Lo Lao Tzu

Dragon of the East

Lao Tzu is the eldest of the four sons of Lugus, a gargantuan, benevolent dragon who embodies strength and goodness. As a demi-god, Lao Tzu played a crucial role in assisting mortals during the events of The Forgotten War, and even fought alongside the legendary Guardians of Rend but, following the Forgotten War, he and his brothers were no longer allowed to interfere directly in mortal affairs.
Legends and Myths:
1. The Creation of the Eastern Winds
It is said that Lao Tzu created the eastern winds by breathing out the morning mist, bringing gentle breezes that carry the scent of cherry blossoms and new beginnings.
2. The Protector of the East
Ancient texts recount how Lao Tzu safeguarded the eastern realms from invading dark forces, using his immense power to form an impenetrable barrier of storms and lightning.
3. The Wisdom of the Dragon
Lao Tzu is revered not only for his strength but also for his profound wisdom. It is believed that he taught the first monks the principles of balance and harmony, which later became the foundation of the Onmyoji.
4. The Forbidden Intervention
After the Forgotten War, the great dragons, including Lao Tzu, were bound by an ancient pact that forbade them from directly interfering in the mortal realm. This has led to numerous stories of Lao Tzu guiding mortals through dreams and visions, offering cryptic advice that could alter the course of destiny.

Personal history

Lao Tzu was born when the Durahee first made their claims on territory in Duranuun. As the eldest son of Lugus, the god who claimed the skies, Lao Tzu inherited a significant portion of his father’s power and wisdom. During this time, Dagda, Lugus's younger brother, claimed the largest continent. Out of respect and familial bond, Dagda permitted Lugus to give the mountain tops to his dragon creations. Lao Tzu and his brothers were tasked with maintaining the balance of the natural world from their high perches. Lao Tzu, in particular, took a keen interest in the eastern regions, where he often interacted with the early civilizations, guiding them and imparting wisdom. His benevolence and strength earned him a revered status among the mortals.
