Long ago, before Sigmar was seized from the heavens by the great dragon Dracothion, the mighty draconite empire was overthrown by Kragnos, whose divine depredations ravaged city after city until only a handful of Dragonniths remained. In a desperate attempt to defeat what they could not kill, the Krondy and Karazai princes enlisted the help of the enigmatic Lord Kroak to seal Kragnos under a mountain, where he remained until the Necroearthquake destroyed his prison. Kragnos had returned, prompting the draconite princes to sign the Draconis Pact with Sigmar and lead a new generation to war against the enemies of the Order.

An ancient and powerful individual steeped in celestial magic, Krondys is a towering mystical force on the battlefield, capable of unleashing crippling hurricanes at will. His magical mastery is matched by his melee prowess, sweeping entire regiments with a dismissive gesture of his huge wrist, while enemies are reduced to ashes by storms of dragon fire.
