==Eldar Mythology==
The Void-Dragon is the name the Eldar give to this c'tan, he is portrayed as a figure of oblivion, wanton destruction and devastation. It was a master of the material realm and it's warriors were practically invincible. While eating stars it takes the form of a cloud of dark light. The myth ends with [[Vaul]] attacking the Void-Dragon.<sup>3</sup>
==Dragon memory==
According to Adept [[Semyon]], one of the versions of the Dragon memories shows him fighting the [[Emperor]] near the city of [[Cyrene]] in [[Lybia]] of the 11th or 12th century.
The emperor, a lone warrior knight in golden armour and a scarlet-plumed helmet riding on a mighty charger of midnight black, wielding a tall lance of purest silver, from which flew a long red and white banner depicting a soaring eagle grasping a bolt of lightning, fought the Dragon, with the shape of a half crawling beast with talons like scythe blades, half loathsome bird, an immense scaled head and a tail twenty metres long, with a terrible winged body was covered with scales that were steel plates, rippling like liquid mercury, strong, bright and smooth like the emperor's armour and the light of devoured stars shone in its breast and malignant fire burned in its eyes.
After the emperor defeating the dragon by thrusting the sword at it's weak spot, beneath his left wing, he tied the banner around the helpless Dragon, and claimed that he could not destroy it, the emperor then brought it to mars and bound it beneath the [[Noctis Labyrinth]], now known as the Dragon of Mars.
