up his physical powers. Then one day, humans came. The humans decided that they’d look through the ruins for loot. And they found it. Beresad and Ashbite found them shoving gold and jewels into sacks. Ashbite ripped several to shreds while Beresad turned the rest to ash with his green firebreath. Ashbite then knew that they wouldn’t be safe on the ground, so he performed the most complex spell of his life: he raised the city up from the earth, effectively creating a floating island. However, Beresad being inexperienced, the city broke up into many many smaller floating islands. Beresad and Ashbite lived there, growing steadily in power. Beresad found many books that his mother had left for him, increasing his knowledge even more. Then the Dragons rose up, and Beresad and Ashbite went about, telling the others about the “First City of the Dragons”, and about how it was a place of safety, prosperity and power that no mortal could reach. Beresad gave many displays of power, and many other dragons agreed that Beresad would be a good leader. There were dragons who went to the ruins of the First City for the simple purpose of a place to live in safety and solitude, while others flocked to the leadership and ideals of Beresad and his right-hand-man Ashbite. Many other Dragon’s share Beresad’s belief that Dragons should only be commanded by other dragons, or gods. Though there are many dragons living in the ruins of the First City nowadays, only a fraction actually actively help Beresad and Ashbite in their military campaigns against the Men and Dwarves and Dragon Lords.

Equipment: None, wields powerful magic as his primary weapon, along with a green semi-acidic fire breath.
