Dragon Rider of Emberhelm
High Warlord of Emberhelm Exile. Survivor. Dragon Rider.
“The storm did not break me. It made me.”
Taranis Stormborne
Born of Storm. Forged by Fire.
Taranis Stormborne was not born to rule. He was born beneath a sky torn open by lightning. Marked by omens the elders feared and prophecies they not control. At just eight years old, he was cast out—exiled for powers no one dared understand.
But exile did not break him. It shaped him.
Exile and the Wild Years
Driven from Emberhelm into the haunted woods of Caernath. The boy who should have died found allies no tribe claim.: the great wolves Boldolph and Morrigan, creatures of fang and flame who walked between spirit and shadow.
From them, Taranis learned the old truths how to hunt, to command silence, to harness the storm within.
The Dragon Bond
Years later, during a blood eclipse at Rykar’s Ridge, Taranis encountered the thunder-dragon Tairneanach, long thought lost to legend. In that moment, lightning met fire. Beast and man did not tame one another they recognized each other.
The storm had chosen its rider.
⚔️ Rise of the Stormborne
He returned not in vengeance, but in purpose. With brothers Drax and Lore at his side.Taranis united the scattered clans of the highlands and led them against the Clawclan invaders. His victory over the warlord Gaedrix at Rykar’s Ridge lit the flame of rebellion—and rebirth.
He became not just a warlord, but a symbol. The exile returned. The prophecy fulfilled.
Who Is He?
Taranis walks a line between fire and mercy. Towering, scarred, and grey-eyed, he speaks little and strikes hard. But beneath the ash lies a deep loyaltyto his people. To the forgotten, and to those who fight for more than conquest.
He is not king by blood. He is leader by choice. And the storm, once his curse, now answers his call.
