Korvig's ascension is perhaps his only impressive story, beginning life as a mere runt of a water dragon. Small, unintelligent and beastly, Korvig was to be a humble blip in the grand scales of time. However, fate was twisted one day to alter Korvig's course forever. The water dragon had been dragged through a whirlpool of The Swollen's making. These vortexes are said to lead on for miles, transporting whatever falls through into The Void to be stored away forever. Escape was thought to be impossible. That was until Korvig broke that theory. As the first in history to reemerge, Korvig Ascended. Not only did he now have divine powers, but a grand hoarde of The Swollen's stache to keep for himself. But unlike The Swollen, Korvig knew the values of what he now owned.

Greed overcame the water dragon, carving out a cove to call his own and guard his stollen trove. Through time, it is said that every gold coin in circulation has touched his shell, passing through his cove one way or another.
