Hellbleaker

Hellbleaker

Hellbleaker if of the Gral Wahliik blood-line, which makes him a descendant of Tiamat. His first grandfather was Balta'khar, a dragon born of Tiamats Clutch. Another notable ancestor of Hellbleaker is Ahnutrix. She was one of the Reds of Kilth that brought down the city-state of Felak and others in the Kilth Deeps War.

In 799, Hellbleaker and his army of fire giants attacked the city-state Orias Vual. The city's population, nearly all firenewts, having grown lazy with riches and opulence were militarily unprepared for the attack. In the past, chests spilling over with gold and gems were enough to keep enemies at baby, but not Hellbleaker. He was bent on taking all of what Varelay had and more. Over a period of fifty years Hellbleaker and his arm of fiery brutes had taken three other city-states - two underground and one on the surface. In addition to taking this great city of the Varelay, they captured a population of firenewts numbering in the tens of thousands. Nearly all of them found themselves in chains and sent off on projects to rebuild what would soon be a new empire.

In 832, Hellbleaker absorbed the vassal state of Orias Vaul and others into the Goth-Dyvermoir empire.

In 1456, the Crusaders of Surtur, an army of fire giants and Sons of Mughakh-Gol, descended upon Orias Vaul. The force was so large that the keys to the city were turned over to the besieging army. Hellbleaker abdicated by fleeing underground. He took most of his huge treasure hoard and an entourage seeking to rebuild the church of Huhueteotl. Many of these acolytes of a dead god were killed by troops of Aebilchunus or others, or became lost in the lava tubes of Sephu'phis.

Hellbleaker has never been seen or heard of after his descent into the Lava Mazes. Some suspect he either went deep in the Underdark or flew along the Earth Seam to some other area of the realm.
