Dularanahk was a powerful red dragon from the Age of Demons.[1]
— Dularanahk to Katashka[1]
History[]
Dularanahk fought against the Overlord Katashka the Gatekeeper and his rakshasa servants during the Age of Demons.[1]
Appendix[]
Notes[]
It is theorized that Dularanahk's deeds during the Age of Demons possibly inspired some of the myths of Dol Arrah, the Sovereign of Sun and Sacrifice of the Sovereign Host. Furthermore, it is possible that Dularanahk was the sister of Dulazurak, who presumably betrayed her and their brother somehow and became the inspiration for the Mockery, the Sovereign of Terror and Treachery of the Dark Six.[2][3]

With that said, there are certainly implications that many of the myths of the Sovereigns are based on the deeds of a group of dragons who fought in the final war against the Overlords of the Age of Demons. The blue dragon Ourelonastrix discovered the Draconic Prophecy; Aureon, Lord of Lore, is sometimes represented as a blue dragon. In Dragons of Eberron we have an image of the red dragon Dularanahk facing Katashka the Gatekeeper; Dol Arrah is sometime represented as a red dragon, while the Mockery is represented as a half-fiend red dragon. So in MY mind, when the dragons and the couatl were fighting a war to claim reality from its fiendish overlords, one of their greatest (and most cunning) warriors betrayed them in a quest for power. This would explain the depiction of the Mockery as a "half-fiend"; he might have merged with an Overlord, or at least become infused with demonic power."

"You've already made clear the differences between the Sovereign Host and the Overlords, but would you consider the Dark Six as a whole to be enemies of the Overlords as well? I'm going to rewrite my original answer to this question, because I think it was unclear. First of all, a defending element of the Sovereigns and Six is that their existence cannot be conclusively proven. They are said to be omnipresent and to influence their spheres wherever events occur. The Dols are present anytime blades are drawn. And yet they cannot physically manifest. In this, they are concretely different from Overlords, who influence a limited area (even if potentially a very large one) and can physically manifest. An Overlord can be bound, and an Overlord cannot. So in some ways it's a meaningless question, because the Dark Six don't manifest, so HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? With that said, I'd argue that EVERYONE is against the Overlords. If I'm a medusa priestess of the Shadow, I'm not going to look at Bel Shalor and say "I dunno, I kind of like the cut of his jib." Among other things, most cultures that revere the Dark Six look at their positive elements. You could say that Tul Oreshka and the Fury have some overlap, but Tul Oreshka is PURE MADNESS, while the Fury can reflect the positive aspects of passion and emotion. WITH THAT SAID: Canon sources suggest that many of the myths associated with the Sovereigns and Six are drawn from the actions of dragons in the First Age, who may have somehow ascended to become the Sovereigns; this is the foundation of Thir and the Church of the Wyrm Ascendant. By these principles, Dol Dorn, Dol Arrah and Dol Azur were all martial dragons, and Dol Azur was flayed after betraying the others – suggesting that he, at least, was working with the enemy. The dragon who became the Keeper may have had an alliance with Katashka. The MYTH of the Shadow may have been inspired by Bel Shalor – even though the Shadow that is worshiped in Droaam ISN'T Bel Shalor."
