Raxora The Consuming Flame Character in Tor | World Anvil

Raxora The Consuming Flame

Raxora, 43 years ago was a savage and relentless ruler. A tyrant that washed flame on those that did not submit. For hundreds, she claimed territory over the lands surrounding Mt. Boria. In her youth, she relished in the destruction, the gold, the power, as well as the futile attempts of her capture by Miniriin so called "Dragon Hunters". However with time, these things began to bore her relentlessly. She began to study ancient tomes, read poetry, and listen to music from the lesser beings she had ravaged for centuries, and this ember of curiosity, grew to a burning flame of desire. Desire to see what living so small would be like, desire to water plants, read books, and learn why the gods cherished mortals so readily. So she lived among the puny things that had tried to stop her, to appease her, to worship her for so long, and she began to love it. The moments of quiet, the simple conversations the little ones did, even ruining those who mistook her for a young woman ripe for the picking. That is before she met Kythen, the love of her life. He was a noble soul, one of those types who would get it in their head that they could slay something like her. These types had always made her laugh, though now it wasn't at the other end of a blade, but rather, the other side of a bar room table. Raxora, or rather Xora in her human form met with Kythen often. First as a simple hello, or aid with mundane work, then traveling to far off towns to help him with bounties or jobs. And finally to just be around him, and under a particularly clear night under the stars she had seen change over her many years of life, she made her love for him official.

They lived happy and content with each other for the next ___ years, bearing one child in this time named Paliana. But when High Seeker Maako Tealeaf, and his dragon hunters had finally caught up with Raxora, they used Kythen as leverage and captured Paliana. Raxora with a broken heart was forced to flee, lest she suffer the same fate. Raxora spent the next couple years completely distraught, not knowing whether any of her loved ones had lived. You see, dragons are so long lived, and so sharp in their memory, that years are but moments. Raxora in her mind and heart had still only just fallen in love, even after the 20 years or so she had spent with Kythen. So for her, it was but a moment of true bliss, and a loss for the ages. She wandered Gora for years trying to move past, but could not. So she returned to that little town she had began her new life in all those years ago, and met a young woman named Petra, the daughter of one of her old deceased friends, and became good friends with her. The two became inseparable, and Raxora even revealed her true nature to the young woman, who, despite all odds, understood her plight. With no one left in town for petra to care for, and nothing but a house tying her to her home village, she and Raxora left in search of settling in a new lair. Within Mt. Io they found their new home, where they still spend their days so far, to this day.

Animate Breath (Recharge 5–6). Raxora uses her Fire Breath action to create 2 Fire Animated Breaths within 30 feet of her (Page 163 Fizban's Treasury of Dragons). She must recharge her Fire Breath to perfom this action or her Fire Breath Action, following the same recharge rules.

Frightful Presence. Each creature of Raxora’s choice that is within 120 feet of Raxora and aware of it must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Raxora’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6). Raxora exhales fire in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 63 (18d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Legendary Actions

Raxora can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Raxora regains spent legendary actions at the start of her turn.

Animate Breath. Raxora Uses her Animate Breath Action.

Detect. The dragon makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.

Firebolt. Raxora chooses one target to attack with her firebolt cantrip.

Tail Attack. Raxora makes a tail attack.

Ensnaring Winds (Costs 2 Actions). Raxora beats her wings. Each creature within 40 feet of Raxora must succeed on a DC 22 Strength saving throw or take 15 (2d6 + 8) bludgeoning damage and be Pulled 20 feet closer to her. This effect does not spread around corners, and creatures within 10 feet of her are uneffected.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Raxora takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Raxora can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

  • Magma erupts from a point on the ground Raxora can see within 120 feet of it, creating a 20-foot-high, 5-foot-radius geyser. Each creature in the geyser’s area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
  • A tremor shakes the lair in a 60-foot radius around Raxora. Each creature other than Raxora on the ground in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
  • Volcanic gases form a cloud in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point Raxora can see within 120 feet of her. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is lightly obscured. It lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round. Each creature that starts its turn in the cloud must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of its turn. While poisoned in this way, a creature is incapacitated.

With deceptively slender and smooth body language, Raxora coaxes otheres into believing her more frail. Do not let first impressions deceive however, as that will be the moment of your demise. Raxora is a cunning dragon and sorcerer, who has inherited a great deal of raw strength and magic from her ancestors. More specifically, Thendershar, the original Consuming Flame.

Raxora is a large adult red dragon with smooth and slight features. Her carmen red scales from a distance appear like any other scale, though upon closer inspection, hundreds of arcane runes have been carved or pressed into each scale painstakingly, allowing her magical feats most can't accomplish.
Her head is decorated in all manner of jewelry, and her horns are no different. Two slender yet long black horns twist behind her head, with gold chain hanging between them.
