Destiny's Edge breaks against Kralkatorrik
The hero-guild Destiny's Edge confronts the waking Kralkatorrik alongside Glint, but the plan collapses: Glint and the asura Snaff are slain, the dragon escapes, and the embittered guild disbands.
Formed in 1319 AE from two adventuring bands to slay Jormag's champion the Dragonspawn, Destiny's Edge — Eir Stegalkin, Snaff, Zojja, Caithe, Logan Thackeray, and Rytlock Brimstone — set out to kill the newly woken Kralkatorrik. The plan hinged on Glint placing a dragon-blood yoke on the Elder Dragon so that the genius Snaff could mentally seize control of it.
The attempt unravelled. Logan abandoned the fight to protect Queen Jennah, leaving the guild undermanned; the Branded overwhelmed and killed Snaff, and Rytlock's Dragonsblood Spear failed to fell the dragon. Glint sacrificed herself to set the yoke but was killed by Kralkatorrik's bite, and the wounded dragon escaped, leaving only crystallized blood that Caithe gathered. Bitter at the defeat, disillusioned by Logan's departure, and grieving Snaff, the heroes of Destiny's Edge went their separate ways.
