Kenderax

Kenderax was one of the first children of Invernix and Sartoria. As a grandson of Typhon and Echidna, Kenderax was blessed with fire breath, impervious scale armor, and a prodigious arrogance.

Kenderax wished to conquer and reign over the people of Cimmeria. The dragon monarchs waited for Sadroston‘s death, but Kenderax was not so patient. He sowed his teeth to form an army of kobolds and then used his soldiers to conquer a kingdom. Kenderax attacked the dwarven city of Fangaroot. King Karnafaust of the Dwarves was incinerated by Kenderax and the dwarven people fled the city. The red dragon remained to rule over his kobold subjects and whatever slaves were brought before him.

Kenderax was content with this life for more than a century. He assisted his parents in conquering Cimmeria, specifically the Northern Terror Mountains where Invernix and Sartoria set up their realm. After the initial conquest of Cimmeria, Kenderax was able to relax and oppress his subjects in peace for many years.

Kenderax’s simple life of evil was interrupted by Shaelin for the dwarf lord had sworn an oath to avenge his brethren who perished during Kenderax’s invasion of Fangaroot. After being released from his oath of peace by King Cogard, Shaelin organized an army to retake Fangaroot. The dwarves invaded with their allies. Shaelin led a strikeforce straight to Kenderax. The dwarven paladin and the red dragon killed each other in the combat. Kenderax’s kobolds proved victorious in the broader conflict and repelled Shaelin’s army. Kenderax lay dead, but Fangaroot remained in draconic claws.

Kenderax left a legacy of death and destruction. His execution was one of the instigating events of the Dragon War. Fangaroot remained infested with kobolds for several more centuries. Eventually Balin and Terry rooted the kobolds out to reclaim the city under its new name, Balin’s Holt.

Welcome to the GoCorral website! I’m Isaac Shaker and this is a place for me to write about D&D and occasionally other topics. I host a podcast called Setting the Stage that interviews different DMs about their campaigns. I’m currently focused on completing the Cimmeria campaign setting and turning it into a book.

Setting the Stage Podcast

71 – Aaron Ryan and Dissonance/The End Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

I talked with Aaron Ryan about two of his book series, Dissonance and The End.Dissonance is a near future world where aliens have attacked, killing most humans and animals on Earth and driving humans into hiding underground. Humans finally develop technology to fight back and the war enters a new stage while the characters also struggle to determine the motivation for the alien invasion and nefarious actions of the government.The End is a Christian End Time series based loosely on the events described in Revelations. A man calling himself Nero has risen to rule over the world and he has outlawed Christianity. Robots called Guardians hunt Christians throughout the world, murdering them on the spot if they don't recant their faith. A resistance movement works in the shadows against Nero, but things aren't looking good for them.We talked about the basics of those settings along with how they could be adapted for RPG campaign settings. My main recommendations were Ashes Without Number, Spire, and Blades in the Dark.If you're interested in reading Aaron's books you can find them at most any bookstore or library. Both of the series are also being adapted into movies, but aren't publicly available yet. Aaron's website is https://authoraaronryan.com/ for the latest updates on his work. Next up for Aaron is the Talisman series that covers events within the "Aaronverse" in the decades between Dissonance and The End.Our website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
