Silgaur

Silgaur was a massive red dragon who could breathe fire. He is the only dragon in the history of Ingtandel to become a king of man; after devestating the kingdom of Ciryatan, the Cirtinese king asked for the lives of his people in return for his throne. Silgaur accepted; in the many years that followed, death, destruction, suffering and strife plagued Ciryatan, until Silgaur mistakenly tresspassed onto the territory of another dragon, Lorngnin, who challenged Silgaur's leadership after the red dragon stole prey from his hunting grounds. The two dragons fought for many days, but both died from the wounds they inflicted upon each other. After Silgaur's death, a new Cirtinese king rose to the throne, proclaiming that all dragons were to be reviled and hated for their crimes against man. Very few dragons in history displayed the wanton cruelty of Silgaur, but his actions would govern the opinions and fears of man for many hundreds of years to come.
