Background

"Some call us murderers, some slayers of giants, some heroes and some guardians - In truth, we are Wyrmhunters."
- Kadrako Thrice-Ironforged, Warlord of the Wyrmhunter Clan

The Wyrmhunter Clan (Or simply Wyrmhunter or Wyrmhunters) is a faction of dragon slayers who originated from the wastelands of Grukoor, the origins of the clan date back to Iwakhaya, a secluded Enkhulu village in the borderlands of the Urol Empire where the locals lived close with the Wyverns that nested nearby, Dragon and Man finding unity in the unique kinship they shared with one another. As a tradition held for generations in Iwakhaya, an Ekhulu youth would seek out and befriend a Wyvern hatchling and become each other's closest ally for life - "Issika".

All of this would mysteriously change one day as a flight of Wyverns rose from the peak shadowing the village and led an attack on Iwakhaya, razing the village to ash and slaughtering all who came in their way. The attack would be fierce and quick, leaving only a handful of survivors to rise from the ash when the dragons had left to tell the tale. It would be then that Azisa, once a huntsman for the village, rallied the survivors together and formed a vow with them to seek their revenge. They would become wandering hunters of the Wyvern and call themselves Iwakhaya, in memory of their lost home, but when the old and withered Azisa's hunt for those responsible for the attack never bore fruit, it would be Kwanele of the Bloodied that forcefully took reign over their group, renaming themselves Wyrmhunters and redoubling their efforts under a new banner that sowed terror into the hearts of Dragons everywhere - using the red scales of Matriarch Vrathabrum, a legendary Wyvern of their time, and several fangs of Nyamikub'wa, Kwanele crafted the Banner of the Wyrmhunters and would personally carry it upon her back into battle.

Since the age of Kwanele, the Wyrmhunter Clan has grown into a formidable force of reckoning. Most notable is the rule of Kadrako Thrice-Ironforged, the current Warlord of the Wyrmhunters, who has shown himself as a formidable threat using a weapon with which he may take direct control of the dragons he attacks.
