Ruinis Durran
75
(Knight of Harbinger)
THE ENTERNAL EMBERLORD
Born from a powerful Crimson Dragon Lord and a High Priestess of the Arcane, Ruinis Durran was a child never meant to exist. His birth broke sacred law — the union of divine flame and mortal magic. The moment he drew breath, storms of mana tore across the empire. His mother died from mana exhaustion, her body burned by the power she helped create. Wracked with guilt, his dragon father abandoned the world of men, leaving the infant Ruinis under the care of the Empire’s Flamekeeper, while his mother’s noble fortune secured his survival.When the empire discovered the child’s existence, the Captain Commander Varkas demanded his death, believing a half-dragon could one day become a threat greater than any army. But the Grand Duke stood against him — a decision that shattered their brotherhood forever. That rift between them still lingers, a silent scar in imperial history.Instead of execution, the boy was entrusted to the Chancellor, the Archmage himself, who trained him in secrecy. Even as a child, Ruinis’s mana was overwhelming — wild, pure, and terrifying. During his first lesson, the Chancellor nearly suffered a permanent injury while suppressing the boy’s untamed energy. Yet from that chaos, Ruinis learned control. The Chancellor later remarked, “He is not a beast of destruction, but the form of balance unlearned.”As Ruinis matured, he mastered both life-giving flame and death-born magic, sealing the crimson inferno within himself through sheer will. His title, The Eternal Emberlord, was not a gift — it was the price of restraint. He became both warden and weapon, the living embodiment of balance between mortal and divine.Despite his power, he chose a life of solitude — not to rule, but to guard magic from abuse. His obsidian citadel still hums with the breath of dragons, the slumbering heart of a being who once almost burned the world by existing.
