Drazhoath the Ashen

Brutally maintaining the Dhrath-Zharr empire’s farthest reaches with ashes and suffering, the Ashen kindles ambitions of a triumphant return to prominence within his spiteful breast.

For more than a thousand years, the dark, burning spire of the Black Fortress has stood sentinel over the crossing place of the River Ruin at the southern edge of the Mountains of Mourn. It is a nightmarish place of soot, blackened iron and jagged rock, and burning magma runs through it like lifeblood. For centuries, the master of this dark demesne and the warriors within it has been Drazhoath the Ashen, a twisted, power-hungry creature and potent Sorcerer. Drazhoath was first sent to the Black Fortress in effective exile after losing favour in the brutal politics of Zharr-Naggrund as a minor hellsmith, but has since risen to become its Lord through his innate cunning and bitter, ruthless ambition.

    Speed x 90%
    Armour-Piercing Weapon Damage x 80%
    Base Weapon Damage x 80%
