Darkan

To see information on the Sin of Greed, see The Sins page.

A large dragon rivaling the most ancient of their kind, Darkan is the ruler of the city of Avarast. Drawing power from the city and his worshippers within and relationship to the sin of Greed, the dragon possesses the powers of a demigod while within its walls, and is able to grant spells and even domain powers to clerics who may follow them.

Background
Speculated to be nearly as old as the start of recorded history, small tales and writings depict the general nuisance of Darkan and their brother Kohvar during the strife of the sins First Rising. The two dragons conquest was stalled at the Sins defeat and came back with a vengeance at the start of the Second Rising, using the chaos as an opportunity to amass large amounts of wealth. Upon Greed's fall in the year of 605, Darkan sequestered themselves within the Sin's vault away from Kohvar, emerging two years later after having undergone a similar transformation to that of the sin of Greed themselves. Molten gold warping around their scales, their frame of mind seemed to shift into pure malevolent chaos as their raids became more daring and destructive. Darkan was slain within the year by the Heroes of Bucolic, enraging their brother and inciting further destruction until their retreat into the Herma mountain range north of Charon.

The Darkan of today was revived as the likeness of their younger self in the winter of the year 961 from the magic of the Crystal Castle, with an uncanny insight and desire to relive their conquest during the First Rising. Striking key villages and amassing a hoard yet again, their growth was expedited with their status returned to the glory of his prime within the season. During these raids, Griniek the Serrated Scholar was also revived and aided in the dragons accumulation of wealth further accelerating their growth until they were at their prime before having become the Sin of Greed.

After making a deal with the heroes from Charon, Karena, Câlina, Urtar and Szandis, Darkan spared the village of Nepryea from inciting the eruption of mount Pontiff and picking what little wealth they had from the ashes. In exchange for the reward that the Adventurer's Guild in Charon would have given them, Darkan offered each of them a tome containing written triumphs from his past each containing a blessing to an attribute desirable to the holder.
