Sonngrand

"Steel and wood are weak -- only the scale survives!" - Sonngrand taunts a group of Pallanaise airships.



At a Glance
Champion of the Black Dragons of Bahamut, Sonngrand was also known as the "Living Mountain", "The Unbeatable" and "The Black Steel". Through eons of wandering the most dangerous storms of The Astral Sea, Sonngrand's scales adapted to have a nigh-impervious strength, causing many opponents to lose morale upon seeing their assaults glance off the thick armor.

Blue Skies...
Sonngrand was one of the many Dragons who launched a defence against the Sunshine Offensive during their incursion into the Astral Sea.

Idiots, Dreamers, and Dragons
While the Fey-kin of Pallanaise celebrated the return of war-hero Euris Testidar's, Sonngrand burnt the neighboring watchtower of Rasgilith as compenscence for the murder of his deity-father. Despite this attack and believing themselves champions of their war with dragons, Pallanaise recalled it's nations airships from outlying regions and outposts to begin a week-long festivity to honour the Sunshine Offensive.

The Fey-republic's festivities would be short-lived as Sonngrand soon appeared with the might of the remaining broods. Scouring 3/4 of the Pallanaise fleet from the sky and razing several block, Sonngrand's assault was one of occupation, rather than a cut-and-burn skirmish. Taking possession of the military district and destroying the airfield, Sonngrand engaged in a highly destructive occupation of Pallanaise while his broods staged arial strikes on the remaining neighborhoods.

Despite this ocuppation, heroes emerged to oppose Sonngrand but quickly found themselves pushed back to regroup against the powerful Dragon. Sonngrand stood atop the rubble of Euris Testidar's home, challenging the Fey-kin to take it back from his talons.

While he attempted to rally heroes to his aide to defeat Sonngrand, Euris' own honor-guard were convinced to turn on their master by one of his former lieutenants, Janus. Binding Euris, Janus and Fortune's Triad turned Euris over to Sonngrand who pierced the Eladrin's spine, crippling his spinal column, before dragging him into dragonfire and a slow agonizing death.

With Euris dead, Sonngrand and the rest of the Dragons abandoned Pallanaise for the many homes of Drak.
