FEYLORD OF BRUX


The bronze dragon known as Junathoraxus has recently taken up residence
somewhere in the beastlands in Brux. The prevalence of water and high mountain
ridges are suitable to the breed.

However, problems have arisen with local fey, and the dragon has taken it upon
himself to impose order upon the chaotic creatures sharing his domain. As such, he
has appointed himself the local feylord, and has sought to rule the mischievous
creatures.

They Dragon has placed the local wildlife under his protection as well. While allowing
self-defense if attacked, he has proscribed retribution slayings. He has also disallowed
killing of any wildlife in excess of what one intends to eat.

The dragon has amassed a few loyalists in his new kingdom (fey and animal
summons), and while many of the fey are cowed in his presence, his rule is mocked
and ignored more often than not in his absence. Several unseelie even rebel openly
(hostiles). Something the dragon will not abide.

The dragon has even reportedly convinced several planar visitors to aid in policing his
realm, and combating those that rebel. Some planar travelers might remark that the
creature rewards generously for their aid.

Curious how the situation will unfold, as the dragon seeks to establish a lawful
kingdom over the chaotic fey

THE BATTLE OF SALTS,

Juna participated in the war against the aspiring nightmare good Kruphai and served
as a mount for one of the factors wielding blessed blades specifically procured to end
the would-be god.



LEAVING HIS KINGDOM IN BRUX

With the arrival of the Unseelie Pale Prince in Brux, Juna's kingdom established to
protect the beasts of the beastlands and keep the fey from killed each other is frozen,
and he is forced to flee. He continues to seek ways to fulfill his duty to his wards
despite having to have abandoned the mountain.


JOINING THE HIROMO CLAN

Juna finds inspiration in learning of the code of Bushido from the Cager Itsuyashi
Hiromo, and swears an oath of loyalty in joining the Hiromo clan.



JOINING THE HARMONIUM.

Pondering the significance of the battle of salts, and greater threats among the
planes, Juna decides embroil himself in Sigilian politics, and throw his support behind
the Harmonium, becoming a namer of the faction. Specifically a proponent of the
Conformatist philosophy, that harmony can be preserved if all things act according to
their nature, and are relegating to their proper place. A succubus is a succubus, do
not her seductive pleas convince you otherwise.


He moves within the ranks of the harmonium to gather support against the Pale
Prince on the argument that as an aspirant Unseelie power he belongs in
Pandemonium, not his nest upon the dragon's mountain in Brux, attempting to sway
those who follow the conformatist creed to act against him.

SEARCH FOR TRIBUTE OR TREASURE

In the absence of more pressing duties, Juna turns to fulfilling his obligations in tending to Io's Charge, and his instincts of ever increasing his hoard.
One of the oldest of draconic lore, Io's Charge holds that Dragons were created, intended, and prophecized to rule over lesser creatures.
Juna begins researching lore sources for opportunities to secure new and worthy treasures or honorable tribute.

For treasures, he seeks lore on all manner of oddities from around the planes (with a focus on sunken treasure from watery realms, even primes).

For tribute, he looks for lore on small kingdoms in coastal terrains which may be warring, or news of pirate holds who may be looting (both Planar and Prime).
In either case, he seeks opportunities to impose either peace or reform through a combination of diplomacy, intimidation, and force,
and exact honorable tribute to secure his efforts.
The Bronze dragon interprets such actions as his fulfillment of Io's charge, seeing himself the shepherd, patron, and guide for such fallen peoples.

AUDIENCE WITH A DRAGON


As renovations being conducted by Fated Factor Rhistel Aidan near completion, the
Regal Dragon Junathoraxus inscribes the terms under which his new audience hall in
Mercuria, the 2nd layer of the 7 heavens, will be open to visitors. Those found worthy
by the Hebdomat, shall have access to his great halls ((entrance in hebdomat temple)).


-- All outsiders from the lower planes will be barred entry, as such vile creatures have
no business roaming Mount Celestia or witnessing the majesty of any realm beyond
the pit that had spawn them ((OOC: If someone wants to come in altered shape to RP
I'll play dumb)). Mortals with the vile blood of evil outsiders coursing through their
veins will be welcomed, as all mortals may seek redemption.

-- All beasts will be given sanctuary within the halls of Junathoraxus, will receive food
and be cared for, so long as they mind the dragons laws and slay no other for
neither food nor sport, within his hallowed halls.

-- any fey fleeing the cold and vile rule of the Usurper, the Pale Prince - unseelie
archfey who extends his reach far from its bounds of Pandemonium into the
Beastlands of Brux - will be offered sanctuary and protection within the halls of
Junathoraxus, so long as they swear and oath of fealthy and bind themselves to mind
the dragons decree's.

-- Pilgrims seeking to pay homage to Bahamut are welcome in the dragons halls, and
may visit the SHRINE kept within them. Tribute to the dragon who keeps the shrine is
expected.

-- All cagestruck arrivals to Sigil, the City of Doors, seeking aid against the dangers
of the planes may seek aid and council from the wise and merciful dragon, that they
may heed his council on the path to worthiness and redemption. They may claim his
aid, wisdom, and succor to protect themselves from the dangers and temptations of
the planes.

-- Those of noble heart and vision, be they warrior, artisan, or poet, may seek the aid
and council of the mighty Junathoraxus, and request his patronage in the pursuit of
great deeds to be cast upon the multiverse.

-- Those who visit the dragon and are received in his halls should be prepared to
present themselves in the highest of decorum, and be prepared to offer tribute of a
most valuable nature, be it knowledge, gold, or song.




////DM's/EM's, I encourage you to use the area and my character in generating events.

Some ideas include:

- any Mercuria/Celestial/Hebdomat plots.

- introducing newer Celestial, Lawful, paladinly or just lost players to Juna.

- Something to contribute to plots to be found in the dragons library, armory, or hoard
(the actual library and armory areas will be added in an update).

- Something involving the fey NPC's taking sanctuary with the Dragon from Brux.

GENERAL ACTIVITY:


Juna had spent the following months largely tending to his halls and the interests of
Mercuria. He had been providing aid and council to various new planewalkers found
worthy, and had attempted to staff his halls. He had also entertained many visitors
from throughout the planes, and of course had frequently accepted visits from his
clansmen among the Hiromo Clan.



HARMONIUM ACTIVITY:



- Having largely been left to his own devices by his faction since deferring promotion,
Juna has managed to uncover and stifle an infiltration attempt by the Shadow Fey
which sought to use Harmonium forces to murder rival planewalkers including the
Mercykiller Dace Andor and the Sensate Aleis D'canaith.


- With the calling to council of all the factions within the hall of speakers, Juna had
attempted to broker an unlikely alliance with the Demon Athar Morthos the
God-loather. The two factions were to unite on two fronts along their common
interests. In the Hall of Speakers the Athar were to support the Harmonium on the
matter of remaining the controlling force within Sigil's Bazaar, and the Harmonium
were to lend aid in the Athar cause of preventing the Raven Queen from achieving
godhood - as she intended to harness the souls of 10,000 Sigilians in her ascension.
When the vote came, while they Athar were the only faction outside the Triad who did
not cast their vote against the Harmonium, they had merely abstained. The extent to
which the Harmonium will be willing to lend aid on the second front of their shakey
alliance in return for this half-measure is still pending.



HIROMO ACTIVITY


During his trips to Sigil, Juna had taken efforts to put to use the Hiromo SpellJammer
the Yugure Ryu warship sailing under the command of Captain Moon, to use as a
commercial and exploration vessel when not tending to martial matters. The clan has
been looking for a Quartermaster to tend to staffing the ship and securing contracts,
and may have found one in the Jann Hussein.



MOUNT CELESTIA



The Dragon has continually fostered good relations with his neighboring celestials in
Mercuria. Training, feasting, and discussing matters of faith and philosophy. Some of
the planewalkers visiting his lair found worthy, have been equip by the dragon and
introduced to the nearby garrison to assist in training and preparation.



The dragon had accepted and fulfilled a holy quest for the Archon, with the aid of
allies within Sigil. He was tasked with retrieving a cursed blade infused with the power
of Orcus, one which empowered and corrupted its wielder while trapping the souls of
its victims and leaving undeath in its wake. The party secured the blade in the grey
wastes of Hades, and disabled and captured its wielder. The blade was left with the
celestials to be cleansed of the souls it had consumed, to be then given to the dragon
and locked away among his hoard. The blade's wielder, a BUGBEAR 'POOR BERK,'
was left in the dragons custody to be judged. The dragon has made the bugbear his
servant in efforts at redemption, vowing that if the creature cannot be redeemed, he
will be exiled to one of the war-fronts of the Harmonium effort as a forced conscript.
((EM BERK EVENTS))




JUNATHORAXUS LAIR.

While having difficulty filling formal positions for his household, Juna had welcomed
many visitors and guests.



FEY REFUGEE'S - Several fey and beasts (NPC's) from his former home in Brux have
come to take refuge in Junathoraxus Halls. Among them a nymph, neirid, & brownie,
a feytouched warrior, archer, and wizard, A sentient shambling mound of plant
matter, and about half a dozen beasts. The fey fill his halls with laughter and mirth
common to such creatures, and the beasts with the wiles of their natures. They at
times greet and entertain his guests, or guard his treasures in the Dragon's absense.



ARAKI YASHURO - The faction-less plane walker had sought sanctuary among Juna's
halls following some legal troubles in Sigil and other events that had left him
weakened. The dragon accepted his request and granted his hospitality.


EAREIE (SP) - A spirit which has come to haunt his library. Having passed the trials of
the Shrine of Domiel, and kept all the dragon's demands of proper etiquette and
decorum... the dragon has found no cause to attempt to evict the spirit. He was even
considering formally asking it to serve has his Librarian.



SHELLIS - A lost Water Genasi, having long outlived the lifespan of such creatures
wandered into the dragons lair in search of answers. After some trials and tests, it
was determined that the creature in fact was not a genasi, but rather another
creature, locked in such form and bound to servitude, the memory of its true self lost.
It was discovered that the creature was in fact a rare Gem Dragon, of Topaz Scale,
forced into its form during Juna's Trials. The Topaz has been granted status to remain
within Juna's halls, as it learns of its true heritage and nature.


'POOR BERK' BUGBEAR (NPC: EM BERK): A vile and wretched creature cursed by an
evil blade. Judged harshly by the Celestials, it was left to Juna to carry out sentence.
In his wisdom and mercy, the dragon had granted the Bugbear the opportunity to
redeem himself, serving the dragon as he guides the goblinoid to redemption,
knowing that should he be found wanting, his sentence will be exile to some
harmonium warfront.

ASCENSION





The dutiful Bronze dragon, departs from sigil for a spell and ascends the celestial mountain on a pilgrimage in honor of Bahamut. As he ascends up the mountain, time slows amid the greater planes as he spends what seems like years, decades, or even longer in contemplation of Bahamut's teachings and the trials of the Hebdomat.

When he descends, he does so as a radiant dragon, forever changed by the plane itself, and ever more tied to the radiant ideals of Mount Celestia.


(((rerolled as a celestial dragon... it was the right RP step ;)... figured accelerating time higher up the mountain falls within the liberties I can afford to take))).
