Appearance: Tall, forest green/grayish with golden flecks on his scales. He is a bipedal dragon. He wears a black fleece as robe and it is decorated with golden Shuriman symbols. His arms, legs, and part of his face are visible beneath the fleece
Background: Kreshmiel was an ancient dragon well-known across the lands. Kreshmiel was one of the last of powerful class of dragons known as the Doth. Kreshmiel's longevity was credited with his one vice: eating gold. He was obsessed with the precious metal. His urges would lead him to burn kingdoms and invade mines to gather it. His conquest led him to the great kingdom of Shurima.
Kreshmiel had heard tales of the great, golden empire and it's vast treasures. The dragon descended upon the Royal Palace in a blaze of destruction. His flames set buildings on fire and burned soldiers that attacked him. Kreshmiel's rampage engulfed the Palace into chaos. His amazing regenerative abilities made him almost impervious to weaponry and magical wounds.
It almost seemed that Kreshmiel's hunger would destroy the Royal Palace. At the behest of the emperor, the Grand Vizier, Malik, concocted a plan to stop the dragon's path of destruction. Malik confronted the beast and proposed a deal with the beast. Malik offered him all the gold in the Royal Vault in exchanged for him to show mercy to Shurima. The old dragon accepted the offer, though he still planned to destroy the kingdom if it suited him.
Malik and the emperor lead the dragon to the doors of the Royal Vault which held the greatest golden treasures of the empire. The ancient drake leapt into the vast pit of gold, gorging himself on the golden treasures. The emperor stood by expressionless as Kreshmiel devoured his family's legacy. The dragon having filled his belly turned to the entrance of the pit and walked menancingly towards the emperor. "Now that I've had my fill, I shall burn this place to ash and claim these prizes as my own", bellowed Kreshmiel.
As he attempted to attack the emperor he was pushed back by what felt to be an invisble wall. "What trickery is this", roared Kreshmiel. The emperor with a stone-like expression exclaimed", If it is gold you desire than you shall have it, however, your desire shall be your prison from here on. This is your crypt to keep for all eternity." Kreshmiel roared, letting loose a torrent of flames that harmlessly halted at the vault's entrance. As the vault doors closed, Kreshmiel bellowed," Mark my words, human: you will pay for this! No matter how long I must wait, I will burn you and your kingdom to the ground. This I swear on the name of Kresh!"
Quick Lore: Kresh is a powerful dragon of old who was imprisoned after he tried to claim the royal treasures of Shurima. After the fall of Shurima, Kresh lay imprisoned in the Royal Vault for centuries. He found that feasting on gold extended his dragon life expectancy to near immortality. Kresh was kept there because of a powerful enchantment that Shuriman mages placed on the vault. This curse made it so that no gold could be taken from the vault unless by Royal hands. However, all the time he spent there began to imbue him with power of the curse and weakened his prison. Now that Shurima has risen again, the curse has been broken and Kresh is free once again. His hunger for gold is only matched by his hunger for vengeance against his imprisoner, Azir.
"I will make you all shine. Frozen in time by golden flames."
