Kragg

Lore & Background

Kragg is a member of the Wallbuilders, a group tasked with maintaining the Rock Wall that surrounds the Aetherian Forest. In the story of Rivals of Aether, Kragg encounters Wrastor and Bradshaw from the Air Armada while they are on a scouting mission. They spot a giant breach in the Rock Wall and descend to investigate. Kragg attacks them, assuming they are there to exploit the wall's weakness. During the fight, Kragg manages to severely injure Bradshaw due to Wrastor's carelessness, forcing the two to retreat as Wrastor swears vengeance. After the battle, Kragg is attacked by a figure resembling Maypul. He initially believes the Wallbuilders have been betrayed by the forest-dwellers, but Mayreed arrives to confirm this Maypul is an imposter. She sends Kragg to track down the real Maypul, unaware that he is being followed by Wrastor. Kragg eventually converges with the other warriors at a crater in the center of Aether, where they discover a stone structure leading to an abyss from which shadow creatures emerge. The warriors put their rivalries aside and battle together to vanquish the shadow creatures. After emerging victorious, Kragg makes amends with the others and agrees to prepare should the shadow creatures ever return.

In Their Own Story

While on a scouting mission for the Air Armada, wingmen Wrastor and Bradshaw spot a giant breach in the Rock Wall surrounding the Aetherian Forest and descend to investigate. However, they are attacked by Kragg, one of the Wallbuilders tasked with maintaining the Rock Wall, who assumes they are there to exploit its weakness. Kragg manages to severely injure Bradshaw due to Wrastor's carelessness, forcing the two to retreat as Wrastor swears vengeance. Kragg is then attacked by a figure resembling Maypul. Kragg initially believes the Wallbuilders have been betrayed by the forest-dwellers, but Mayreed arrives to confirm this Maypul is an imposter. She sends Kragg to track down the real Maypul, unaware that he is being followed by Wrastor. The six eventually converge at a crater in the center of Aether. Before they can attack one another, a stone structure emerges from the crater, leading to an abyss below the ground from which more shadows emerge. Realizing this to be the source of the imposters and the forest's sickness, the warriors put their rivalries aside and battle together to vanquish the shadow creatures. Emerging victorious, the six make amends with one another and agree to prepare themselves should the shadow creatures ever return.
