Challenge Rating: 34 Alignment: Lawful neutral Lauthir is an epic level emerald dragon (effective age category 17). A truly ancient wyrm, he was born in a time when both psionic and magical creatures were beginning to compete against each other for survival. His observation convinced him that psionics would be the losers in this struggle, doomed to extinction. To avoid this end he built a massive underground realm, sealed off from the rest of the world and stocked it with psionic creatures from across the cosmos. He brutally exterminated magic aptitude within his realm and even eliminated divine influences other than few psionic-based demigods. Magic eradicated, he watched over its development from his secret demiplane of Watch, where time flowed at an extremely slow rate. Occasionally he added a new species from elsewhere in the universe or destroyed some resurgence of magic. He has even gone toe to toe with deities on occasion when they interfered with his plans. Now thousands of millennia later, his plans have resulted in what is known as the Sunless Seas. Lauthir is a massive dragon encrusted with gems and gold, though little of this is visible through his liquid emerald skin of the hero. He is very knowledgeable of everything but prefers to keep this information to himself. To a scholar he would be a treasure trove of information with his knowledge of the primordial universe, psionics, and the nature of the planes. Lauthir is slow to act unless a direct threat to his �garden� (as he thinks of it) arises. When he does act, it is with merciless force often with direct action. He rarely relies on minions, other than the golems he has secreted along the edges of the Sunless Seas to destroy interlopers. Few inhabitants of the Sunless Sea are aware of Lauthir�s existence because he so rarely interacts with the world, perhaps once in a millennia (though for him a millennia passes on Watch in a few years). Those who do are mainly scholars and a few confused cultists. Most people attribute the creation of the world or their transportation to it, to a formless psionic deity known as Logos. Most believe Logos is dead or angry with them and don�t suspect he is a figment of their imaginations. Variations: Lauthir is basically an excuse for putting psionics in an otherwise normal world. Some variations on this idea include: � Lauthir�s garden is a demiplane, perhaps with highly altered physical laws. � Lauthir is trying to save some other threatened trait or race, such as gem magic or flumps. � Lauthir is secretly using his garden as breeding ground for weapons (both living and psionic) against his enemies (or magical creatures in general). � The garden remains but the tender is dead. Lauthir died in some cataclysm and now magic is entering the world with horrible consequences. Lauthir is built using some alternate psionics rules that will be posted soon. |
