Combat

In the midst of combat, Ligprenay, the Great Wyrm Solar Dragon, harnesses her immense size and formidable powers to engage her adversaries with a devastating array of abilities. As a radiant force of nature, she strikes terror into the hearts of her foes while upholding her role as a guardian of righteousness.


While Solar Dragons are fierce and relentless combatants, they also possess a sense of honor and righteousness. In her sense of mercy, she offers her adversaries an opportunity to beg for their lives and escape the impending destruction before combat begins, allowing them a chance at redemption and a lesson in the consequences of their actions. In the heat of battle, Ligprenay extends a chance for her opponents to surrender, offering salvation to those who choose to yield.

Ligprenay, with her colossal form, becomes a force of destruction, dealing substantial damage to enemy ships and structures. Her sheer presence alone commands attention, forcing her adversaries to divert their attention and resources towards countering her might.


Recognizing the threat posed by spellcasters, Ligprenay focuses her attacks on neutralizing these potent foes. With precision and intelligence, she seeks to disrupt their incantations, using her vast wingspan and devastating breath weapons to create chaos and dismantle their magical defenses. 


Ligprenay possesses several breath weapons, each tailored to different combat situations. Her first breath weapon is a blinding cone of radiant light, designed to diffuse tense situations without causing harm. This serves as a warning to her adversaries and a display of her power, urging them to reconsider their course of action.


If the battle escalates and a more direct approach is required, Ligprenay employs her second breath weapon—a forceful line of energy that pushes away and disorients enemies. This allows her to create space and disrupt enemy formations, giving her an advantage in controlling the battlefield.


The Solar Dragon's most potent breath weapon is her Photonic Breath, which consists of powerful pulses of energy akin to magical missiles. This weapon strikes with uncanny precision, rarely missing its intended targets. The pulses can be directed towards a single foe or divided among multiple targets, delivering devastating blows to those in their path. Concentrating the pulses on a single target summons a flashing mote of radiant energy, which travels to a designated point before erupting into a blinding 30-foot-radius sphere, wreaking havoc upon any unfortunate enough to be caught within its radiance.

Ligprenay, as a Great Wyrm, can invoke spells akin to Bigby's Hand, Shapechange, Wall of Force, Forcecage, and Prismatic Sphere.

Furthermore, she possesses innate healing capabilities, capable of creating effects like Cure Critical Wounds, Regenerate, Remove Blindness or Deafness, Remove Paralysis, and Restoration. This unique capacity grants her the means to mend wounds, restore vitality, and aid her allies in times of need, further solidifying her role as a benevolent and formidable protector.


Ligprenay's combat style exemplifies her radiant power and her relentless dedication to protecting her realm. She employs a strategic mix of overwhelming force, blinding light, and magical abilities to decimate her enemies and ensure the safety of those she holds dear. In the heat of battle, she stands as an unyielding beacon of light, harnessing the full extent of her abilities to uphold justice and defend against any who dare threaten the sanctity of Xaryxispace.

History

Ligprenay's history is intertwined with the grand tapestry of cosmic events and the celestial realm of Xaryxispace. As a majestic Solar Dragon, she stands as the embodiment of radiant light and embodies the power of the Sun itself.


In the age before the death of Io, the primordial Dragon Deity, Xaryxispace was a thriving haven for Dragons of various kinds. The celestial expanse echoed with the roars and the shimmering scales of numerous dragon species, each contributing their unique essence to the harmony of the realm. Ligprenay, in her youthful days, experienced a vibrant and diverse Dragon community within Xaryxispace.


However, the tragic demise of Io had a profound impact on the dragons of the Cosmos. The cataclysmic event reshaped the very fabric of Dragonkind, leading to the extinction of many dragon species within Xaryxispace. Only the Solar Dragons, with Ligprenay at their forefront, survived the aftermath, their golden wings continuing to grace the vast expanse of their home.


Ligprenay, as one of the last remaining Solar Dragons, took up the sole mantle of guardianship over Xaryxispace as the oldest, safeguarding it from threats that sought to encroach upon its sacred borders. When the small and vulnerable Xaryxian Astral Elves came to her Wildspace as refugees, she proudly welcomed them as immortal children that she could watch grow.


One of her most significant challenges arose in the form of Lunar Dragons, natural adversaries who hailed from the Astral Sea and other celestial bodies whose natures did not always live in the light of the Sun. In a climactic battle against a powerful Lunar Dragon that sought to claim a moon of the planet Vaerduran as its lair, Ligprenay displayed her unwavering courage and strength. Faced with the imminent threat, she called upon her Solar radiance, summoning the very essence of Xaryxis itself to aid her in the epic struggle. With a colossal display of power, she unleashed a cataclysmic explosion, obliterating the moon and thwarting the Lunar Dragon's in one blast.


This decisive victory over the Lunar Dragon solidified Ligprenay's reputation as the unyielding protector of Xaryxispace. The remnants of that destroyed moon serve as a lasting testament to her unwavering resolve and her willingness to go to extreme lengths to defend her domain.


Additionally, Ligprenay's personal journey has been marked by a bittersweet longing for a legacy of her own. While she reached adulthood, the prime time for dragons to lay eggs and perpetuate their lineage, she found herself unable to produce a clutch of eggs. This loss, brought about by the death of Io, weighed heavily on her heart, and she bore the weight of this unfulfilled desire with a mix of sorrow and acceptance.


Yet, despite this personal setback, Ligprenay's commitment to her role as the radiant Queen of Xaryxispace remains resolute. She channels her maternal instincts and protective instincts into safeguarding her domain and guiding Astral Elves who seek to bond with Solar Dragons, offering them a chance to summon these celestial beings from distant Suns.


Ligprenay's history is one of resilience and unwavering dedication. She stands as a stalwart guardian, shining her radiant light upon the Sosmos and ensuring the legacy of Solar Dragons endures, even as she carries within her the weight of a lost lineage and the echoes of a bygone era.
