Fiction:The Firmament/Skuumuraveth

"Find that dragon. Slay that dragon. Bring me its head!!"

- Thalmur Krumthrun, Lord of Kharaz-Thalmur, upon discovering Skuumuraveth's existence

Skuumuraveth is a damned wyrm who haunts the mountain ranges of Grungirnur. Summoned into the region by accident, the demonic dragon now leads an army of kobolds in an attempt to usurp the land from its duergar overlords.

History
Little is known of Skuumuraveth's past. He hails from the realm of Irkalla like all others of his kind.

The dragon's arrival in Grungirnur happened due to a summoning mishap performed by bold duergar sorcerers; the dark dwarves are no strangers to summoning lesser fiends to enslave them or steal their power, but the incantation performed on this fateful day was overloaded and resulted in the summoning of a much greater creature, a damned wyrm. As he arrived to the material plane, Skuumuraveth immediately slaughtered his summoners when they attempted to control him and fled through the subterranean tunnels until he was far out of their reach.

Skuumuraveth's presence attracted the mountain's large population of kobolds, and the wyrm soon begun gathering them, turning them into servants with the promise of toppling the duergars who had enslaved their kind for so long. In the current day, Skuumuraveth's forces grow, and his kobolds are becoming increasingly corrupted by his demonic presence, gaining more and more power with each passing generation; duergar officials consider this a full-scale slave revolt, though they are still unable to locate the damned wyrm and confront him.

Features
Skuumuraveth is a typical member of his kind, a demonic dragon with charred red scales, twisted claws and horns, and immense wings. His massive size shows that he is a dragon who is well over the age of maturity.

At first enraged by his sudden arrival to the mortal world, Skuumuraveth now takes immense delight in tormenting the duergars and seeks to use his legion of kobolds to topple them and take over their empire. Once that is done, he aims to wage full-scale war on the rest of Dryadala and turn his kobold followers into full-blown demons.
