CHECK OUT THE FULL GOLDEN KHAN RENTRY TO GET CONTEXT ON THE AU'S LORE

Art is original AI slop.

PERSONAL NOTES:

We have Durin at home.
Inspired by a post on /gig/ where some indonesian gentleman called the playable Durin out for being a 'inoffensive manlet'. Figured I should do the world a favor and correct that part by pouring dangerous doses of the kind of schlickslop you'd find in Milking Farm all over the dragonboy.

Heavily inspired by Frank Horrigan, Adam Smasher and Hunter: Red Star.

BACKSTORY:

First paragraph ai-genned canonslop. Original Durn gets his throat cut n almost fuckn dies, blah-blah.

Durin, clinically dead, slowly rotted over centuries within Dragonspine, leaving only his beating, Abyss-tainted heart. Subject Two eventually escaped the corpse and observed the Golden Horde's invasion. He engineered a fellflower disguised as Sucrose to lure Albedo to an isolated spot, where he killed Albedo with an icepick and assumed his identity. He returned to Albedo's lab just as a real Golden Horde raiding party, led by the Golden Khan him/herself, arrived. After negotiations and learning of Positive Khemia from Nigredo (An OC half-descender/half-Khaenri'ahn offspring of the Golden Khan that may or may not be related to Rhinedottir), Albedo joined the Horde and was elevated to Co-Ruler of the Ulema, the Golden Horde's "hardline" political faction.

Three years later, using his vast resources to rebuild Durin as an ultimate weapon against Liyue, Albedo sent a team to excavate Durin's heart. The heart's corrosive blood melted its container during transport, spilling toxic miasma that killed most of the team. After a Mukhabarat cover-up, the heart reached a DAM (Basically a Gulag mixed with a factory/research facility), where a furious Albedo ordered the survivors shot.

The Janissary commander, having learned the mission's true purpose, volunteered to be the vessel for Durin's rebirth in exchange for sparing his team. Albedo agreed. The commander underwent a year of torturous enhancement: his body was encased in titanium-alloy armor, his blood replaced with Durin's, and he died clinically, his form mutating draconically.

Durin possessed the body, consuming the man's memories and skills. Upon rebirth, Albedo and Nigredo revealed their link to Rhinedottir and their relation to Durin. Freed from his original delusions and recognizing Albedo's voice from his centuries of dying, Durin agreed to join the Ulema, his inherent bloodthirst aligning with its ideology.

Though he missed the Liyue War, Durin negotiated with the Mukhabarat. He demanded the dead commander's rank of Corbashi and his own independent Janissary group under Ulemite control. The Mukhabarat agreed, stipulating that they would only be used for external operations. Durin accepted, now officially with the Mukhabarat but answering to the Ulema's leadership, his loyalty further secured by Ulemite propaganda making him a near-national hero.
