The Great Dragon

A powerful figure who rose to power in year 0. Whether he’s truly a God or not is still being disputed but one thing’s for sure, and that’s that the Great Dragon was a powerful and intelligent being who helped save Mirror Domain from a total demon takeover. Without him, the dreaded demon infestation that ravaged the world would have gotten out of control.

The Great Dragon is said to be a powerful, mighty, and intelligent being who possesses Magic that far outclasses that of Mortals. He’s said to have pure white scales that have flecks of gold scattered throughout. Larger than most dragons, he was said to stand at about 150 feet tall. That being said, he was never seen in his true form. The Great Dragon has the ability to shapeshift. He often took the form of a standard Lesser Dragon, although his powerful Magical aura would almost always give away his true identity.

There’s no one religion centered around this being. Many people who follow him also follow another God or religion. Some only see him as an interesting historical figure, while others use him as a means of explaining the unexplainable. Seeing as he’s a shapeshifter, something that’s relatively uncommon, many people blame this dragon for random acts of violence that happen around the domain.

Most followers of the Great Dragon are Dragons or Lesser Dragons, although the majority of Dragons see this being as a threat and not an ally. Lesser Dragons idolize the Great Dragon and many of them strive to be as kind and selfless as he is. They value his strength. The vast majority of his followers have a set training regimine in hopes of one day rivaling him in terms of power.

Followers of the Great Dragon see him as a symbol of protection. He lurks in the shadows, killing off demons and monsters he deems too dangerous for Mirror Domain. Because of this, his followers do the same. Many of his followers become city guards or join Demon hunters guilds to follow in the Great Dragon’s footsteps. They see themselves as valiant heroes and protectors of the weak. Whether this is true or not depends on the individual. Many Dragons and Lesser Dragons just use this as an excuse to show off their own might and boss weaker creatures around.

While most followers value his raw power, many resent his use of Magic. Magic has been skewed into a symbol of weakness, as the Great Dragon only used Magic in dire situations. As such, Magic is greatly scrutinized by his followers, and many of them abandon it all together.

## **Sightings**

As suddenly as the Great Dragon appeared, he disappeared. People claim that he’s existed for centuries, but only came out of the shadows to prevent the end of the world. Once he’d done so, he went back into hiding. It’s said he’s laying dormant. Gathering information on upcoming events and killing major threats before they come into fruition. That being said, many people claim to have seen him in the years since. They say that the Great Dragon can change his form, but not his body colour. No matter what form he takes he remains pure white and gold. People use this knowledge to seek out the Dragon.

It’s said that anyone who encounters him will be granted a great boon in exchange for keeping his identity secret. He doesn’t want to be found, as becoming mainstream will prevent him from being able to stalk his prey in the shadows. Some think he stays hidden to prevent his Dragon-like tendencies from tainting his persona. He doesn’t want people to see him as a greedy hoarder, he wants them to see him as a valiant and selfless hero.

## **Gods and the Great Dragon**

Believe it or not, Oasis has actually met the Great Dragon. In the Afterlife. Yes, at one point in time, around year 0, he did in fact exist. He did help stop the demon infestation, and he was eventually killed off by his adversaries. Oasis greatly valued the work he did for the Mortal realm, and the two have kept up a relatively close relationship; as close as Oasis is able to get to Mortals anyway.

Seeing as the Great Dragon doesn’t have an organized religion centered around him his existence has yet to anger any of the Gods. DC isn’t exactly fond of him, but DC isn’t fond of any of the Gods real or not. Sandra doesn’t particularly have any opinion on him one way or the other.
