Candle Dragon

Biodata

Background / History

Candle Dragon is an ancient and powerful being of the Primordial World, burdened by the heavy karma accumulated by the Dragon Clan during the Dragon-Han Calamity 32. Despite his immense power, he initially felt trapped by this karma, which hindered his cultivation and prevented him from advancing 32.

Following a strategic discussion with Di Jiang, Candle Dragon was inspired to unite the myriad races of the Primordial World to establish a new tribe, thereby earning merit to cleanse his clan's karma 33 41. He successfully united the Dragon, Qilin, and Phoenix tribes and established the Demon Clan 41 46.
