Velrath, the ancient dragon, was a creature of legend whose name whispered fear and awe across the realms. His scales, once a vibrant obsidian, now bore the scars and cracks of countless battles, reflecting the passage of centuries. His eyes, deep pools of molten gold, seemed to pierce the very soul of those who dared to meet his gaze. Velrath's massive wings, though tattered at the edges, could still cast shadows over entire villages, and his breath, a searing torrent of flame and shadow, was said to be capable of reducing mountains to ash.

Born in the fiery depths of the world, Velrath sought dominion over all living beings, a desire fueled by the ancient magic coursing through his veins. His ambition was thwarted by the united efforts of the races of the land, who banded together under the banner of the Dragon Slayers. Despite his power, Velrath found himself constantly on the run, his once vast empire crumbling under the relentless assaults of his enemies.

In his twilight years, Velrath devised a plan to unleash a cataclysm that would reshape the world in his image. He gathered the remnants of his loyal followers and orchestrated a series of devastating attacks on key strongholds of his adversaries. His strategy was cunning, exploiting the weaknesses and fears of his enemies, and for a time, it seemed as though he might succeed.

However, the unity of the Dragon Slayers proved too strong. In a final, epic confrontation atop the highest peak of the world, Velrath faced the leaders of the alliance. The battle was fierce, the sky itself torn asunder by the clash of dragon and mortal. In the end, Velrath's body, riddled with wounds, plummeted from the sky, crashing into the mountainside with a force that shook the earth.

Velrath's life was marked by constant conflict, not only with those who sought to end his reign but also within himself, as he grappled with the realization that his time was drawing to a close. His unique trait was his haunting, melodic voice, which he used to both command and terrify, echoing the sorrow of his impending doom.
