Prophet Skyrtyrk, The Mad

Skartyrk is a feared Aqir prophet serving at the beckoned call of the old god N'Zoth and his legions.

The Black Empire's Downfall
Born, as are all members of its species, destined to fulfill a specific task, Skartyrk hatched from a brood of sorcerers and prophets.

From early It showed brilliant aptitude for the channeling of the void energies and even higher aptitude into mind controlling. Such qualities, ever important in the Hive, made that he would be designated to oversee and care for the Broods, controlling and stimulating the eggs and larvae into growing faster and stronger while keeping their will under its control.

Been born after the Scouring, The Black Empire was no more. And so He spent its early years in the underground hideaways of the Aqir tending and controlling its broods.

Awakening of Kith'ix
Until in the Year 15.600 Before the Black portal came the call of Kith'ix. Who had been accidentally awaken by the Zandalari trolls.

For the following 300 years he would participate fully in the war against the recently formed Troll Empire. Its presence was decisive on one of the few large victories of the Aqir, where completely maddened by the possibility of losing the front against to the troll armies he went to the front lines and in an almost suicidal spell, unleashed the great powers of the void onto the enemies destroying the armies there present. Such was the feat he was therefore known as Skartyrk, the Mad.

The End of the Aqir and Trolls War

In Despite of that and other many victories, slowly the tide of the War turned, leading to many consecutive defeats and a ever smaller number of A'qir forces. Behind such turn of event was the Zandalari General Zul'tavakk, whom brilliance and tactics proved again and again to be super effective. When finally Kith'ix was slain the Aqir forces scatter, and the War was lost. Prophet Skartyrk gathered as many Aqir as it could under its will and retrieved to one of the secret underground hideaways. The Aqir forces were shattered and many spread to other regions no longer accepting the call of the Hive.

The Long Waiting...

Despite the fact he could hear the call of the Old Ones - C'thun, God of Madness from its Prison in Silithus, Yogg-Saron, God of Death from its frozen prison on the North and even the faint whispers of the remains of the Greater One Y'Shaarj, in the South, Skartyrk and its broods could not make any of the travels for the Trolls endlessly patrolled their new territories.

The call of N'zoth

And so Skartyrk bought its time tending to its broods in secret and silence and praying to the Ancient ones. Its prayers to the Eldrich Ones were eventually answered when N'zoth, God of the Deep Whispered to him warning him of the coming Sundering and calling it to Gather with Its remaining forces on the Sleeping City of Ny'alotha.

Prophet Skartyrk mobilized its Broods and follow the Dark one to the City of Endless Crimes where he continued to Tend to the Aqir Broods and waited for the great Vision of the Drowned God to come to pass.

The Attack in Uldum

Following the end of the Blood war (or 4th War) Prophet Skartyrk went on to lead its broods on the combined attacks on Uldum. With the goal of taking the Forge of Origination. The forces almost succeeded but due to the combined efforts of the Champions of Azeroth and Ramakhen armies. Not only were their intent undermined the number of the Hive started to dwell expressively forcing Skartyrk and what was left of its broods to retrieve back into the Waking City.

Vengeance for the past.

During this time Skartyrk was designated to many missions with the intent of reorganizing and boosting the forces of N'zoth.

In one such missions he found it self invading the Tomb of the Zandalari Kings. Its group of invasion intended to find a lost brood of Aqir that was dormant hidden beneath the temple. The temple defenses proved difficult, but the Old Gods servants were able to overcome them. The most powerful of which was the Guardian Spirit of a Zandarali General buried there on honor of its victories of the past. such was General Zul'tavakk, the demise if the A'qir.

The Old enemies, Prophet Skartyrk and General Zul'tavakk, then confronted each other for one last time and although the Zandalari spirit had not lost any of its strength in death, this time the Prophet was able to overcome its nemesis, and as a final blow sent its spirit to the Void Bbeyond, where its soul would be slowly consumed for the Ever-hunger Void.

The Last days of Ny'alotha

The Joy of the victory over its old enemy was short lived. The gathering Azerothian forces, led by the Champion of Azeroth had attacked and laid waste to Ny'alotha and its defenses. Proceeding to do the unimaginable, confronting and defeating N'zoth.

Following the destrcution of N'zoth and ruin of Ny'alotha Skartyrk gathered as many A'qir as were left and together to a few surviving forces fled into Shuma a ancient creature servant of the old Gods still secretly buried within Azeroth's crust.
