Valakar

Valakar, called the Dragon of Mortenox, is a sorcerer in his early twenties and a member of the Warmongers of Vansreik. He is counted among the wielders of dark powers, and is described as a pragmatist, a user of dark magic and passionate.¹

Early life

Valakar grew up in the farmlands around the Crater of Mortenox. When he was sixteen his powers began to bloom, and the change drew many frightened and suspicious eyes to him. He fled to the city, meaning to join a mercenary group and put his new powers to use. In the years that followed, he and his party of friends became one of the most prominent adventuring groups in Vansreik.²

The black dragon

Valakar and his companions fought against an army of goblins led by an adult black dragon. After a long battle against the huge beast they killed it. The dragon nearly crushed Valakar as it fell, but he was lucky enough to be caught between a broken tree trunk and one of its wings. His skin soaked up the dragon's magical blood, which amplified his powers and gave him gifts of his own; he is now infused with draconic magic.³

For saving the Western Provinces from the goblinoid threat, Valakar and his friends of The Action Company, as this elite group of Warmongers is called, were awarded the relics of Vansreik by Matheo, head priest of the Church of Shamyaza. The Church of Vansreik blessed him for his part in keeping the city from falling into the hands of the goblinoids. Among his possessions is the Claw of Vansreik.³

Valakar works only with the Action Company.²

In battle

Valakar casts devastating spells that strike wide areas, and he wields corrosive acid magic like an expert evoker. Against large numbers he opens with such spells, and he turns his strongest single-target magic on the most important foes. The drawback of his arcane prowess is that he has few non-lethal options: whenever Valakar joins a fight, the casualties are high.²
