Kraken Titan
Origins
In the ancient, undulating depths of the world, where the ocean’s heart beats with a rhythm older than time, lies the genesis of the Kraken Titans. It is said that during the epoch of creation, when the land and sea were still entwined in their primordial dance, the deity of the deep, Thalassar, summoned forth the Kraken Titans. These beings, colossal and wise, were born from the ocean's most secretive cradle, a place where light dares not linger and the water whispers of the world’s oldest secrets.
History
The history of the Kraken Titans is as vast as the ocean they hail from. In the earliest days, their colossal forms glided through the abyssal waters, nurturing the life that bloomed in their wake and guarding the secrets that slumbered in the ocean’s darkest recesses. However, their purpose evolved with the emergence of Alavir, the land of splendor, where civilizations thrived under the sun.
Bonds
The Kraken Titans felt the tremors of discord as terrestrial beings vied for dominion, oblivious to the ancient darkness that stirred in the ocean's uncharted depths. Access to Verna by land dwellers is a closely guarded secret, known only to the highest echelons of Alavir’s rulers. In a secluded chamber, veiled from prying eyes, lies the portal to Verna. Its swirling depths reflect the ocean’s vastness, a gateway for those who dare to embrace the ocean’s call.
Role in Alavir
Recognizing the need for guardians against these encroaching shadows, the Kraken Titans, under the guidance of Thalassar, founded Verna, a city of shimmering spires and bioluminescent streets, hidden within the ocean’s embrace. Verna became a sanctuary for the Titans and a bastion against the darkness. Here, they trained in the arcane arts and martial prowess, their strength intertwined with the ocean’s timeless might.
