	The old coal had hidden in the Underdark, and found himself cornered to fight for his life by a large group of [[Elf, Sereg'wethrin\|Sereg'wethrin]]. They gave many victims but in the end subdued him by magic. Thus the dragon knew ~~the exact opposite of~~ Ra-Ghul's freedom, ~~for~~ he was enchained and forced to enchanted sleep, trapped in a nightmare for centuries. But where?		The old coal dragon had hidden in the Underdark, and found himself cornered to fight for his life by a large group of [[Elf, Sereg'wethrin\|Sereg'wethrin]]. They gave many victims but in the end subdued him by magic. Thus the dragon knew not Ra-Ghul's freedom; Instead, he was enchained and forced to enchanted sleep, trapped in a nightmare for centuries. But where?

	That was what we hasted to find out. Some of those we met on the way would gladly steer us on, - such as a Llamassu scholar who had ~~hasted~~ for days on end until finding us in Derome Delem's great library; Others had their own agenda, and could not be trusted - such as Illithid slave traders from the depths of the [[Underdark]].

	Ra-Ghul's will was with us in many ways. Whether directly, as a terrible daemon of ice, conjured at the [[Guild:BlueOrder\|Blue Order]]'s [[Visimontium]] tower nethers where I performed a Scrying, - or indirectly, as the tribe of Fire Giants whom Whisper persuaded to join the Fury and fight against those who had subjected a being of freedom to such terrible fate.

	It is said that Ra-Ghul has eventually united almost all the tribes of Tyedu and in the height of the [[Timeline#Age of Immortals\|Age of Immortals]], gave them an edge against the ambitions of the expanding Kurathene Empire over the Frozen North. Ra-Ghul's followers took after his rites prior to entering battle, which in time transformed into rites of worship to Ra-Ghul's way and Ra-Ghul himself.		It is said that Ra-Ghul has eventually united almost all the tribes of Tyedu and in the height of the [[Timeline#Age of Immortals\|Age of Immortals]], gave them an edge against the ambitions of the expanding Kurathene Empire over the Frozen North. Ra-Ghul's followers took after his rites prior to entering battle, which in time transformed into rites of worship to Ra-Ghul's way and Ra-Ghul himself.

	Those were rites of evoking primal fury, rites of bloodlust -- but Ra-Ghul was also known for a lust for life. Stories depict him as a black-haired man of towering stature and matching girth, with a dancing grace in his step and a thirsty gleam in his eyes. Predominant among story-tellers is the view that Ra-Ghul has ascended to godhood upon a great feast following a thunderous victory. He now welcomes His warriors onto the Great Feast in His Halls, in the Lands of Eternal Battle - Ysgard.

	Many stories remain of the feats of Ra-Ghul in life. One of them goes thus: At the pinnacle of his power, when he became an immortal, Ra-Ghul challenged four old coal dragons. The dragons had long ravaged the northern fringes of the Galdosian mountains, leaving entire settlements in carnage and ruin. If they were driven by hunger, it was a hunger for destruction. Ra-Ghul challenged them alone, and he hunted them down to a narrow gourge in the mountains, where he found himself attacked by three of them at once.

Ra-Ghul challenged them alone, and he hunted them down to a narrow gourge in the mountains, where he found himself attacked by three of them at once.

	For two days and three nights the battle echoed, relentless, with Ra-Ghul showing no sign of exhaustion until on the third dawn's break the three dragons surrendered to him and begged for their lives. It is said that Ra-Ghul granted them this wish but he swore them to his command, and upon his ascension to godhood they remained as living vessels of ~~his will~~ on Avlis, the Dragons of Fury.

	The fourth of the coal dragons, however, had hidden and watched the battle from aside. He fled upon his brethren's defeat and had not been seen, nor heard of for centuries.

	I slowly stepped back, as Whisper stepped forward, proclaiming that the time had finally come for the dragon to face Ra-Ghul's challenge.

The dragon was proud but also cunning -- rather than meet the High Templar tooth and claw, he hurled treacherous magic, and soon had felled his challenger.

	At this, the Fury rose as one, followed by their allies. By prayer's blessing Whisper was back to his feet, and together they drained the dragon from blood and breath.
