The Greater Dragons — Orb

Orb is a large brilliant Gold Greater Dragon worshiped by the Dragonswright church as the bringer of light and life. Orb is associated with daylight. Orb can speak, read, and write any known language, and is the equivalent of a Master Mage. Orb represents light, life, gold, and purity, among other things. Orb is rarely seen in public. Any public appearance of Orb in Dragon form usually means something cataclysmic is about to occur. Orb can remember events going back to almost the formation of the world. Orb prefers to speak to Priests of Dragonswright and those of Good alignments. Orb prefers to ignore those of Evil alignment. If attacked, Orb is the equivalent of a 21st level Master Mage. He has, among other skills, three levels of Magery, is a master of flight, has inherent Magical Aptitude, and, as a last resort, can attack with all four claws and his tail and bite. He can use his Breath Weapon, consisting of concentrated solar energy, up to twenty times a day. Orb is capable of shapechanging himself into almost anything, but he usually transforms himself into a Humanoid form, and frequently a Human. When doing so, he appears normally as a slightly middle-aged man in Oriental style clothing, generally marked with gold thread and/or gold embroidery.
