Krayhan

"In the beginning, we were beasts until Krayhan flew from the heavens. When atop that mountain he roared, He took off to the skies and soared. Heard his loud call we Dhragolon did, and thus his faithful word we spread."

- From the hymnal Story of Rauch

Krayhan is one of the oldest and strongest of Titans. He is regarded as the one who brought wisdom to the various races across the galaxy. The most notable of them is the Dhragolon.

According to legend, when Ucharpli had no sentient species, Krayhan appeared from the heavens and perched atop a tall mountain, gazing upon the ignorant creatures below. Realizing that they had much more potential, Krayhan bestowed a roar of wisdom and promptly took off into horizon as the sun began rising. Moments later, the Dhragolon heeded that wisdom and gained intelligence which would eventually propogate civilization over the course of the next many thousand years.

Appearance
In the mortal realm, he takes the form of a great, blue dragon with two wings and two legs. While in dragon form, Krayhan can breathe fire and bestow wisdom to lesser creatures with a "roar of wisdom". His principle teachings include that the universe must remain balanced. While he would rather prefer it to run on its own, he will interfere if the balance is upset.

Personality
"Good and evil. They both exist for a reason, do they not? Krayhan would have not allowed it in the first place if he forebade it, no? But the decision is yours. What you do to fight this evil is up to your people whether it be through peace or through force."

Krayhan often speaks in metaphors, and his words are often very ambiguous. His followers are left to interpret what Krayhan's exact meanings are. Some claim that both evil and good must exist to balance, while others argue that evil should be cleansed. Krayhan, however, has established that the universe is meant to exist forever, and he will do anything he can to prevent its destruction. Krayhan used to have his own personal servant, the mischievious Uszaroth. However, since Uszaroth sought to unbalance the universe just for pleasure, Krayhan removed him from his advisor position. Later, after a war with the Jamzezists, Uszaroth was imprisoned in Alk'charis for thousands of years.

Usually, Krayhan dwells in a small dimension consisting only of a blue sky with clouds with no ground below. It is directly adjacent to Himinngarde, the afterlife of the Dhragolon.

History
The Dhragolon are largely unaware of what Krayhan did before Ucharpli was created as they simply regard him as an everlasting deity. However, some of Krayhan's past is explained by the Khathics, who refer to him as "Levenslang".

According to the Khathics, long before the universe existed, there was another one which the god of destruction, Vernietigen, had devoured. The rest of the gods were shocked at Vernietigen's actions and grieved over the loss of their creations. When another universe spawned, Vernietigen tried to destroy that one as well, but Krayhan and the other gods of the Khathic pantheon worked together to imprison Vernietigen inside a giant stone sphere many times bigger than Ucharpli itself.
