Rukúl

Rukúl (Formerly in Draconic:RukúlianzilZaena ) is the tenth god residing in Aethalyn. More accurately, Rukúl owns more of Aethalyn than any other god. His domain includes the Blood Fields as well as the murk of the plane's aether where many unclaimed souls lie. These souls are soon hunted down and brought into his true domain.

Before 1349 YG, Rukúl was the champion night dragon of Zaena, the night goddess. He was the most powerful of all of them, and the most just. Something in the dragon changed though, and he became power hungry. No one is sure of the reasons behind it, but Rukúl killed Zaena. The damage was so catastrophic that a rift opened in the sky, allowing millions of demons to spill forth from the Underworld.

During the subsequent war, each and every night dragon felt the death of their mother and protector, and many killed themselves in shame by diving deep into the sea or crashing into mountaintops. The rest were left to flee from the other enraged dragons. The colored as well as the sun dragons, led by Osma, hunted most of the night dragons down. The goal was to find Rukúl and put an end to the betrayer, yet the quest was in vain. Zaena's death had intitiated his ascension. After the night dragons were deemed extinct, the rest of the dragons cursed Rukúl's name, stripping him from the rest of his title. Instead of being RukúlianzilZaena (Night lord, the dragon of Zaena) he became only Rukúl. Even now, some dragons won't even refer to him as more than "The Eternal Betrayer".

Oddly enough, instead of becoming the night god or even a god of storms, Rukúl became the god of death. This seems quite ironic, though the Black God does not seem to be ashamed of such a title.
