Description
Sunstone Dragons are exceptionally rare and powerful beasts. They come into being when a metallic or gem dragon is born on Mount Celestia or given the blessing of a Good Aligned god. These dragons become true embodiments of divine power and exert their influence on the planes of the Gods, acting as protectors of divine power or artifacts or act as the eyes and ears of the gods on the mortal planes. Bhamut himself is protected by these dragons, who also enact his wishes and guard his plane and his followers from Tiamat and her followers.
Shining Specimens: A sunstone dragon bears scales said to be made of pure light. They are glittering, almost translucent scales, glittering with what seems to be bits of gold and polished copper. These scales are contrasted by the dragons great frill, resembling the mane of a lion. Its frills, mane, claws, bones and teeth are all made of the celestial metal, Orihalcum, infusing its very body with holy energy and as such, it sheds soothing, warm light at all times, making even the darkest nights feel mush safer.
Bane of Evil: A sunstone dragon bears an innate hatred for creatures of the dark. Undead, Abberations, and fiendish creatures of all types bear the ire of these divine beasts. Its burning desire for the destruction of entities is so strong that the very light surrounding it destroys such ilk. The dragons are known to hunt down and exterminate liches, creatures of the shadowfell, and have played a hand in stopping more than one demonic invasion of the mortal planes. Even the feared dracoliches would think twice before ever engaging a Sunstone Dragon.
Hoarder of Good: The sunstone dragon, despite its raised status, is still a dragon and as such they have a hoard. These dragons hoard holy scripture, angelic artifacts, paintings of the divine, depictions of great battles, tokens of fallen warriors, and various other golden items. The one thing it desires most it to have an army of strong warriors. it grants blessings and loot to those it finds worthy on the condition they answer its call in times of war and use their newfound strength to protect the weak and raise up the downtrodden. These are its most precious treasures, protectors of the innocent.
Lair and Lair Actions
Sunstone Dragons make their lairs in the godly realm of Mount Celestia. Those that make their way into the mortal planes make their homes on the tops of mountains where the sun shines brightly and in fertile valleys where their presence can be felt by the mortal creatures of the plane and they can passively help mortal civilizations.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20(losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Several of the dragons shining scales begin to float and morph into blades of light. The dragon the launches these at all creatures it can see within its lair. All creatures the dragon targets must make a DC 23 Dexterity Saving Throw. On a failed save a creature takes 22(4d10) Radiant damage and its movement speed becomes 0 until initiative count 20 on the next round as it is pinned in place.
- The Dragon extends its frills out into the shape of the sun and emits a bright flash. All creatures that can see the dragon must make a DC 23 Constitution saving throw or become blinded until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- The dragon speaks a divine edict. All creatures that can hear the dragon must make a DC 23 Wisdom Saving throw. On a failure they must obey a 1 word command given by the dragon as if by the command spell. The effect lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary Dragon’s lair is empowered with divine energy, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Plant life flourishes in the area containing a Sunstone dragon's lair. Crops grow twice as fast and yield more than double the amount they normally would.
- The area containing the dragons lair has perpetually clear skies and its warm and sunny year round in a 3 mile radius.
- Whenever a creature enters a trance or falls asleep in the area within 6 miles of the dragons lair, the dragon may make a telepathic connection to the creature and communicate to it through its dreams. The creature remembers the dragon's visit.
- Undead creatures are are turned away from the area within 6 miles of the dragons lair.
If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 2d8 days.
