Drorkol the Behemoth

Every Anakim knows the lands to the north are filled with dragons. They know because in the old world the dragons would fly south once a year to trade with the Anakim. It was a good relationship until a young dragon named Abazu decided simply trading with the Anakim wasn't enough. He rallied the dragons together and the next time the dragons came they came as an army. The dragon army ravaged the Anak, killing or enslaving all in their wake and taking all the Anak riches.

When the dragon army reached the Bottomless Basin, which then had no name as was little more than a pond, one Anakim stood in their way. Drorkol stood at the edge of the water. The leader of the dragons, Abazu, was impressed by this small Anak's courage and approached him. Drorkol challenged Abazu to a contest of height. If Drorkol was taller, Abazu would have to take his army back to the north and never return. The dragons laughed at the boy and Abazu agreed, for Abazu was the largest of all the dragons in his army, even for his age.

However, when Drorkol turned his back to Abazu to test their heights Drorkol began to grow. He grew until he was as tall as Abazu and still continued to get taller. The dragons watched in terror as Drorkol continued to grow until his ears scraped the sky and his shoulders disappeared into the clouds. Loathe to lose, Abazu ordered his dragon army to attack. Drorkol swatted at the dragons like flies, smashing hundreds with fists the size of a mountain. Drorkol's right foot sank into the ground creating the Bottomless Basin and his left foot broke the earth creating Dawn Tide's Lake.

Despite his large size, the dragon army was overwhelming. Seeing that his end was at hand, Drorkol threw himself down on the dragon army. The dragons were scattered and Drorkol perished upon the earth, his body forming the mountains which guard the Anakim and other peoples from the monsters in the north. Since Drorkol's sacrifice the dragons have never again threatened war with the Anakim.
