+**Krakens** are monstrous creatures that live within the sea, posing a threat to all the seafaring races of [[Eberron]]. Krakens are extremely long-lived and extremely intelligent, and serve as gods to some of the [[Sahuagin]] clans across the seas.
+====== Histoire ======
+According to the ancient legends of the [[Sahuagin]], the krakens have been around for millennia. Their legends speak of a great war between the krakens and the [[Dragon]]s during the [[Âge des Démons]], though it is unsure if the krakens were allies with the fiends of [[Khyber]] or independent agents. Over the years, the krakens have survived, and have become god-like beings in the eyes of the sahuagin. Some clans of sahuagin worship these malevolent creatures, while others see the krakens as an affront to their god [[Shargon]] and seek to destroy them.
+The krakens continue to entreat with the [[Dragon]]s and other elder seafaring races (such as [[leviathan]]s and [[sea drake]]s) as part of the [[Krakenheart Council]]. The great races all meet in the [[Vortex]] within the [[Mer des Dragons]].
+Sailors have found an increase in kraken activity within the [[Mer du Tonnerre]]. A number of ships have fallen to the mighty tentacles of the krakens. Some attribute this increase to the presence of [[npc:zlortharkis]], a cunning and evil kraken.
+The kraken is the symbol for [[Maison Lyrandar]], taken after the firstborn of their house, [[npc:lyran]], was said to have the blessing of [[Arawai]] and used krakens to smite his pirate foes. A small cult within Maison Lyrandar, the [[Front Orageux]], believe that krakens are actually the greatest heirs of Maison Lyrandar, and that they too can become krakens if they gain enough power. There might be some truth to this, since Maison Lyrandar ships have been free from attacks by the increased kraken activity in the Mer du Tonnerre.
+====== Apparence et Personnalité ======
+{{:60.jpg|//A kraken on the attack//}}Krakens resemble gigantic squid, with large tentacles emerging from a streamlined body. Kraken count eight tentacles: two which are nearly 60-feet-long and covered with barbs, and six which are 30-feet-long. They have a beak-like mouth beneath their swarms of tentacles.
+Krakens are highly intelligent, and usually extremely malicious. They take delight in dragging unknowing prey deep beneath the waves. They have been known to build Géant communities of stolen Humainoïde slaves in air pockets deep beneath the ocean.
+====== Capacités ======
+Krakens use their Géant tentacles to grab and crush ships sailing the seas. They use their smaller tentacles to grab unknowing prey, dragging them deep beneath the sea. A kraken's tentacle is extremely strong, and can crush a small ship. They move at great speeds, and can use their bodies to ram vessels. Much like a squid, a kraken can jet quickly in the opposite direction, firing off a cloud of ink as it goes.
+Krakens also have the ability to control the weather, and will use this to whip up storms to besiege their targets.
+Krakens can speak both [[Aquan]] and [[Commun]], and are telepathic. They can use this telepathy to take partial control of other sea life, using them as minions. They possess darkvision to see beneath the waves.
+====== Lands ======
+Krakens rule deep beneath the [[Mers d'Eberron]]. They are known to congregate beneath the [[Mer du Tonnerre]] between [[Khorvaire]] and [[Xen'drik]], where they can be found beneath the [[Les Dents de Shargon]] and their namesake, [[Kraken Bay]]. They can also be found off the coasts of the continent of [[Argonnessen]].
+====== Notable Personalities ======
+  * **[[npc:zlortharkis]]** is a mighty Demi-démonish kraken that lives beneath the Mer du Tonnerre. He has organized other kraken and various sahuagin clans to attack vessels bound for the city of [[cap-tempete]] in [[Xen'drik]].{{:dragonmarked_house_coa_lyrandar.jpg|//The sigil of Maison Lyrandar//}}
+======Note======
+Krakens are not to be confused with [[npc:calynden_d_lyrandar]], often called "the Kraken," from [[cap-tempete]].
