However the thirsting weapon took more from Draugnir than he gave, and the fate of Draugnir's line was forever tied to that of the Elves. Legend holds that Draugnir used his fires to heat the forge of the Elven smith-God Vaul as he forged the Widowmaker (The Sword of Khaine). The second "Father of Dragons" is Draugnir. Another figure referred to in a similar manner is Urmskaladrak, who may in fact be the same as Kalgalanos. Dwarf legends tell how Kalgalanos the Black was an enemy of the Dwarfs, and was slain by Grimnir, one of their Ancestor Gods, in the ancient past. The first is Kalgalanos the Black, who is supposedly the ancestor of the entire dragon race. There are two, perhaps three figures referred to as the "Father of Dragons". Indeed it seems the Elves have a great affinity for the race of Dragons, in contrast to the Dwarfs who are instead famous for despising and slaying the creatures who they call Drakk. These include High Elf Princes, Dark Elf Nobles, Dragon Mages, Chaos Lords and the Glade Lords of the Wood Elves. However some worthy champions are still able to ride a dragon into war. The Dragon Princes now ride sturdy Elven warhorses. However due to the fading and slumber of the dragons, those days are long past. In the past, the Dragon Princes of Caledor each rode a dragon into battle, making them an extremely formiddable force. Even the least powerful dragons are quite capable of crushing entire armies, and of setting fleets and cites aflame. (See the section on Sleep below.)ĭragons are greatly feared on the battlefield. Most of the remaining dragons have taken refuge in distant mountains and caverns beneath the Earth, where they spend their time in deep slumber and dream of days long past.
In addition the Blood Dragon Vampires hunt Dragons, desperately seeking an end to their curse by drinking dragon blood. Many of them have been hunted down and killed by adventurous humans or Dwarfs. In this, they are akin to Dragon Ogres and other primeval creatures that have existed since the dawn of time.Īlas, the days of dragons are slowly fading.
The Dragons are ancient creatures who roamed the skies of the frigid Warhammer World long before the Old Ones arrived.
