History
Cadmus was the first known case of Umbra Languorem. He was a young prince of one the Dragonic Kingdoms until one day he went mad killing his father mother and brother sparing only his little sister and brothers wife, Kaida, who he later took as his own wife. after being crowned king his rage, ego and compulsiveness continued to grow. He started wars with allies, stole other dragons wives simply because he wanted them. His people feared him, other kingdoms dared not go near him. Eventually he began talking to himself. Accounts say he had conversations about people being after him, that they all wanted to kill him. It wasn't long after that, that he destroyed his entire kingdom and surrounding cities. His Rampage would have continued had it not been for Kaida's sacrifice of her own life to stop him.
The only survivor was Cadmus' little sister.
