Seshethkunaaz's History
The Path of the Wasteland has aspects of earth and wind, and its techniques take the form of blowing golden sand. It is a versatile and adaptable Path, often used to call sandstorms, form complex shapes from sand at great distances, and scour flesh from bone.
Gold dragons have a natural affinity for fire and water aura, but Seshethkunaaz was born in the desert. An exile, he was left by the rest of his kind to die. He was found by a group of human nomads, who saved the dying dragon and raised him as part of their family. He formed a contract with one of their children, providing him with enough pure madra to dilute his spirit. With time and great effort, he was able to change the nature of his madra and embark on the Path of the Wasteland. He and his contractor were raised as brothers, and they advanced together at great speed. When he reached Underlord, he took on a human form like that of his contractor. His adoptive parents shortened his name to Sesh, introducing the two of them as twin brothers, and explaining Sesh’s remaining draconic traits as part of his Goldsign.
For years, they remained content. Until Sesh’s brother killed a child. In a conflict between hot-tempered boys, Sesh’s young contractor lost his temper. He struck a Lowgold, forgetting his strength as an Underlord. His victim perished instantly. In many lands, an Underlord would not be held responsible for any actions against a Gold. But the laws of this nation prohibited the murder of anyone regardless of advancement, and the young victim was the descendant of a powerful clan.
Sesh’s family fled in the night, but they were soon caught. Sesh’s brother was executed for murder, reckless use of power, and fleeing justice. To this day, the King of Dragons walks the desert in the form of a human boy, hair dark and skin tanned by the sun, wrapped in a cloak against the harsh wind. He admires humans, but hates human civilization, that collection of unnatural rules under which the weak are favored above the strong. If power and survival were the only laws, he believes all would benefit. Even humans.
After his descendant Ekeri's failure in Ghostwater, Seshethkunaaz was greatly annoyed, and proceeded to provide his champion, Sophara, with as many resources as he dared in an attempt to win the Uncrowned King Tournament.
Seshethkunaaz is considered one of, if not the, strongest Monarch of his era, stronger than the likes of Northstrider and Akura Malice. During the Uncrowned King Tournament, he was bound by an oath to remain within Ninecloud City alongside Northstrider, Malice, and Reigan Shen to keep them from personally participating in their war during the Tournament. As soon as the Tournament ended, with Yerin victorious, the four Monarchs engaged in battle, and Seshethkunaaz was slain by Yerin's use of Penance. His body was then collected by Northstrider.
