Ablenkian's escape, one of the few remaining accounts of the Dragon riders.

The ilujanka, nicknamed as the dragon riders, were a race of beings that served Zaros and near the end of the Second Age. Little is known about them other than that they had a unique talent for taming and riding dragons, which was considered an impossible feat, thus making them formidable and dangerous opponents. They were known to be very skilled in combat and a few served as honour guards of Zamorak after defecting.[1] There are no known dragon riders alive today.

Known ilujanka

  • Ablenkian - A dragon rider who rode a dragon named Hekala. He remained loyal to Zaros after his downfall, but was deemed a traitor by a fellow Zarosian named Corveth and killed by a pack of ripper demons.
  • Apropos - A dragon rider who defected to Zamorak shortly before Zaros' downfall.
  • Hannibus - A dragon rider who reluctantly followed Zaros, but did not defect to Zamorak and instead tried to remain neutral.

Oh yes, the dragon riders, Mahjarrat, demons and vampyre warriors made up the bulk of the force, but I wager I was their equal in all ways of combat."
