Centuries on the mainland, 1,500 years in exile, and now living in Northberry for the past ten years. For over a thousand years spent in exile, he wandered alone.

His reappearance comes at the time that the races of the Oblengartes are on the brink of an all-out war with one another, and the return of Prince Drakan only marks the beginning of their end.
