Dhakayan the Black was one of the most feared Sacred Warlords in the history of Meht. His band of Templars from the northern regions of Karkâ were the most feared in the area and Orcs and Men alike fled at his sight.

Dhakayan was born in 541 AS. His father was the honoured, but unsuccesful Warlord Dankadan. Who his mother was is unknown.

Dhakayan died in 627 AS in a battle against the Wasteland Orcs under Warlord Furgenir.
