South of Stormreach, a mass of black clouds forms a permanent blot on the horizon, and dark wings cast long shadows on the forlorn earth. The sky demesne of Kraa’ark Lors is a wondrous citadel in the clouds, hovering atop thunderheads and swirling in dark mists. Also called the Roc King and Lord of the Black Clouds, Kraa’ark is a mighty roc awakened by powerful druid magic of long ago. The roc claims to be immortal, another trait granted to the magical beast by whatever magic awakened its mind.
Kraa’ark Lors sees Stormreach as a blight on the natural wonder of Xen’drik. The roc has long sought to annihilate its populace and reduce the city to so much rubble. So far, Guardians of Rusheme mystics have held the Roc King at bay with rituals and sacrifices. If the city’s relationship with the giants of Rushemé deteriorates, Kraa’ark Lors might bring down calamity upon Stormreach.
