In the heart of the Shimmering Ultra, a vast desert that stretches beyond the horizons of Dramoor, a legend has taken root, one that whispers of a creature both feared and revered. Raicamex, known by many titles including the Tyrant of Dream Water, the Thousand Year Scourge, and the Black Beast, roams these lands. This Night Dragon, towering at an imposing twenty feet at the shoulders and stretching thirty feet with its thick, reptilian tail, embodies the very essence of power and malice. With a wingspan of nearly sixty feet, it casts a shadow that chills the hearts of the bravest warriors and darkens the brightest days.

Raicamex's appearance is as formidable as its reputation; a lion-dragon hybrid face with a long, thick neck and fiery, cunning eyes that hold centuries of wisdom and malice. Its black, leather-plated skin, adorned with natural highlights of red and orange, serves as an intimidating armor. This creature is no mere beast; it is the embodiment of ancient power, immune to toxins, diseases, and most forms of attack that would fell lesser beings. Its breath, a hot and highly caustic glowing red plasma, can disintegrate organic matter within seconds and destroy almost any surface it touches.
For over 800 years, Raicamex has roamed the lands of Dramoor, striking fear into the hearts of its inhabitants. Known for its ruthless attacks on areas already struck by calamity, its reputation precedes it. Despite being pursued by many, none have been able to locate its lair or successfully confront it. Raicamex is more than a predator; it is a cunning entity, plotting several steps ahead and manipulating situations to its advantage. Its vain and aggressive nature makes it a feared opponent, and its covetousness has led it to amass a great wealth, which it hoards jealously. Raicamex stands as a testament to the power of the ancient and the eternal, a creature that has woven itself into the fabric of Dramoor's history.

Lord Elion Aelthorn

In the sprawling narratives that encompass the lands of Dramoor, where tales of dread and wonder intermingle, Lord Elion Aelthorn emerges as a figure of fascination and awe. Noble Elf of the Silverleaf lineage, Elion is a warrior born of ancient magic and refined through centuries of training. His name is whispered in the same breath as the most perilous beasts and the darkest of legends, for he is Dramoor’s most renowned monster hunter and the bane of creatures cloaked in nightmare.
Elion's quest is singular and consuming: to hunt down Raicamex, the Black Beast that has tormented the realm for ages. With keen eyes that seem to pierce through the darkest veils and a lithe frame honed for battle, Elion moves with a grace that belies the deadly determination that fuels his pursuit. Clad in armor forged from the mystical ores of the Whispering Mines and imbued with enchantments by the high mages of Eldoria, he is a vision of lethal elegance. His weapon, the legendary blade Glimmerstrike, is said to hum with a celestial power, a sword that can cleave through the scales of a dragon as easily as it would the air itself.
The hunt for Raicamex is more than a test of skill for Lord Elion; it is a personal vendetta etched into his very soul. The Night Dragon's plasma breath once scorched the ancient groves of his homeland, leaving behind a desolation that could never be forgotten. Each stride across the Shimmering Ultra, each silent vigil under the cold gaze of the stars, brings Elion closer to his quarry. The pursuit has spanned decades, and with each passing year, the legend of Elion grows. He is the shadow at the edge of dragon tales, the avenger in the stories mothers tell their young.
Yet, the hunt is a chess game played on a board as vast as the desert itself. Raicamex, with its cunning intellect and malicious wisdom, is no ordinary prey. It weaves traps as easily as it breathes fire, and its lair remains hidden by magics old as the sands. Lord Elion must rely on more than strength and steel; he must become an enigma, a creature of myth, as is his adversary. For to slay a legend, one must become legendary, and in this timeless dance of hunter and hunted, the line between the two blurs. Will Elion become the ultimate legend slayer, or will he be yet another whisper lost in the winds of the Shimmering Ultra? Only the fates know, and they are as silent as the grave.
