The Greater Dragons — Ra

Ra is a large brilliant Copper Greater Dragon worshiped by the Dragonswright church as the bringer of fire. Ra is associated with twilight — either dawn or dusk – when Orb is not visible. Ra's brilliant copper sheen has faded somewhat with time and age. Ra can speak, read, and write any known language. Ra represents fire, and is highly revered by Dwarves. Ra is rarely seen in public. Any public appearance of Ra in Dragon form usually means something cataclysmic is about to occur. Ra can remember most events going back to almost the formation of the world. Ra prefers to speak to Priests of Dragonswright and those of Good alignment. Ra prefers to ignore those of Evil alignment. If attacked, Ra 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 Flame, up to twenty times a day. Ra can also shapechange and has other abilities. If appearing in human form, Ra generally takes the shape of an elderly Chinese looking man in ornate red robes with copper embroidery. Strangely, Ra is the most popular Dragon to worship. No one in their right mind would even think of attacking Ra for fear that the sun would go out.
