![]() ![]() Thordak claimed to know of a cure (while in reality he knew a way for her to avoid the disease killing her, by becoming a dracolich like Guuthal the Ever-Fed), but refused to share this knowledge with her until she found a way to release him. The ancient green dragon had been cursed by a druid and was slowly dying of a horrific disease. ĭuring his imprisonment in the Elemental Plane of Fire, Thordak was approached by Raishan. Although Allura's group succeeded in trapping Thordak, many lives were lost, including three of Allura's companions: Sirus, Dohla, and Ghenn. The soul anchor crafted from this heart crystal could not be removed from the Elemental Plane of Fire, and Thordak could not escape without the anchor. The heart crystal is an immense gem of pure crystallized ruby and elemental power and energy, fifteen to twenty feet in diameter. To bind him, they crafted an artifact called a " soul anchor" from the salvaged heart crystal of a primordial fire titan. They bound Thordak's essence to the Fountains of Creation and thought he would stay there forever. They devised a trap that could, they believed, permanently seal Thordak within the Elemental Plane of Fire, preventing him from ever returning to Exandria. Knowing they could not kill Thordak, Allura called upon the Arcana Pansophical, a circle of arcane practitioners that agreed to work together across the lands to keep them safe. They encountered resistance from a large number of lizardfolk, but eventually Allura's forces were overcome by the sheer might of the dragon himself. ( Vax'ildan and Vex'ahlia's mother was killed during Thordak's destruction of their hometown, Byroden.) Gathering a small army of mercenaries, Allura's party hunted the creature back to its new den in the Stormcrest Mountains. Allura's party traveled to investigate, but arrived to find this creature destroying everything surrounding the Gladepools, including Port Udall and Byroden. At the time, Lady Allura wasn't a part of the Council of Tal'Dorei she was a member of an adventuring party, much like Vox Machina. Reports of a dragon-more massive than any on record-hit Tal'Dorei. He began razing the Mornset Countryside, south of the Verdant Expanse and the Stormcrest Mountains. After generations of secretly ruling the Island of Viscan, the dragon (now self-crowned as "the Cinder King") grew greedier than the island's limited resources could satisfy. Thordak became interested in Opash's notes and began to make his own additions to them, growing interested in the research into Guuthal the Ever-Fed, an ancient black dragon who evaded death by becoming a dracolich. These experiments made Thordak more powerful and eventually he destroyed the necromancer. Thordak had survived but was near dead from his fight with Devo'ssa when he was captured by the necromancer Opash who experimented on him in his laboratory on the Island of Viscan in the south of the Lucidian Ocean. Rumors of a powerful drake storming the beaches and seas had been whispered for a long time while ships would be lost at sea. Thordak was not seen again for centuries, until about 794 or 795 PD. He was presumed to have died shortly thereafter from his wounds. ![]() Thordak, with his feral armies of kobolds and other serpentine followers, attacked the city of Ank'Harel when it was perhaps 100 or 150 years old, but after a two-week battle, his armies were defeated and Thordak was wounded, and as he fled north over the ocean he was struck down and fell into the sea. Long ago, before maturing into an ancient dragon, Thordak tyrannically lorded over half of the desert continent of Marquet from this base in the Scaldwind Sands. He’s calculating and cunning, having planned far enough ahead to use one of the other dragons, Brimscythe to weaken Emon’s army for the destructive attack with the Chroma Conclave that would come later. Thordak is a greedy and prideful red dragon, one who sees humanity as little more then insects, pests that are beneath his claws. ![]() His hide is covered in dark, armored scales and spines, leading up to the tip of his tail, armed with massive spikes in the shape of some type of club. His long neck flares out ever so lightly thanks to his scales near the base of his head. In the Legend of Vox Machina, Thordak is shown to be a massive, ancient and powerful red dragon with an arrow-shaped head, with four great horns forming into a crown the pair at the top of the head take a spiraling shape as opposed to his other two horns being curved. On closer inspection, Gilmore could see, instead of the uniform scales of a dragon, the heart crystal in his chest, smooth and jagged and pulsing with power. At that time, Thordak had the standard appearance of a red dragon, albeit an incredibly large and ancient one. Vox Machina first saw Thordak in the Elemental Plane of Fire. ![]()
