Darok Earthweaver had once been a warrior. He had led an army as a War General and tales of his bone-hafted greataxe were legendary, even in the far reaches. He had been Vrikdarok then; Vrikdarok Bloodfist. The Teon'kith had almost grasped a victory that would have been devastating to the Ven and their allied nations, but at the last moment, they had chosen to fortify and hold instead of pushing their advance. The Bloodfist army disbanded. Vrikdarok vanished, for a time, and eventually reappeared as Darok Earthweaver. No longer a War General, and not a blood mage either. Something else entirely; the only Teon'kith with blue eyes.
