About Dakkragg Kellid

Dakkragg wandered into Thornkeep, feral and vicious, at a mere eight years old. His green skin - so dark as to be nearly black - and unkepmt black hair signified him as a junglekin, though without indication whether the clan that abandoned him resided in Echo Wood or elsewhere. No family, themselves refugees from the Mosswood Massacre, bothered to take him in, and the various vagabonds and adventurers filtering in and out of the town would often antagonize him. He learned quickly that kratocracy - might makes right - is the way of the world and understood that he was not yet strong enough to matter. With that revelation, as suddenly as he had wandered in, he left, disappearing back into the Echo Wood.

After leaving Thornkeep, Dakkragg embraced the primal energies of the wilderness, letting his rage fuel and protect him while fighting against the goblins, trolls, and other monstrosities residing in the Echo Wood. As he grew older, Dakkragg sought out the clan of his birth, returning to the location where he remembered them residing, and eventually chasing them into Numeria.

Dakkragg forced himself to be patient. He waited until his siblings and father wandered out of the protection of the clan site, and ambushed them. Hamstringing his father - the largest and strongest of the group - the surprise attack allowed Dakkragg to decapitate one of his siblings before the other two fully registered his presence. The fight after that was entirely one sided. With his kin dead or dying, Dakkragg walked back to his father and plunged his axe into his father's head, and taking his father's Masterwork Greataxe as a trophy.

A small hunting party of Kellid barbarians found Dakkragg alone, surrounded by the fresh corpses of four full-blooded orcs. Impressed by the feat from one who was easily half the size of any of the dead orcs, and younger besides, the hunters invited Dakkragg to follow them back to their tribehold. Kellid barbarians taught Dakkragg how to harness the primal energy within him at will and also how to protect himself from the arcane forces used by the Technic Mages of nearby Starfall. Dakkragg has taken the second name of Kellid as a tribute to the only people who have ever treated him as an equal.

Now Dakkragg has returned to the River Kingdoms, remembering the insult to his honor received in Thornkeep. If Power rules the Echo Wood, then Power is what he will obtain.
